continuation of Linwood avenue,
placed on your schedule to be con-
verified into a gravel road; each and

for good thoroughfare to be made
down this road. 1t has not had any

view of making a report at your

Caddo Parish, La: I beg to submit
that l have examined the petition
of citizens and voters of Cedar
Grove asking that polling precinct
be established at Cedar Grove,
which petition was presented at
your last meeting and referred to
me for an opinion.
Act 1872 of 1900 vests police juries
with the power to establish polling
precincts, and as many such pre-
cincts and polling places as may be
necessary. You, therefore, have le-
gal right to establish a polling pre-
cinct in Cedar Grove, if you find
same necessary, provided your ac-
ton in establishing said polling pre-
cinct be published in the official
proceedings of your honorable body.
Respectfully, w. A. MARRY,
District Attorney.

ferred to Thurber and Nagle as to
