Washington, La, Sept. %, 1911.
The Hon. Pres. and Members
Police Jury, Of the Parish of
St. Landry, in Regular meeting
assembled.
Gentlemen:
The report sent from this town
to the New Orleans papers of Sun
day, September %, to the effect
that the citizens residing here
and along Bayou Courtableau and
contiguous streams would have
no objection to the proposed dix
ing Of that stream in connection
with the dredging and locking of
the Bayou Teche, as proposed, if
assured that the work would not
lessen and endanger the supply
of water for the Union Irrigation
Canal, and that they would be
content to let Mr.. J. Franklin
Schell, the builder of that canal,
decide that question in conference
with the State Engineer, does
not correctly represent the views
of the citizens of this section and
parish. They are unalterably
opposed to the placing of the pro-
posed Instructions in the Bayou
CourtabIeau, and will in due time
formulate their objection to the
proposed work, and communicate
them to the Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors, Wash
ington, D. c..
Their objections are entirely
independent of the effect that the
proposed public work would have
upon the supply of water for the
|Schell Canal.
A communication has this day
been forwarded to said Board,
giving notice of their objection,
and which will be followed up by
petitions and protests filed by re-
sidents on the streams to that
effect.
In further protest, we respect
fully request that the Hon. Police
Jury endorse our action and pass
such other resolutions as they
may deem proper against the
damning of Bayou CourtabIeau
which would be of great injury to
this section of the State.
Should this meet with your
favorable action, we would kindly
request that you forward copy of
your resolutions to the Board of
Engineers for Rivers and Har-
.bors, No. 307-10 Colorado Bldg,
