On motion of Mr.. Dossman the minutes 0
the last meeting were adopted as read.
The committee appointed to lay ont a eros
road west OF the town of Opelousas reported
through their chairman Mr.. Boagni, as fol
lows:
10 the Honorable Police Jury st. Landry:
The undersigned who were appointed BY
your body as q commission to examine tht
necessity OF laying out public road from thu
one to the other portions of the parish here
matter designated and the best place to rur
assess damages If amy were claimed, beg leave
to report:
LIST, That n public road is absolutely needed
to large number Of citizens and to the ira
yelling public, TO pass northward from the
public road leading from Opeionsns seat oil
Justice, to Plaquemine Ridge and to Prairie
Ronde to Chataiguier, to the public road from
0pclOasas to Church Prairie to Plaisance to
Flat Town.
ANY one knowing the large humber of PEG
pie who travel on each of these above stated
thuroushfares and who know how thickly
settled arc the localities through which run
these main roads and who know the fact that
these main roads are cut off from each other
by continuous enclosures which follow each
other Tor miles, necessitating n visit to the
town of Opeiousas, to leave one to take the
other of these main roads: are reasons for
establishing this new public road.
Neighborhoods which are near to each 9th
Ell, are separated by long distance by the ELI
closures. There are same reasons for estab-
fishing cross roads from one to another main
road in rural districts, lis there are for cnt-
ting cross streets from one TO another main
street i'll towns.
3D. After viewing the whole country to the
west and to the north west Of Opeleusas
through which a cross road is necessary we
have considered, first the best ground to CON
struct public road. Second, the least in
convenience to the land owners who would
be burdened with q public servitude. Third,
the least cost TO the parish of laying out such
road.
We beg leave to report, that in our opinion,
this road cannot be cut through from any
point too far west of Opelousas, Oh account
of the marshy nature of the ground. The
point which we suggest as the Southern ex-
tremity of this cross road, and from which it
should run towards the Flat Town road, is on
the ridge beyond the marsh and west OF H.
which is enclosed in Capt. Garlaud's field
After cutting off part OF said Garland S
body OF and from the balance, it would
go along the dividing liue between
said Garland and Charles NJ. Thomp-
son to the land of Cl6ophas Comeau
thence between lands of Comeau and Thump-
son aforenamed, thence between lands of said
Comeau aud DIR. V. Boagni thence berry cen
lands of V. Boagni aforenamcd and Octave
Simons. Thus the public road which leads
from Flat Town road to Henry Lastrapes and
to Plaisance Big Woods is reached,
The continuation OF this cross road required
should then run s,0rtitrard, betreeR the lands
of Mrs. Colbert Frilot, of Mrs. Rigobert Lee
melle Mud of Clinton Is. Andrus, on east side.
and the lands of Mrs Oiiu Esprit, of Mrs.
Eoi Sinons and Mrs John Simon, and of Mrs
Edmond O. Dupie, on tho west side, to the
point which is northwest corner Of said An.
drus' land. From this point the road will run
eastward between lands of Mrs. Edmond G.
Dupre, G.. Il. Andrus and Cleophas Comeau.
ON north, aud lands of said Andrus and AL
phonse Prud homme on The south, to the Flat
Town road near corner (southwest) of Fishers
plantation. We annex Il plat OF tie roa.
which we herein above describe.
We further report that rights of way are
given by the landowners adjoining the pro
iected road We further report that no claims
for damages are made by any of the Iandown-
ers, except that Capt. Garland, whose field
would be turned ont. OH the rear end OF his
premises requires that fencing materials, to-
wit, posts, planks and Wire should be furnish
ed him. He would have to build twenty-four
arpents in length of fencing We have calctl-
lated that the cost price of such materials
will be two hundred dollars.
