Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Adopts Roads and Tax Measures
The December 1871 sessions of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury approve ordinary expenses and a four mill ad valorem tax on real and personal property for 1871. They ordain road changes from Lake Charles to Kyosh’s Coulee, from Niblett’s Bluff to Alexandria, and a pleted route to Bundick’s Creek with appointed commissioners. Overseers gain power to deputize workers, and surplus funds from unbranded stock sales are set to fund bridges on the Vincent Settlement road.
