GIBsoN, July, 30. 1896.
To the President and Members of the
Police Jury Of Terrebonne.
WI the undersigned Freeholders APP
pointed by the chairman of the road com.
mittee to investigate and decide which
side of the bayou would be the cheapest
to lay ont a public road On, have this
day met and decided as to cost of clearing
and bridging the road on either side
would cost about the same amount to
commence AZ Chacahoula bayou on the
descending and extend to the Geral-
dine bridge then connect with the public
road at that point or on the left descend
ing from Bayou Black bridge at Gibson
and extending down to the POwhattan
to the point where the old
public bridge used TO be. We find there
would be about ($8O0.O0) Eight Hundred
dollars difference in cost of bridging,
the C%hacahoula bayou and bayou Black
in favOrO OF the bridge across C~haeahOula.
VS. submit this as our report and beg to
be discharged.
