*566Prior report: La.App., 498 So.2d 38.

Denied. Result is correct.

Concurring Opinion

DIXON, C.J.,

concurs in the denial only because the result is correct. The courts below erred as to the boundary between the parishes. The thread of the river as it was when the parish boundaries were fixed by the legislature remains the boundary between the parishes. Parish of Caddo v. Parish of Bossier, 164 La. 378, 113 So. 882 (1927).

CALOGERO, J., would grant the writ.
