| Our attention was called in the Record
ers office to an old rickety table used for
putting books on bv persons using them
The table is old and rough, with uneven
boards that wear the books covering in con
tact with thtm. and we respectfullv suggest
to the Police jury the propriety of chang
ing said table by a suite BILE one.
We have carefully investigated the report
of the Parish Treasurer and found same cor
rect.
We find from an examination Of the books
of the School Board that tue session of
er than III previous years. The schools
have beeu kept open for five months in the
year.
Reports are. that tho roads are in good
order throughout the parish, but this is due
mainly TO the fine weather bv which the
present season was blessed.
1t has been reported to us that the ferry
at ST. Johns chapel is very badly kept the
ramp is bad. tho rope is rotten, rendering it
very dangerous to persons crossing thereon.
We respectfully call the attention Of the
Police Jury thereto that the proper may lie
called TO the fact that the Bayou Blue has
been stopped up. at it's intersection by the
SOuth Western Navigation aud Terrebonne
canal for a distance of about three quarters
of a mile hr the sediments from the water
coming through said canal, where there was
now but six inches thus interfering very
materially with the drainage Of that section
of country covering distance of about six
ty miles.
We thereto call the special attention of
the Police Jury and OF the drainage com
mssioners OF that District. trusting that the
proper measures will be adopted to open out
that nayou.
