New Iberia, La. July II, 10.
TO the Hon. President and Mem
bers Of Ahe Police Jury, Parish
of iberia:
Conference.-The your commit
tee appointed to examine the pub
lie road leading to Segura and re
port as to most advisable way to
drain same, respectfully report:
That on Monday, July II, 10,
we examined the locality and
found that in our opinion the
best results would be obtained by
cleaning out or digging a natural
coulee running from the public
road through properties of Messrs.
Segura and that of Landry to
Lake Tasse; and also cutting a
canal through property of Mrs.
Leon Loze along the surveyed by
the Parish surveyor per instruc-
tions of the Police Jury.
In the case the finances Of the
Parish do not permit the cutting
of both of these drains; then the
one through property of Mrs.
Lozc would give the best results
at least cost.
Thc question as to the rights
q the Police Jury to cut through
property of Mrs. Loze was not
considered, as your committee
thought this more of a matter for
the Police Jury to decide.

Hon. l.. A. Moresi, President of
the Police ury:
My dear sir wish to report
to you the existence of two eases
of small pox on Mr.. Ulysse Lam
dry's place, near Segura. Mr..
Landry suspected something
wrong with one of his hands, and
asked me to come out and investi-
gate; which | did and found con
ditions. as above stated.
These two case: were con-
tracted in Erath. La, where the
two families lived until the be-
ginning of this year and where
they have visited lately. The in
fected houses are near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Albert Landry, and
one of the boys that now has small
pox worked in her yard up until
Thursday evening.
| have taken all necessary steps
to stop the spread of the disease,
but would ask that you call your
honorable body in special session
at once. in order to make arrang-
ments with me for the handling
of the outbreak. l dislike to an
noy you every time there is an
outbreak of this kind, but it is
owing to the recent ac
ton of your body in reducing my
salary. without my knowledge or
consent, to a figure far below
