Dear Sir:
At this writing Bayou Teche is COM
Dletely jammed from bank to bank with a
old and compact mass Of water hyaCinths
md transportation right now is being SER
ously interfered with. in fact the small
,oats cannot make their way through this
,rOwth, and it is feared that by the grind
ng season navigation will he completely
blocked for every kind Of craft.
In the writer's opinion the only relief
hat can be had al this time is that bOoms
'e used, following the movement Of the
yacinths up with the tide and in this way
uHning them out Of the stream. The
rowth Is fully six weeks earlier than we
ave had it in any previous year, and with
mother possible two months before frost
he damage might be far reaching.
resolution from your body to Major
)ent will no doubt get some action.
Yours very truly,
E. G. TAYLOR.
There being no further business be-
ore the meeting, same on motion du-
y seconded and carried, adjourned. ,
CHAS N FROST, President.
