GESTLEMEN-In order to avoid the neces-
sity of steamers passing the Magnolia Street
bridge across the New Canal, / would re-
spectfully recommend that your honorable

adamiZe Julia street from Magnolia street
to Claiborne street. with a good roadway to

City OF New Orleans, april !, 1868
To the Honorable the Common Council, Board Of
Assistant Aldermen:
GENTLEMEN-I would respectfully suggest
that your honorable body authorize this
department to construct two diagonal cul
verts, with curb side and bottom, and iron
top, one at the intersection of Exchange
alley and northeast side of Canal street,
and one at the intersection Of Bourbon
street and northeast side of Canal street.
| am of opinion that two bridges three
Gld half feet wide placed at the above
localities will prevent any overflow of the
northeast banquette, as the gutter adjoining
the neutral ground will perform an equal
service with that next the banquette, re-
suit not attained by the present arrange
ment. During heavy rains the sidewalks
are overlooked, while the neutral ground
cutters have very little water il them.
Respectfully, etc.,
". H, BELL,
City Surveyor.
