the Police Jury of Lxfourche:
Gentlemen Your committee on Pnbl;o
Roads aud Levees respectfully report, on til.
matters referred to them at your session of
yesterday, as follows:
On petition marked A; issuing from resi.
dents and land owners Of the Choupic and
Chacbay settlements praying for the with
drawal Of the gates placed BY Messrs Geo.
Taylor 4 Co., and Caillouet & Sens acros.
the public road leading from Bayou La
to said settlements. Yonr Committee
is fully impressed with the importance of the
question at issue and consider that the inter
est of all can best be subscrved BY = general
of the matter and hence refer tho
,.A,A.-r e, Hta I-,- g.. I--l
On petition marked b, numerously signed
By citizens Of the 9th and 9Th ward Of che
Parish, calling the attention Of the jury 70
tho cave in the PcnOullle levee Just above tho
locks at Iockport. Your committee after a
careful consideration Of the prayer cannot |
see the possibility Of the Parish undertak ing
the protection OF said Levee owing to the e. |
of a precedent that could not be
maintained without bankruptcy to the Par
lsh unless through tho levying Of a tax on
property throughout the Parish that would
tantamount to confscation. Therefore,
your committee recommend tho refusal of the
pra yer of saidipetition, not, however, without
expressing the regrets of this Jury and the
TO the petitioners that all moral
aud legal support in this matte within the
means Of this jury will be freely and heartily |
to them.
Respectfully Submitted,
