New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1852-12-11

against the petition Of the NcwOrleans and
Jackson Railroad Company, for the opening and
widening of Calfope street and the right Of way
through Claiborne street to the Third District
Tie expense of opening these streets would fall
heavily on the City Treasury, and without any
necessity therefor. Had the Board Of Direct rs
of this company consulted the interests Of the
stockholders and taxpayers Of the city Of New
Orleans, the depot of the company would have
been placed in some more central point, and on
streets large enough for all the business Of the
road. ~,
For these reasons your committee recommend
that the prayer Of the petitioners be refused,
and the committee be discharged from the fur
Their consideration of the subject. 9gsy
