TO the President and Members of the Board of .f1ae, md
Of the Board Of Assistant .fiiamen Of The City, New
it my duty to call your attention to
the necessity of providing two vehicles for the ranspor
taton of the prisoners from tie various Sationhouses
the City Jail and Work house namely for the
val Of those from the First and Fourth and another from
the Second and Third Districts Apart from the
preference to walking the prisoners frequently in irons
through the streets they would also afford great relief
to the Police eDepartmentnasmucha under the present
system it requires that several policemen should be de-
tailed during the day to act persons com
mitted to the Work house and the Jail
There at present in the Work house of the Second
District twelve destitute insane and the evil
connected with the detention of this class of persons so
garng that am compelled to direct your attention to
the absolute necessity OF providing either for their
val to the Asylum at Jackson have before
mended Of making an arrangement with the Hospital
other establishment for the temporary reception of
those afflicted with mental disease they can secure
admission into the State Institution.
recent visit to the Parish Prison has satisfied me that
the establishment although kept in excellent order and
with most commendabc degree of cleanliness is in many
respects in dilapidated condition requiring Immediate
and pressing repairs would call your particular aten
on to the urgency of this matter trusting that it NAV
be acted upon without delay
Some three or four years since Common street was
opened to the intersection of the New Canal and has
been sheled at considerable expense to the city
the property owners that thoroughfare But neither
the latter nor the community had derived any material
advantage from this improvement n consequence of the
failure to construct bridge the Canal and would
recommend therefore the early adoption of such steps as
will secure this desirable connection.
Complaints have been made to that the lower por-
ton of the Levee in the Fourth District is encountered
by persons owning tave yards which ntcrferes the
discharging and loading Of vessels and
annoyance to people transactng business there would
recommend that be taken to the removal
of this obstruction
