make certain recommendations to
you, relative to the Centreville Bank
and the sureties upon that banks
bond, beg to recommend as follows:

full cancellation of the banks debt
to said Road District No. 2; that the
Police Jury should compromise with
the sureties on the bond by accept
ing from each surety the sum of
1880 in cash or by taking judgment
against each surety for the said sum
Of $1,000, with interest at sec per
annum thereon from date of judg
ment, in full settlement of the OBJ
legation of each surety.

contingent upon the Police Jury's |
getting the absolute title to the col
