Dear Sir-I urgently request you to
sec that tho Police Jury OF Point Cou>
pee take immediate action to have
tho Grand aud Morganza Levces
guarded so Is to make certain not only
of their condition constantly but to
prevent them being cut by Interested
PARTIES.
The consequences Of a cHevasse at
such an important point, aud through
Ievees of sAch importance, would be
so dcpiorable that | feel called upon
to urge this step. The Board Of En-
giaecfs informs mo that this particular
matter is out Of their Jurisdiction. A
working force of convIcts is aud will
continne to be a few miles above tho
leveea and the Engineer tells mo can
aud will pr0mptly fespond to a call
upon them IN cas- of an immediatc
emergency. Nefy respectfully.
