The following report from the Committee
on Streets and Landings was read and
received;
COMMITTEE OF STREETS AND LANDINGS,
Board Of Assistant Aldermen,
Oity Hall, April IS 1868
To the Honorable the 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
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 a neutral ground
running through the middle of this street
Tor the entire distance for which it is asked
to lay this pavement, the city will have to
pay for about 81, 76j yards, and the property
owners %, 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 Law
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 majority of the
property owners fronting on a street may
prevent the paving 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:
Inc city is not now in such a financial |
as would justify an expenditure of |
over $1,000 on her part. Again, by delay |
d few months the city and property own.
5rs, also, may be able to have this same
work performed for far less sum of money,
Your Committee are informed that the
)atentright granted to individuals or a
company to lay this particular style of pave
nent will expire in August next; after that
line there is an opportunity of introducing
competition in the making of bids for this
work, and probably $4,000 may be thereby
'aVed to the city and property owners,
which amount. would now go to the profit
If individuals.
Upon the petition of property owners ask
ng that Murat street be ditched, and BRIDGES
quilt from Canal street TO the CITY park.
'our Committee would report unfaYorably
or the present.
Upon the petition of the Orleans Railroad
NhtpoAJ1 oohAuB dubuOIlly 10 after I0etF

4aharpe street, thence down Laharpe street
o their depot, and to abandon the right
.lven them to run from Broad street down
Sayou Road to White street, thence down
White street to their desot, your Committee
would report favorably, and offer the nee.
ssary resolution.
