lice Jury a petition signed by tax
payers residing within Road Dis

ton being certified by Messrs.

then fifty per cent of the resident

Mr.. Burke called the attention OF
the Police jury to the fact that,
inasmuch as the tax payers of
said Road District appears to be
divided as to the selection of the
proper route for the proposed
gravel road and that funds for
construction are barely sufficient
to bnilt one road, it would be wise
that the Police Jury call special
election within said Road District |
at a future date for the purpose
of ascertaining the sense of the
qualified voters as to voting an adj |
ditional Bond Issue which would |
render the construction of both |
roads possible.
