Whereas at the last session of the
District Court no action was taken by
the Grand Jury looking to the en-
forcement of the existing road laws !;
and whereas such action was indispen-
sible to the usefulness and effective
working of said laws, rendering them
of no force and effect; therefore be it
Resolved, That while we believe
the road ordinance adopted by the Po-
lice Jury at its June session would re-
dound to the great benefit of the pub
lie if properly enforced, still under the
existing conditions due regard for
economy in the public expenditures re-
quires that the ordinance referred to
Should be repealed, and we do there
fore order that the ordinance passed on
the Sth of June, 1883, and known as
the road law be repealed, and be Of no
further force and effect.
