Summary
Inhabitants of the Parish of St. James object to a bill now pending in the General Assembly. The bill will close Bayou Plaquemines, which will inflict "serious and lasting injury upon all the lower parishes of the State." The resolution asserts that "the closing of any of the natural outlets of the Mississippi cannot fail, by raising the levee of said river, increasing the rapidity of its current, and augmenting the pressure thereof against our levees, to cause crevasses and consequent inundations of our lands."
Note
Resolution signed: Victor J. Forstall, President. Followed his letter (dated Parish of St. James, Feb. 23, 1858) addressed to Hon. Emile Locoul, State Senate.
