New Iberia, La. May 6, IA.
TO the Honorable Police Jury OF
iberia Parish: 1i'tl ~
Gentlemen-I am sorry to be
obliged again to protest against
the proposed Salt Mine Road and
! the report of your committee (whe
are all switch owners and if yon
touch only one spike off their
switch you won't have no more
committee) but to justify myself
and for the benefit of the major
itv Of the people l am forced to
do so. l ~
The first part, Of their report
claimed that they have the right
of-way all along the proposed
road except a certain place known
as Curtis switch, such report is
not in accord with the true state
ment Of facts, as they havn't got |
the right-of-way with Oscar
Derouen and Mr.. Delcambre.
those parties don't want to sell
and much less give the right-ot-
way, and there are others who are
willing Ia sell, but not to give. as
far as I can see they have very
few except the6r own. i am sat.
isfied that it will be cheaper for
the Parish to have the old road
fixed and drained. than to build
that new road and still have to
maintain the old ONE
What / ask of your Honorable
Body is justice to all, and per-
sonal benefit to none, if YOU want
