misunderstanding to instructions
Ibare revisited the Lake Arthur Dis
trjet and inspected the lot or parcel of
land offered by Mr.. Deschamps for
school purposes, and found it some dis
.snce from where MI. Mouton stated it
was and I also would beg leave to
state that it is suitable so far as being
IN the centre of population and is on
The nublic road. 1t is also dry and
easily drained if there should be occa-
sion to 40 50 let1 "ouio duu Al soul
honorable Board should decide to ac-
emit said lot and locate a school there
an that. in my opinion Messrs. jules
Laurents and Ambrose Mouton (who
have been regular in patonizing the
school where it is now located) will not
be able to send their children as regu~
larly IS heretofore.
