The Police Jury then adjourned until the fol-
lowing morning.
Wednesdays Session.
The Police Jury met pursuant to adjournment,
with all members present at the last roll call in
their respective places.
The following petition was presented and its
request granted:
To the Honorable Police Jury Bossier Parish La
The undersigned has recently purchased from
the Hunter-McComick Realty Company all of the
Cumberland Subdivision. On having his attorney
examine the title to same, it was reported to him
that the map of the subdivision there is written
across block H to words "Court House,
Now, as a matter of fact, these words mean
nothing on the map and were not dedication for a
court house, since Bossier City not and never has
been the parish site of Bosser Parish. If it was
intended for dedication, the Police Jury has not
accepted, and could not accept it, because there
could be no court house in Bossier City. And, in
any event, the original owners by selling the prop
erty, including block H, have shown that they
never intended any dedication.
Now, while the Police Jury and the Parish of
Bossier have no interest whatever in block H, the
words "Court House Square, written across said
map throws cloud on my title, and, while l could
easily remove it by suit, much prefer to ask your
honorable body to pass formal resolution declar-
ing that you have no interest in the property.
| respectfully request that you take this action,
which is manifestly Just one and one which will
be highly appreciated by me.
Respectfully yours,
FELIX WELLER.
