To Messrs. Poltevent { Favre, Pearl
ingtoa, Miss:
Gentlemen-At the last meeting
Of the Police Jury Of this Parish .
committee Of three was appointed
to lay ont . public road from the
new bridge on Bayou Lacombe to
intersect the public road from Man
deville to Abita Springs. Said
road has been blazed ont crossing
de Vaudeville railroad switch 1t
barn seven, and intersecting the
Abita Springs and Vaudeville road
1t Beyer's plsce. We find almost
the entire length Of this road is on
your land, and mostly inside the
chopping, (where the timber has
been removed.) We the commit
Tee respectfully ask permission to
open up said road without any
damages being assessed.
Very respectfully,
r. C. ABxEY, Chairman.
Vaudeville, La, Dee. IL, 1892.
TO Capt. John Poitevent, Pearlingtop,
Dear SIR herewith return Mr..
r. C. Abney's letter requesting
permission from the Poitevent 4
Favre Lumber Co. for public road
through their land from Bayou La
Combe to Beyer's place near Abita
Springs.
Iwould suggest that you refuse
TO allow the Parish 70 open said
road. a it would run through your
land about nine miles, and should
You ever want to sell the land for .
pasture, It would make the value
e least ten thousand dollars less
than Il would be without the road
through it. Yours respectfully,
w. G. HUTCHINSON.
Peariington, Miss, Dec. 81, ~.
TO Mr.. K. c. Abney, Covington, La:
Sir-Iu answer to your letter OF
Now 29th, will say that We are
sorry, but cannot grant the per-
mission asked
We expect before long to lease
the land for grazing purposes. II
the public road should be put
through the land, it will certainly
be Q great drawback to any one to
hire i for . pasturage.
Enclosed We return your letter,
md one from Mr.. Hutchison on
this subject. We oppose this road
strongly. Yours respectfully,
