time our State was under the control of its own
citizens, the building Of locks or sluices was
always prohibited in the bends of the river,
where the banks are always subject TO caving or
abrasion.
Another Of the many Objectionable features Of
tne whole project Is the location of the canal on
the north side Of Broad street, in the vicinity of
Bayou Savage and Gently Road, to say nothing
OF the damsge which this location will occasion
10 the i've railroads chartered by the State and
the city Of New Orleans. or OF its interference
with the navigation Of the New Canal and of the
Canal Carondelet, you will find that the fifteen
drawbridges so generously granted to the public
for distance of thirty miles, are far from being
sufficient to afford speedy communication be-
tween the two severed parts of our cities.
As whole. the project Ia an absurdity, and,
as | have already said, not worthy of discussion
and ought not TO be noticed. were ii not for the
determined intention to squeeze money from an
overwhelmed community, exhibited In the sup
Elementary act, which, IL ever passed by the
Legislature, will permit the gentlemen projectors
OF the scheme TO realize 9 profit Of nearly mil.
lion and half of dollars out Of the digging of
five miles Of a canal costing only 500 900.
IL, previous to its passage, the original charter
granted to the New Orleans and Ship Island Canal
Company had been referred by the Legislature to
the consideration Of the present able State en-.
gineer, l venture to say that this scheme would
have never been entertained, and then the addi-
tional act would have had no reason to be dis.
cussed.
