To the President and members of the Police Jul

Your petitioners, with respect, represent to
your honorable body that the late high water
has so injured the Toulouse levee-that,s in their
opinion, 1t will require at least four hundred
i dollars tS40O to repair it. That amount will
build it above hlgh-water mark, and will not re-
quife any further appropriation for some ten OF
twenty years; that hada bridge stood where the
leYee did, it would have been an swept away
that q levee can be guaranteed to tand any high
water, il properly built, your honorable body
appointing Commissioners to superintend the
work. Respectfully yours,
