have been removed on last Sun

only the Town, but the country
for two or three miles was in a
few hours relieved of all overflow.
Now if the Bayou was dredgpd
all the way, this surplus would
have been readily carried away
towards the Gulf, and not only
the lands adjacent to Thibodaux.
but all the land on either side of
the Bayou wonld have been at
once cleared Of surplus water.
A work of so much necessity
and practical utility ought not to
fail, for want of means. a work
that will so quickly and perma
