Mr.. Armstead, of West Feliciana, pre-

ordered printed in the Journal:
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Repre-
senuatives of the State of Louisiana, in Gee
eral Assembly convened:
We, the undersigned citizens of the town
Of Bayou Sara, in the parish of West Fell
ciana. and situated at the confluence of the
Bayou Sara and the Mississippi river, re-
specttully represent that the BAYOU Sara, a
large and rapid bayou or creek bounding
the town on the west, has been for a mum
Der of years and still is encroaching upon
the town. Already many thousands of dol
lars worth OF property has been washed
away, and much more, including residences,
saWmills and tenement build.
ngs, is imperiled.
That the impovershment of the planting
interests of the parish, upon which tho
town depends for its trade, has FRUSTRATED
all branches of trade and industry for the
present to such an extent that the property
holders and the business men OF the town
are utterly unable to pay tax or subscrip-
ton to erect works to check the Gazing of
the banks of said bayou.
That the attention of the last Legislature,
being called to these facts, an appropria-
ion OF $4,000 was made to construct break
waters, etc, but that the appropriation was
before the work could be com
Dleted and made effective.
Your petitioners represent that even tho
work has done much to protect
case OF the completion.
Our town is protected from overflow be
evees and a draining machine, and unless
he washing away of the levees on the
Bayou Sara creek are prevented the town
will be constantly in danger of overflow
Turing high water.
Your petitioners therefore pray that youe
body will grant further appro-
1riation of $4,000 to complete the works al
'eady begun, which have cost $1,000, ana
which, unless finished, will be useless
