view of sfIordng relief to Broadway, held another
meeting Yesterday afternoon in the City Library at
which Mr.. Isaac Newton and other gentlemen inter-
ested in steamboat lines were present and expressed
their decided opposition to the proposed project
memorial, signed by about 900 prominent ship-own'
ers merchants cartmen, owners of steamboats, and
Others, was presented to the Committee. The memo
saists say they have heard with surprise and alarm
thatthe Common Council have under consideration
resolution proposing to remove the North River and
Sound steamers from their present landing places and
they would demonstrate against the contemplated
measure because the interests of every class OF buS-
ness would be seriously nterfered with and merchants
and freighten suffer great Inconvenience thereby
HE daily receipt and delivery OF freight by our own
merchants to and from all these lines would necessarily
be retarded and the expense attending the con-
sderably increased. The transit Of merchandise for
The South and West through the city would involve
additional charge and delay. The streets through
which these goods pass or cross would DO inconven
entity crowded The accommodation afforded by ali
The different transportation lines coming into our
heighborbOrhood, at present, would be sacrificed
snd consequently trade generally would % embar-
raSsed, and in some diverted from the city,
The memOralists believe that the proposed change is
not called for by any reason interest entitled to
weight or consideration by the Common Council, and
therefore they pray that further action with reference
thereto may be discontinued
Other circumstances numerously signed have been
presented to the Committee, and the project seems
to meet with general opposition from all quarters.
The Committee viii probably report soon.
