Thibodaux, La., August. 9tU. 1882. The following report ot the President was submitted and duly received. Thibodaux, La., Aug. 9, 1882. To the Police Jury: Gentlemen.—I have called the Jury to gether for the transaetiou of such jbusiucss as may properly came before it. Since ihe last meeting of this body there have been two cases of Small Pox in Priuee Murphy's house, ooe half mile iu rear of Thibodaax. This is the same house in which were four cases during the spring. I have bad them confined at home, a yel low flag placed in front of the house, and furnished them with such food and medi cines as were considered necessary. The cases are now about recovered. The principal business to which I wish to call your attention is to enact laws by which good publi c roads can be had through •ttt this Parish, in the future. I herewith place before you the decision of the Supreme Court in a test case sent, up from the Parish ot Terrobonne which will enable you to see more fully the pow ers that you may be invested with. In framing any road laws there is one point that will require alteration. The pub lie road leading from the Bayou Lafourche to the Taylor or Cross plantation, the pub lie road leading from the Brulee Guillot Settlement, the public road leading from the corporate limits of the Town of Tliibo daux to the line separating the 'Parishes of Latourclie and Terrebonne on the West side of Bayou Terrebcuno : the public roail leading from Bayou Lafourche, through the Mathews plantation to the settlements in the rear of said plantation, are not, by any construction, under the care of ai'ja cent land owners. 1 am of the impression that it would be wise policy to sell the care of those roads, either at public auction, or Un written hills, for the space of one or more years, t'o the lowest bidder. This -will prove more satislactory than to attempt to keep them by any other method. 1 am informed, that a good, passable road for carts and buggies can be made from the settlements on the Malagay and Bumf Bayous to the public road on Coteau Folse tor $150.00 oi less. The opening of such a road would be of great convenience and usefulness, and its im portance should demand, at least au investi gation by this body. I also hand you for your guidance a copy of Act No. 104 of the Legislature of 1382 being Amendatory ot Act Na. 80 of lsso, in refer cnee to the preservation and protection of the public Levees in this Parish This Act will require your serious consideration. The ex perience of the past six months should teach us to be prepared for the luture. I also call your attention to ihe condition of the jail lot . lne fences around the same ar(J becoming dilapidated, presenting anything but a beautiful back ground to our Court House square, now tlie finest iu the State. The jailors house is barely tit for occupation It would be well to inangurato measures looking to a thorough rcuewal of both house and fencing. Trusting that your deliberations may be characterised by harmony and good will I re main Respectful It. (Signed) K. T. OK13AMORE, President. A communication from Mr. Glynn, presi " ' - • - 'i of Point dent of the Police Jury of the Parish Coupee, calling for assistance to build the Fatain Diko, was duly read and laid orer.
