MAYORS MESSAGE.
The following message from the Mayor
was received, and with the communication,
was referred to the Committee on Streets
and Landings.
MAYoRALrY OF NEW ORLEANS,
City Hall, March "a. 1865 !
To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen:
GENTLEMEN-I transmit herewith petit
ton of the leading coal merchants, asking
that the coal landing be changed from the
foot OF Poeyfarre street to the space between
Race and Robin streets. The landing at
the former is so much more valuable AS u
ship landing than at the latter place, on ac.
count of IA greater depth of water, that |
earnestly recommend the change.
The complaints of damage done to the
shipping lying above Canal street, by steam
boats running too close to them gong up,
are so very numerous that respectfully Call
your attention again to the subject and ask
that you will take immediate action upon 1t.
Very respectfully,
i. HEATH, Mayor.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of the City
Of New Orleans;
The undersigned, who are largely engaged
in bringing coal TO this city, respectfully
represent TO your honorable body that the
space allotted for the discharge of boats
(l50 teet) ut the foot or near Poeyfarre
street, is wholly inadequate for the purpose,
as one boat would take up that space II
moored broadside and in consequence Of
the current being SO near they could not be
safely discharged any other way at this
point.
Understanding a petition is now before
your honorable body praying that the space
between Race and Robin streets may be APP
propriated for an additional coal landing
we concur in the representations made
therein, that its position is rs central as can
be had in the first district, will give sui.
ficient room. and afford satisfaction to the
dealers in coal: and as the batture in front
for great portion OF the year prevents sea-
going vessels from discharging their Cargoes
between said streets, the city will derive
large revenues from coal boats and bargcs
at a point which would otherwise bring Il
comparatively small amount into the treas
ury.
And in duty bound your petitioners will
ever pray, etc. ....,-,,,,,r,-,
