To the Honorable Police Jury of St.
Tammany Parish, State of Lou
isiana.
The petition of the owners of prop
erty on, and users Of the road known
as the River" road, and that part
of said road beginning near Mr.. Peter
Jenkins place and thence west al
most to it's junction with the Colum-
bia and Covington road, asking that
the Police Jury do not allow this part
of said road to be closed or aban-
doned, as there are several public
nroperties on it, consisting of the
nublic school, 5th ward polling booth
and property belonging to the Meth
odist church. The Tabernacle prop
arty. which is used regularly for
church and Sunday school, and sew
eral private properties. some of which
are town lots, have been much i'm
nroyed to suit the road and streets,
therefore the closing of this road
would be a great damage to the prop
erty owners on. and users Of. this
road.
