Mr.. Chas. D. Caffery, upon behalf
of the signers thereof, presented tho
following petition, wDlcn was read.
To the Honorable Police Jury of the
Parish of Lafayette, louisiana
The undersigned citizens and tax
payers of the Second Ward OF salt
parish respectfully show that the
working of the public roads of said
ward by the committee of seventeen
| appointed to handle the special ia,
fund of said ward is altogether salts
factory to them.
They emphatically assert and chal-
! lenge investigation in regard thereto
that the said committee has done
good work and has built good roads
that the money has beenhonestly and
| economically administered, and if the
| Police Jury have any regard for the
public interest in the Second Ward
| of Lafayette parish they will keep
the committee OF seventeen in full
POWER and let them work the roads
as they have been doing.
That the money allotted to said
ward before the voting Of said special
tax and before the existence of the
committee Of seventeen was squan-
dered in such a way that the public
got little or no benefit.
They insist upon the original agree
ment being carried out, which was
understood by all taxpayers, including
the members of the Police Jury, that
the people through this committee of
seventeen should have control of the
special tax and all other road funds,
the Police Jury only to have control
Of the drainage and bridge fund of
that ward.
They therefore protest against any
change of the above arrangement as
being a breach Of good faith and over
riding the will Of the people in order
from the Second Ward.
Respectfully submitted,
