Mr.. Bailey, on behalf Of the Committee on
Streets and Landings, presented the following
report and resolutions, and tfA rules being sus-
| pended, they were read and severally adopted
| The Committee on Streets and Landings, to
whom was referred resolution from the Board
Of Aldermen for makidg plank road on Main
| street. and also on Claiborne street, recommend
to the Board to reject the resolution, the latter
part Of the resolution having been already au-
thorized by this Board, and the former not meet
ing the approval of this committee.
The committee report against the resolution
referred to them for making sidewalks on Frank
| lin and Liberty streets asa
meeting before the last to sell contracts for
making sidewalks in this section, which will alb
sorb more than q proportion of the amount set
apart in the estimates for that description Of
work, and as there are already good plank side
walks on the streets, the necessity for replacing
them at the present time is not, in the opinion
Of the committee, sufficiently strong to justify
the expense to the city. r1, II !

constructing blinds at the Lafayette Market

sums already paid by the city for this improve.
ment.
The committee offer resolution to pay Michl
Hussey, contractor for cleaning the Poydras
Canal, for work performed by him; the compile
ton Of the contract according to the specifca
tons being rendered impossible by the condition
of the Galvez Canal, into which the Poydral
Canal drains.
Upon the letter of Mr.. Blanchard, relative t,
the lines of streets in the rear of the First Dis
trict, asking the adoption by the Council of thu
lines given by himself and predecessors, tn,
committee do not consider the Council have tn
right to alter the directions of the streets 80 Al
ors, do they think it polite to establish sucl
a precedent; if the Surveyors commit errors
they must be responsible for them, as all othe
officers are @.r
The committee consider it necessary tina
some permanent location be established for tn
street lines, and some visible mark placed b,
which all street lines may be known, and whic
marks shall not be altered by the within Of ever
Surveyor who may happen to be elected. 1t
greatly to be regretted that there has Away
existed too much disposition on the part of Sur
veyors to mystify and conceal marks, and whe
. an officer succeeded another he was at a loss I
obtain the necessary information of the oours
| pursued by his predecessor hence the cause Q
so many errors.
The committee recommend the passage of a
ordinance requiring the Surveyor to designat
by square granite blocks Suitably cut) the line
of all streets, and adopted by the Council, frol
which marks all surveys and measurement
shall be taken.
, The committee learn with pleasure that GU
present Surveyor has already ordered blocks I
be cut at the Workhouse for the purpose. The
therefore oferthe following resolutions
