! conference.-the undersigned respectfully
represent that they engaged in agricu-
( ture ill the section of this Parish known as
the Ndcorie LlVauuais DeiSue, the same De-
lng an interior settlement, that the public
road leading from Bayou Latourche passes
through their said plantation that to keep up
a line of tence on both sides of said public

propose to your honorable body that for and
in consideration of the right and privilege OF
erecting IA gate at the lower extremity OF
their said plantation, they will bind them
selves to ever keep the road throu ehout
their entire front IN perfect order and to
maintain in good order IA light gate, always
in order and easy to open, and calculated to
be of little or no convenience to the travelling
! public.
