show that in addition to being thus
covered with water at certain points.
the road is full of swails and very un :
even, owing to the conformation OF the
bayou bank. In substance, they say
that the road as it is at present
amounts to practically no road at all.
They show that the east side OF the
bayou at CharentOn is thickly settled;
that the CharentOn Lumber Co., is
operating a sawmill at the Lake shore,
and that a very valuable swapping
trade is carried on with the territory
across Grand Lake at this point. maxi
ing it extremely important that safe,
adequate and convenient road be
provided, as above described.
For these reasons they pray that
your Honorable body appoint a jury
of freeholders, as provided by law, to
lay off said road, under the directions
of an ordinance to be passed for that
purpose by your Honorable body.
Respectfully submitted.
