Engineer Tippenhauer measures the market square of Croix des Bossales

Haitian

Lively market on Friday and Saturday, much frequented by the inhabitants of the Arcahaie. On 4 September 1890, the Market square was measured by the engineer G. Tippenhauer. The E. side, following the alignment of the rue du Quai, measures 25 m 20; the S. side measures 59 m 62; the W. side measures 25 m 20; the N. side, following the alignment of the rue Tiremasse, measures 59 m 62. Four stone boundary markers were set to determine the Market square. The surface area comes to 1,502 m 40 (Moniteur of 26 March 1892).

Rouzier tells this under the entry Croix des Bossales (la).
