ria:
Gentlemen-In regard to MAX
ing survey for a proposed leve"
to protect the Parish of Iberia
from the overfows of the Atchaf-
alaya River, which survey was
authorized by your President, !
submit the following report:
The survey was begun on Oct
2Sth, 1913, at point where the
survey made by st. Martin Par
ish, (for the same purpose) end
ed, that is at Bayou Portage.
From this point the line ran on
what was considered the best 10
cation, so as to miss the lower
swamps, and also take in and re
claim as much of the lands of the
Parish as possible, without max
ing this project too expensive. or
to be more explicit as to the To-
cation. Beginning at Bayou
Portage, thence in Southeastern
ly direction to public road to
Dauterive Lake about 1000 feet
west of this Lake, thence South to
Lake Fausse Pointe, thence along
Lake Fausse Pointe at distance
of from 300 to 900 feet from the
Lake to Bayou Loisel or Petit Ba-
you, thence South to Public Road
leading from Jeanerette to Lake
Dauterive, at which point the
survey was ended, as this is near
the Parish boundary line and
from this point the survey can be
closed so as to protect the Par
ish, or if desired to be continued
in St. Mary Parish can be taken
up by that Parish and continued.
The highest water marks Of At
chafalaya River waters were
found to be five feet high. the
lowest six inches.
The distance surveyed was IL
miles and seven-tenths of a mile.
The line was we'll marked by
blazing trees along this line. so
that it's location can be identified
on the ground. The distance Civ
en- is a proximate, as this distance
was stepped instead of measured,
the question of distance not being
so important, and by getting ap-
proximately there was saving in
the cost of this survey. The
above report covers the matter of
this survey and is submitted to
your Honorable Body.
Very respectfully,
V. P. GUILFOUX,
Parish Surveyor.
