The Opelousas courier., 1894-03-24

locality the act is obscure. In the French text
'ou" follows Carabine and might give rise to a
choice between bayou BGuf and Carabine. Blu
"Ou is translated "on" in the English text
"on bayou Beuf." In Hardie's map the Elm
settlements seem to be placed III ftapldes,
though the names are sometimes placed on
maps where most convenient. The mode in
which this act has been carried into effect is
important. AS it respects the Calcasleu boun.
Diary the act seems clear. Ii Calcasieu would
consent, an act of the legislature might be pass
ed to run line with the range line or better I'M
der Act No. 81 OF 1880.
Respectfully, E. I.
See Constitution 1872, Art. 2, Sec, 10.
