REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.
The following report of the Committee
on Streets and Landings was received:
COMMITTEE OF STREETS AND LANDINGS,
Boatd Of Assistant Aldermen, I
City Hall, March II 1865.
10 the Honorable Board of Assistant Aldermen;
GENTLEMEN-Your committee have the
honor to report upon the following subjects
referred to them, viz:
Upon the petition of property owners on
Josephine street, between Apollo and Lib.
erty streets, asking that the street be
| planked or shelled at the expense of the
city, your committee would report that us
the city took up and used the planks for re-
| pairs to wharves during the war it is Just
that the loss sustained by the property own
ers who paid for this planking should be
made good by the city. The use of this lum-
| Der by the city was necessity at the time,
and great benefit. 1t would be right and
Just also for the property owners to pay some
proportion of the cost of a lew pavement
as the ,planks taken up by the city were
| partially worn out at the time they were so
used. As the city finances are now in such
an unsettled ambition, were commend that
action be deferred in the matter for the
| present. With the above notifications we
report fayorably upon the petition, recon-
mending that when the Improvement is
made the street be shelled instead ofplanked
as before.
Upon the petition of property owners in
the district between Claiborne and Mel.
| pomene streets, the new canal and Carroll
ton avenue, asking that the bitches of the
| streets in said district be opened, your COM
mittee would report at the present time un-
| favorably, for the reason that this district is
| at present wholly unimproved, and in the
present condition of the city treasury ex-
| penditures must be confined to the most
| urgent necessities of those portions Of the
| city that are improved and built up.
Upon the petition of property owners
| living in the vicinity of GalveZ canal, be-
tween the New and Old basins, asking that
made deeper to Broad street, your commit
tee report unfavorably, for the following
| reasons viz: The interests of the city re-
qulre o great and radical change in the
whole system of its drainage and draining
canals, and these changes and improve
ments are likely to be made soon. 1t would
be unwise to make temporary improvements,
or to anticipate the great work which must
soon be undertaken for the benefit of the
whole city. The work proposed in this petit
ton would necessitate heavy expenditure
at this time, when the city is not prepared
for it, and would be only temporary work.
