To the Hon. President and members of the

Gentlemen-In order to facilitate the de-
fully ask permission to cut the old levee at the
foot of st. Patrick 1t. This old piece Of levee
is now perfectly useless as 1t IL protected by the
who hos examined this new levee. has readily
it far superior to the old one. 1t
is two feet above high W alter and is we'll pro-
by facine Of heavy bridge planks: Inc
break occurred two years ago. and which was un
der the saw-mill has been rebuilt outside of the
mill building and It Is now easy OF access. The
levees we're raised, this old piece of levee swAs
not touched at all is sufficient proof thatit was
considered nseless. Hoping. Gentlemen. that
yon will act favorably upon this petition, re-
main
Yours truly,

DoNALDsoNv1LLE,tLA., March, End. 1885.
To the President and Members of the. Police |
Jury, Parish of Ascension.
Gentlemen-To-day examined the Belle !
Point levee left bank fourmiles above Douald- |
sonville to see what should be done in the shape
# repairs as this levee is badly craw-fshed and
;ull Of holes and has been SO for long time. If
ditch were cut along the front slope Of two
loles cut through the leyee and reflled, and |
ahmed as filled up, I think this would put ii |
n good order and would keep the road free !
rom water The work would cost close up to |
$500; and to build new levee on low ground |
n front Of the old, from Q to 5 feet high, $500 |
eet long. say 1900 to $50. Az no levels have |
,een run to determine the quantity Of cubic |
rdn oofS ootf 10 Yyno no r1y
hould be done at once. The levees in the Par
sh are in good order. That at Landry's is to be
attended up.
Yours Respectfully.
