Gents:-We the undersigned committee an.
pointed by your honorable body to ascertain
the damages on public road leading from De-
jeans store to Wyble's bridge. We recommend
that Ernest Roy build levee along his fence
next to the public road, provided he leaves an
outlet, say six feet wide and proper depth to
carry water from said road. And we also re-
commend that Messrs OneZime Carriere and
d. F. Smith leave an outlet of four feet wide,
and said outlet to be OF proper depth, and also
to be made on their division line. That in our
opinion will relieve the road from all water
and will be least detrimental to the respective
