We the Citizens Of this

that is now under consideration to
allow us to propose q route, which
we believe, to be the most appropri-
ate and Frscticxl wRy for the con-
venience Of the general public. the
leave Black River at the Holmes
Place thence Southeast course ia
Horse Shoe Lake, thence following
the lake on East to Monterey. The
greatest and most expense to this
route would be bridging the Cross
Coccdria Bayou but even this we be-
lieve viii be cheaper in the saving ir
grading and keeping up the road thar
any other way, besides this cuts OF
"a loop. making it nearer distance out
to the main towns Of Ferriday, Vidalia
and Natchez, Miss. and even times Of
an over flow this route is passablt
longer than any other dirt way, fol
all the people of the 10th. Ward ant
a great many of the 9th. We do be.
Ilieve this route to give greater service
to the public than any other proposed
route. AS it will serve more people.
Gentlemen these facts we ask fol
your careful consideration, and sub
hitting same to your honors.
