Special report of the Louisiana State Engineer to the Legislature regarding a system of internal improvements to create a plan to reduce the Mississippi River to its banks, survey systems to be involved, and other relevant steps. The report concludes, "I would therefore recommend that your honorable bodies request of our members in Congress to exert their influence to cause the Mississippi to be recognized as a national stream. The General Government should also be strongly urged to remove the obstructions placed in the Bayou Lafourche, under orders of General Jackson, in 1814. This Louisiana has a right to demand. It is but little for the United States to give, and it is a great deal for Louisiana to receive, in her present position." The report is addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives, and is signed by Louis Hebert, State Engineer.
