PARISH OF LAFAYETTE, Nov. l, 'O6.
To the Hon. President and Members of
the Police Jury, Lafayette, La:
We the undersigned tax payers and
residents of the Parish do hereby petit
ton for your consideration the fol-
lowing important matter relative to
the building Of a bridge across the
bayou at some point in the Eighth
Ward. It is or will be brought before
your Honorable Body the question of
building this bridge at the ElOie Brous-
sard crossing. We respectfully wish
to state and petition that the bridge
be built at some other point which
would divide the distance more equal
ly between Pin Hook and Milton and
thereby be of greater convenience to a
greater number of the people. The
point to be selected where a public
road could join the parallel roads on
each side of the Bayou, already ex-
listing, and at comparatively short
distance. one from the other.
The site of the bridge should be east
of John Whittington's place and would
then be about in line between YOungs-
vile and Scott. Otherwise, it would
not be On any direct road to either
point Or any other town or station, |
and would only serve the convenience
of a few neighbors and not the public
at large as we'll al the service to the
town of Lafayette.
