a NEW HELL ROAD TO THELAKE

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Swallowing your desire for public i'm
provements, I take the liberty of making
the columns Of your journal the medium of
the following suggestions to the citizens Of
New Orleans, Jefferson and Carrollton
cities, to-wit:
Washington avenue is now opened and
shelled TO its intersection with Carrollton
avenue, intersecting SAID avenue nearly op-
posite Seventeenth street, which lies in Car
rollton but not opened. Seventeenth street
intersects the line of the Carrollton and
Lake Railroad, lin the rear of Oakland
Race Course), not in use at present as a
railroad, but forming fine bed for a shell
road to the lake. The total distance to be
shelled would be about four and quarter
miles, three of which requires but little
labor to prepare it for shelling, one-quarter
mile requires to be ditched and graded.
The citizens of Carrollton could shell the
line of railroad from Carrollton to the
point of intersection Of Seventeenth street
in the rear of the Oakland Race Course.
The road thus completed would afford
fine drive and free exit from tine cities to
the lake. The Metairie road from tine
New Canal to the line of Jefferson and
Lake Railroad, "a short distance) could be
shelled, thus throwing the travel from.
Bienville, Canal and Common streets into
free thoroughtare to the lake. 1t is a
sad reflection for the citizens of New Or
leans, Jefferson and Carrollton. that they
have fine lake within four miles of their
homes and no free approach to it. A
proper combination of the Councils of the
cities would soon result in practical benefits
to their constituents. B.
