rectiun in and across said Town; that the
volume of water thus flowing from the terri
tory of the Parish north of said town is at
times very large, and ordinarily larger than
the present drains of the town can receive;
that in order to relieve the situation the
authorities OF said town propose TO dig a
ditch along the Northern line of the Cor
porate limits Of said town, starting from the
public road opposite the Roy Brick Factory,
on the east side of said road, on the division
line between the Mudd Addition and the
land of John &. Buchanan, and continuing
in an ~easterly direction up to The public
road near the northeast corner of said town
dividing the Mud plantation and the land
of the Gerac estate and leading from Lafay-
cite to Breaux Bridge: that SAID town
authorities propose to continue said ditch,
if allowed to do so by this Honorable body
on the north side of the public road leading
from LAFAYETTE TO Breaux Bridge where i,
ad;oins the plantation of Mrs. p. "A. Gail
lone, of Antoine Beilemin and of Fred
Webb no to the coulee running across said
nublic road and which drains in Bayou Yer
million.
Also to cross said public road with said
ditch at the corner of the property of the
Gerac estate and 10 continue on the east
side of said road where it adlolns the land
of the Gerac estate and to continue on the
east side of said road where it adjoins the
land OF the Gerac estate, a distance of about
one acre up to the corporation limits, with
! the view of continuing said ditch along said
road on the east side where it adjoins the
Gerac estate, now a public street OF said
town in a Southerly direction to some point
where it will Maturity drain to Bayou Yer
| million.
That the town authorities of said town
propose to make those bitches six feet wide
and Of sufficient depth to draw the water.
It is believed that the proposed improve
ment will be of great benefit to the popuia-
ton of this town, and incidentally to the
property owners north OF said town and will
he an advantage to the proper drainage OF
the pnblic road leading to said town from
the North, and as this improvement be
done in the method proposed without the

proposition is submitted to your considera-
ton, with the hope that you will permit it.
