To the Honorable the Common Council, Board of

Felicity and Dryades streets this provision

George D Field. Esq, Street Commissioner, New
Orleans;
sIR-Your communication Of the 25th
inst, calling attention to the requirements
nf article nf tho phapfar nf fbfa NnuUapv
relating to the hydrants was referred TO |
the president, who makes the following in |
dorsement:
1.-THE city gives US too much trouble we
have contract, and our duty is to conform |
oursef to its tenor. When the city will |
have possession of this company they will |
have time enough TO conform themselves to |
the thirty-eighth section of our charter"
| am, sir, very respectfully,
(signed) BRAXTON BRAGG,
Superintendent.
1t is reasonable to presume from the |
character of the above communication that |
the said com pany have no intention to com.
ply with the said condition of their charter.
and as It is q matter Of vital importance to |
the city that fire plugs should be erected in |
accordance with the provisions of article SO |
OF the said charter, / would respect |
fully ask that some speedy action may be |
taken by your honorable body to compel |
the said company to carry out the require |
ments Of the same.
would ns0 bog iiSesi- 9 :. e cell senr atten.
ton and invite your confederation TO mat |
ter which | think will prove of some in |
terest and benefit to the city. For the i'm |
mense quantities Of stable manure daily |
accumulated throughout the city there has |
never been deaignated any regular place Of |
deposit, In consequence OF which 1t has |
been carried and thrown wherever the in. |
of parties has prompted but more 1
particularly upon the hattures fronting the |
city, creating at times most intolerable |
nuisance, giving rise TO grieyous COM /
plants, which this department. has been |
almost poWerlesB to remedy or prevent. / 1
would respectfully suggest the passage OF an /
ordinance establishing dumping ground |
for the stable refuse arising IN the first and |
fourth districts. in the neighborhood of the |
jackson railroad depot, convenient to be /
loaded on cars, to be distributed on the line |
Of the railroad for fertilzing purposes. The |
officers of said road will cooperate cheer |
fully In a matter which will prove of so |
much benefit to the country, and the city |
viii certainly derives advantages in a |
sanitary point Of view should this meet |
with your approval. No additional ex-
penditures will In any manner be incurred. |
Trusting that the above suggestions may |
receive a favorable consideration at your |
/ remain, respectfully
GEORGE d. FIELD,
Street Commissioner
