bridge.
This strip of country is peopled by
fishermen and trappers, whose lots do
not appear to be more chan 90 10 20
feet in depth from the road on the
front to the marsh in the rear. We
smoke to several of these people in
regard to the proposed road and they
replied that they did not want Il road,
~ yheu tn wanted to travri they
simply STEPPED across The road lni"
their boats. We dId not see d sing lie
vehicle at the homes Of any Of these
people below the bridge.
We were firmly convinced, as we
have already stated, that IL would be
a useless waste Of money to construct
a model road on this narrow strip OF
land below the bridge. but if there are
members of the Police Jury VINO differ
with US, then we suggest that the en-
tire Jury be appointed Il COMMITTEE IT,
visit this road, and We feel sure after
doing so that they will cOiue to the
same conclusion tnat We have
