   The following committee was appointed to review and lay out a new road from 
the Tan Yard Bridge on Coushatta Bayou to the cut off, or in that vicinity: C.

   FERRY ROUTE -- We the undersigned citizens of the town of Coushatta and 
vicinity respectfully represent that the public ferry across Red River at 
Coushatta has been unnecessarily moved a mmile down the river to the great 
inconvience of all public travel and great detriment to the town of Coushatta 
and those vitally interested. They aver that the contract for the said ferry 
was clearly for the ferry to be across the river in front of the town of 
Coushatta, and they pray that same be replaced to that point and kept there. 
Respectfully submitted, T. H. TERRY, L. P. STEPHENS, A. GILHAM, T. J. 
FLETCHER, BOYISTON McGOLDRICK, L. E. SCHEEN, L. M. HOWARD, M. A. COCKERHAM, A. 
S. PERRY, J. E. JENNIGAN, HENRY HIGHTOWER, M. H. BOSLEY, W. B. CLARK, W. H. 
SCHEEN, O. T. WEBB, E. S. STOTHART, J. D. HARPER, MARX JACKSON, J. C. EGAN, 
SAM PINCUS, T. J. BRITAIN, I. A. JONES, PAUL LISSO, JR., J. C. PUGH.
   On motion, duly seconded, MAJOR JOHN NARSTON, ED LISSO and CAT. SELBY were 
appointed a committee to confer with a committee from town council relative to 
the above petition.
