resolution was introduced by M. stith, re-
questng the streets and landiGgs committee to
effect, if possible, compromise between the
contesting parties to the Royal street railroad.
He thought that the matter could be arranged by
substituting Bourbon street in place of Royal
Mr., Clark was opposed to any compromise, and
believed that if the matter was ever carried to the
higher courts, that Messrs. Nicholson & Go. would
bethrown.
Mr.. Whitney thought that the present railroad
under question was one of the greatest bores in
existence. The street was only eighteen feet
wide in some places, and only two-thirds of that
distance were at the public service VIXEN any
building was being erected. Everybody knew
that this company never intendedto build the road,
He was sorry to hear the resolution AS long as
it was before the court the board had no right to
medde withit.
Mr.. Stith stated that he was the first TO oppose
this railroad, and it was TO avert this line that he
introduced this resolution.
MT. Whitney stated that report had been made
discouraging any railroads between Rampant and
the river
Mr.. Stith thought that the property holders on
Bourbon street were nfa7or Of the proposed plan.
No railroad could be constructed which would not
encounter some opposition. One on Carroll street
was to pass where the street was hardly the
width Of an ordinary pavement, but he did not OBJ
iect TO it because the property holders seemed to
be in favor of it. He thought it the duty of the
city to protect the people Of Royal street in this
way. The motion was lost
