Remarks which will contain the reason why the Parish Authorities fail to provide for their own destitute:
The cases whose names are herein mentioned are from personal observation and from the Report of the President of the Police Jury, are in a state of destitution from causes of disability, and the Parish is unable to support their own destitute.
