other public vehicles have been kept under better
regulations during the past rear than a. any
previous period The Mayor now recommends.
in a message submitted to the Common Coun-
ell on SATURDAY. evening, that private vehicles,
especially in Broadway aad otier crowded
streets may be required to pass to the right
and that buildings, materials, &c. be not al
lowed to cucumber the crowded streets, as at
present aud also that sidewalks be Planked
over for the accommodation OF pedestrians while
undergoing excavation for the construction 0.
vaults. These with other suggestions from his
Honor, if carried into effect, will do much to ia
ciHtate travel in Broadway. The following Is the
MAYORS MESSAGE
MAYcR'5 O7rteE. Nov. o, 1870.
7ome Honorable tie Common c'7Hea Of The CITY Of A''
GLSTfrYEE. The natural position Of this island,
and the course and direction Of It's streets and ave
rues are such as to concentrate large portion oi
its trayel in a single street-Broadway- and par
ticuarv in the lower part OF II, winch las become
so crowded and thronged with carriages and vent
cles of every description as to require some addl-
tional facilities or better regulation Tor the COM
fort and convenience Of passengers.
Orders have heretofore been issued, prohibiting
carts, hacks and other carriages from standing IN
this part OF Broadway except as long as may De
necessary for loading or unloading and the taking
in or letting out passengers also, prohibiting
stages from taking upor setting down passengers
exCeDt on the right hand side OF the way, and re-
curing them to keep the night side OF the street
in passing each other but while stages are kept
to the right, private carts and carriages 90 not
conform to this rule, by reason OF which the regu-
lation as to stages in this particular IS rendered,
in a great measure, useless. To remedy TINS In.
convenience an ordinance OF the Common Council
is required providing that not only stages but all
other carriages shall keep to tie right hand side
OF the street and to go to the right passing each
other.
Another evil complained of is caused by large
piles OF brick and otherobstructions, placed IN the
street and suffered to remain there III many IN
stances for months together, while old buildings
are taken own and new ones are IN the course
Of construction. This may be remeded by an
ordinance requiring that all the old materials,
earth and rubbish intended to be removed from
the buildings taken down, shall be removed from
the street fast as tine same are deposited there,
and that all the materials not removed be depos
tied on the premises where they belong That
all new materials required to- buildings gong up
shall be brought there from day TO day, as the
buildings progress and as the same are wanted for
their completion.
Frequent complaints have also been made OF
the manner In which foot passengers have been
incommoded during the Tho construction OF Taglts
