ceedings since the last lug oil this Council. |

MT. DfuSniens, from the same committee offered
the following minority report and resolution
The undersigned, minority of a committee to
whom was referred the application of John S.
Crockett, to erect cotton pickery on Orange
street, between Religious and Tchoupitoulas sts.,
reports that he is unwilling to grant permanent
permss on for the same, for the following reasons,
viz:
lst. That the erection Of cotton picke:y at
at the place named prevents all the owners adjon-
ing in the immediate vicinity from improving their
vacant property, account of the great and con-
| stant danger to which the buildings would be ex-
posed.
I'd. That the rate of insurance on all the ad.
joining property would be materially increased.
3D. That the injury complained Of by the own
ers Of property in the neighborhood would be per-
manent, and exist until the pickery was removed.
4th. hat the owner cannot complain Of this OBJ
lection as OF recent origin, he having known Of it
for several years past.
The undersigned would therefore offer the fol.
lowing.
CLAUDE BRueN,ENs,
ResotUed, That the cotton picksry lately erected
by J. >. Crockett on Orange street, between Reli.
gous and Tchoupitoulas streets, be allowed to re-
main until the 1st Of September, 1852.
