Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Report on Jail and Courthouse
The 1872 73 Calcasieu Parish Police Jury report notes the courthouse is unsuitably small, old, and in disrepair and should be replaced, while the jail is a model of strength, lighting, and ventilation with no prisoners present. It records road overseer appointments, tolls on Bayou Lacassiné ferries, and a plan for a new courthouse with dimensions and construction details. It also covers ordinances on costs in criminal prosecutions, taxes for building, adjournments, and payouts for various public services.
