subject of removing the Eastern steamboats, to Pike
street, that ii is dangerous for the piers to be in the
control OF the Common Council. Why does not the

rapid sound steamers, they dark among them on
their way to the North River. These steamers in
foggy weather, or high winds, every morning come
