Room No. Z City Hall,
Now Orleans, February g. 1853
To The Honorable the Common Council, City Of New
Orleans:
GENrLEMEN-I have nothing of Importance
to report to you touching this department
i for the past month. The number of men
1 employed was much smaller than has been
| employed for many years by this department
l for cleaning the public streets,
/ There is much need of repairs on many Of
the streets paved with round stone, more
| especially in the first district near the great
i centre OF trade, between Julia and Canal
streets. At the present time the city has no
ballast nor paving sand on hand for that
purpose, and have been unable to attend
| to it in consequence.
Many of the round stone paved streets
| through which the right of way has been
lately given to railroad companies have been
/ very impertectly replSced; in some places
| they are nearly impossible from this cause.
If am TO be held responsible for their con-
| dition it will be necessary that this depart
| ment be furnished with the necessary ma
| terial to make such repairs as these COM
panies may neglect. Your honorable body
should lose no time in providing for the
cleaning Of the draining canals, both as q
matter Of public health and economy, for if
the proper season for the performance of the
work is allowed TO pass BY, it will be hard to
| count the cost in life and money, besides
which the work of this department will be
rendered SO much easier.
For the winter months, and during the
cold weather have ordered the dumping
the oaal from private houses at the head OF
Il St. Joseph and Orange streets, for the pur
pose Of filling up the batture.
Very respectfully,
Street Commissioner.
