To the President and Members
bers of the Parish Board of
School Directors of st. Lam
dry Parish, La.
Gentlemen:
Your committee appointed to
report on the status Of the title
to the property now occupied as
the site of the st. Landry HIGH
School at Opelousas, La, re-
spectfully beg to submit the fol-
lowing as their report covering
that subject:
We obtained the original act
of sale to the property wherein
it was conveyed to the Board
OF Police of the town Of Opelou-
sas. We submitted this act of
sale to Mr.. r. L. Garland. attor-
ney OF this Board for his opin-
ion. His advice was that the
title was vested in the city of
Opelousas, but that the property
or the proceeds arising there
from could only be used by the
city for public school purposes:
that the city could only dispose
OF the property by virtue of a
special Act of the legislature au-
thorizing it to do SO, and he adj
vised that a bill to that effect be
presented to the legislature at
its next session for enactment.
Respectfully submitted,
J. A. PERKINS,
Fl. d. LARCADE.
