The following report from the Committee
on Streets and Landings was read and
received:
COMMITTEE OF. STREETS AND LANDINGS, }
| Board OF Assistant Aldermen,
| City Hall, April 2S, 1858
To the Honorable the Board OF Assistant Aldermen
| GENTLEMEN-You Committee have the
honor to report upon the following subjects
| referred to them, viz
| Upon the petition of property owners on
| st. Charles Street, asking for the paving of
the east and west sides of that street, from
| Tivoli circle to Toledano street, with NiCol-
| son pavement, your Committee would report
| as follows As there is neutral ground
running through the middle of this street
for the entire distance for which it is asked
to lay this pavement the city will have to
| pay for about 81, 765 yards, and the property
owners q, 765 yards. The city will have to
pay considerably more than one-half the
| entire cost of laying this pavement if this
petition be granted. The cost to the city at
| the price per yard at which the contract for
| paving Race street was adiudicated would
| be over $4,000, and as individuals or a
| company holds the exclusive right to lay
| this kind of pavement and there can be no
| competition it is probable the city would
pay as much or more than this price. The
| City Charter provides that a majority of the
| property owners fronting on street may
| prevent the paying or banqueting of said
street. In this case the city owns more than
a majority of the property fronting said
street. We therefore recommend that the
| city offer its objection to the prosecution of
this work for the following reasons
The city is not now in such a financial
| condition as would justify an expenditure OF
over $1,000 on her part. Again, by delay
of few months the city and property own
ers, also, may be able to have this same
| work performed for a far less sum of money.
| Your Committee are informed that the
| patent-right granted to individuals or a
company to lay this particular style of pave
ment will expire in August next; after that
time there is an opportunity of introducing
competition in the making of bids for this
work, and probably $4,000 may be thereby
saved to the city and property owners,
which amount would now go to the profit
of individuals.
Upon the petition of property owners ask,
ing that Murat street be ditched and bridges
built from Canal street to the City park,
your Committee would report unfavorably
for the present.
Upon the petition of the Orleans Railroad
company, asking authority TO alter their
| route so as to run down Broad street ia
Laharpe street, thence down Laharpe street
to their depot, and to abandon the right
given them to run from Broad street down
Bayou Road to White street, thence down
White street to their desot, your Committee
would report favoraDly, aud offer the nee
essary resolution.
