The following report of the Grand Jury
| Judicial Court Of this Parish, was, on motion
of Mr. Kraemer, seconded by Mr.. Moran, re-
ceived and ordered spread on the minutes.
State of Louisiana, Parish of Lafourche,
To the Honorable , rthur F. Knobloch, Judge
of the Goth judicial District Court. sitting
in and for the Parish of 1 afourche, for De-
cember term, 1886.
, Your Grand Jurors, duly cmpaneled to in
vestigate matter in and for said Parish, beg
leave to file this their fiL al report
They have examined the public buildings
which they find are in good state Of preserva
ton. The Jail is clearly kept and the inmates
thereof we'll cared for. The finances of the
Parish are satisfactory, there being asaesta
| anHioionf 70 pOoot o1l l,o hi1ifiAo The rO0dN
are in good condition. 90.
Your Grand Jurors specially call the atteB-
ton Of the proper officers to instructions
placed in the Bayou at Lafourche Crossing.
They have been informed that fathOats have
been sunk and timbers of all kinds have been
| placed in the Bayou fer the purpose of caus-
ing an increase in depth of the water. How
ever this may be it is the wish Of your Grand
Jurors that the proper officer see that they
are removed. for otherwise they will neces
sarily render the Bayou. already greatly OBJ
etructed from natural causes absolutely. I'M
n~avigable.
Your Grand Jurors fully endorse the re-
port made by by their predecessors relative
to the manner in which contractors for build
ing levees destroy property within their
reach. A shert distance from the Tow of
ThibOdanx, immense pits have been dug with
in dangerous proximity of the roads. render
ing the nse thereof extremely dangerous.
We suggest that the Police Jury place
guards in the shape of strong fences around
them in order to prevent serious accident.
The attention of the Police jury il called to
the unfortunate woman now in Jail as insane.
Her condition is very painful and something
should he done to alleviate her sufferings.
In order to more fnrcibly impress the sub
iect of leveeS. your Grand Jurors have kept
for last the condition OF che levees within this
Parish.
The levees are generally good, but in Ger
tain localities are so bad that they give cause
for great apprehension. Your Grand Jurors
! to build and strengthen some levees but the
efforts have not awaited much, as several
new levees are not as vet completed and from
appearances taken into consideration the
meagre forces at work. 1t is almost certain
that they will not be completed in time to
prevent disaster. There are several bad
pieces of levee between the Waverly planta-
ton up to John Webre plantation which. if
not immediately attended to, will cause Sc
rious trouble.
Trusting that the officers to whose care
the above suggestions are madewill fulfill the
duties imposed upon them,
Respectfully Submitted.
