To the President and Members Of the.
Police Jury:
Gentlemen: We, your committee APP
pointed to ascertain which would be
the most acceptable road, to the largest
number of people, to be graveied, lead
ing from the City of Opelousas, to the
toWnsite Of LawtelL, beg leave to say,
that after due deliberation we recon-.
mend the following road, namely:
BeeiA at Louis Christ's and gravel
the Prairie Ronde road leading west as
far as the old Armas Durio gin, thence
south to intersect the Opelousas and
Mallet road at Simon Guillory's S. w.
corner, thence south to Ernest De-
jeans S. E. corner, thence west via
S. j. Gosselin's, to J.. A. McClelland's
place thence south to j. A. McClellands
S. E. corner, thence west to the S. w.
corner ofthe townsite of LaWtell.
This, in our opinion, would facilitate
the largest number of people from the
various neighbofhoods adjacent to Law
tell; and hence we advise that the
above described road be graveled.
Respectfully submitted,
Signed: ADOLPHE GUILLORY,
