Then the Police Jury adjourned until
o'clock A. 51.
At 3 o'clock P. M. the Police Jury met,
Pi*sent as before.
The following report of the committee on
the Island cut-off road, is presented and adopt
ed, to wit :
• To Ihe Honorable, the Polite Jury oftht Parith of Ibtrville:
Your umlcrblgnctl, a committee appointed by your honora
lilr I iim I v , at its last scrsiun in Juno, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the pro|wiety of making a cut-off road
h .' HH * the point,.known as Iberville Poiut, from the "Is
land'' to that part of the Parish, known as "Manchac;" to
examine the various localities wiiere »aid road may pass-,
to estimate the cost of making the same, to ascertain how
much of said cost can be raised by private subscription; to
determine and fix upon the best locality for said Road,
und generally to report to your- honorable body, all mat
tors lu relation to said Road, to the end that the same may
be made—have the honor to submit the following K eport :
Yunr committee have discharged the duties imposed upon
them by the Police Jury; and after diligent and careful in
vestigations » id examination, they report that in their
opinions saitl It oad should be !»ld off from the "Island to
IHaucbac'' upon the lands of Lucien Guedry at the Island
and coming out upon the other side at and upon the lands
of 31ad. Ve. Joly and the heirs of Ursin Joly and Doctor
Trasiinond Dupuy, and the heirs and late widow of Luc.
Lesassier, for the following reasons: Bccause it is the
Shortest aud most direct route for said road—because it cuts
off no lands, that is to say runs through no one's laud, but
goes through upon direct lines aud bccause this in thcopin
ion of your couiraittce can be made for the least price; and
because it there cuts off the most travel.
Your committee think that said Road can be purchased
and made for the sum of one thousand five hundred dollars,
$1500, Or thereabouts, and thai of this sum five hunnred to
one thousand dollars can be eas>' ' obtained by private sub
scription in money or labor, perhaps a still larger sum
than the last named, depending upon the locality of the
Road. Your commtitee would rocommend tiiat the said
Road be constructed as cheaply as post ible, so as to make
it always passable for carriage' and all ordinary travel, and
to this end recommend that over the sf/ampy portions of
the Road, trees be cut down and laid ac oss said road from
ditch to ditch and covered with the dirt thrown from the
ditches upon either side—thus the road will be at but a
small expense, rendered permanently good at but a trifling
annual repair. Your committee further rccommcnd that
your honorable body pass t>n ordinance making it the doty
ofall inhabitants within five 'es of sei« roaii (upon the
same side of the river) and upon the Missis ippi to work an
nually upon said road, and that yo.ir honorable body ap
point a Commissary of said road annually, to be known as
"Commissary of the Island cut-off road" whose duty it shall
always be to keep said road in repairs.
Your committee congratalate themselves and their fellow
citizens.gcnerally that your honorable body hnd at last
moved in this important matter.
Tbc making of this road is one of the very last impor
tance to fie lower portion of the Parish upon the left bank
«fthe river—a work tlintshouldbe made at once, nay your
<coiumittce will add that it is a work that should have been
made long sin;e. Of its very great importance, your com
mittee feel that it is hardly necessary for them to speak, as
all of the members of your honorable body are intimate
with the locality—it' interests and necessities—still they
feel tbat to the flill discharge of tbeir duties it is proper
that they present to the Police Jury some of the many
reasons, that command the immediate construction of the
road.
The construction of this road, will cut off over seven
miles of travel, and will tend tobring nearer to each other
<be lower and upper portion of the Parish of Iberville; it
will facilitate bonds, which now hanp but loosely upon the
(«land, for your committee are of opinion that unless this
road be constructed, the Island portion of the Parish will
make a successful application at the coming session of the
Legislature, to join the Parish of Ascension.
It will bring the lower portion of the Island—now fre
quently an Island in more ihan the name—to a closer prox
imity to the seat of justice of the parish. Tt will enable its
citizens to attend their church, from which tiiey are now
cutoff by distance of travel, and the almost constant bad
slate of the roads. It will be a positive advantage to over
five hundred of the citizens of the parish; and it will be a
great advantage to all ordinary travel, and facilitate com
munication. Your committee are of option, that, in the
cnS, by the construction of i-ïia road,the parish will be the
gainer., as they estimate that over two hundred dollars, as
an average sum, will be saved to the paris U treasury annu
ally, aud this for the fees end mileage of she.iff, constable,
and other judicial officers; the mileage of persons, te. —
This should receive a g eat consideration from your honor
able body. The inhabitants of the puitii of Iberville, from
the church of St. Gabriel to the tower line, have paid the
assessed parish tax into the parochial treasnry for the past
forty-five years, a od during all of tUis time have never re
ceived back, by way of appropriatio n, one single dollar!—
• They have seen other portions of the parish improved,
roads maue, and interaal improvements effected, while they
themselves, from the church to the lower line of the parish,
have never received one dollar for any appropriation
whatcvor. lour committee suggest therefore that the
granting of this necessary appropriation would lie bot a
mere act of jnstice to this portion of the parish.
In conclusion, your committee urge most strongly and in
the most emphatic manner, the absolute utility and necessi
ty of this cut-off road, aud urge in like manner its immedi
m * "»"«troction, and to this end suggest that your honora
■ t>ic b«ty appoint three commissioners, clothed will füll pow
A.
ery
crs to makc^said road, and that the necessary appropriation
be made for the purpose. They are further of opinion that
if the police jury provide the laud, pay for tile right of
way, and build the necessary bridges, that the balance of
the work can all be done by private subscription. They
feel that they could say much more in relation to this road,
but believe that it is unnecessary, thinkiug that they have
already discharged the duties devolved upon them by the
resolution of your houorable body at Its lust session, though
they feel deeply impressed with the importance of those
duties, involving in their discharge perhaps, interests so
vital to their fellow citizens, whom they ineasurely repre
sent. Your committee cannot however close this report,
without saying one word in relation to what is generally
regarded a delicate»*» - ..Iter; they allude to an additional tax,
trilling and insignircunt though it be, to coine from the
pockets of the people, for the purpose of Constructing this
road. They understand that a certain portion of the pa
rish, less interested immediately in this road, oppose its
construction, upon this grounds tfhey trust that this is not
the fact. They trust that no portion of the parish, especial
ly a portion that has been so large a recipient Of State and
parish patronage, can now be guilty of such penny wisdom
and pound folly; and least of all they trust that 110 member
of your body will obstruct this the legitimate expenditure
of buta very small portion of the public funds, did the law
permit partial parochial taxation. Your undersigned com
mittee feel confident that the whole sum necessary to build,
make and permanently establish this road, could be raised
without an objection from the tax paying population upon
the left bank of the river. But this, it is hoped, the honor of
the remainder of their fellow citizens would forbid. All
of which is respectfully submitted.
