your nOnOraD4o DoQy In regard TO the
public road of Bayou Liberty to the
postofice or Bayou Paquet. This
public road proposed from Bayou
Liberty to the postoface or Bayou
PaQuet is mostly a private one which
does not join any public road.
We propose for your consideration
a public road from the public route
passing near Bayou Liberty, viz:
Station Bonfouca, to connect with
the public road from Slidell to Bon
fOuca.
The citizens of Bonfou|ca, would
provide with a ferry to cross the
Bayou and in this way make a
straight road from Bonfouca to Sill
dell. This much coveted cutoff
would be more far7reaching in its
effects, for it would meet the de-
mands of a greater number of peo-
pie and rebound to the credit of your
honorable body and the undersigned
citizens, who are circulating this pc
tition.
Yours very respectfully,
GEORGE GALATAS.

We are seldom ruined by
great passions, for their danger
is too clear, and when the dis
position is naturally good, all
its resources are employed
against them. and it triumphs
over their allurements; but we
never sufficiently distrust

that seem to us totally harmless
and which gradually influence
our conduct and lead us into
great danger.
