held a special meeting last night, called on
the petition of a number Of citizens for the
reconsideration of the action of the Council
at the regular meeting last week, in refer
ence to the improvement Of the levee and
the removal Ct the Ferry Landing from
Washington to Eagle street. The action of
| the regular meeting was sustained BY vote
of 4 TO 3, and the improvement Of the levee
at the foot of Eagle street goes on.
The action of the Council in this matter
has led to very earnest complaints and pro-
tests among some of our citizens, who com
plain that their property in Washington
street and its vicinity is to be deprecated in
value, and that the property of those who
originated and voted for the measure is to
be correspondingly enhanced in value, as q
consequence Some bad blood has been ex.
cited about it among the rival property own
ers on the two streets. If the question pre-
sented no other aspect than this, the public
would be Indifferent and we certainly
should be. This would be nothing but the
old story Of the bull goring the OK, the i'm.
portant inquiry among the parties being,
whether the Eagle street bull had gored the
Washington street OK, or whether the Wash
ington street bull had gored the Eagle
street OK. In either case the owner of the
gored OK would be loud in his complaints Of
wrong, and demands for ustice, and the
owner of the bull equally indifferent and OBJ
livious to the wrong. 1t is moi
at oil improbable that if the Ferry had here
tofore landed at the foot of Eagle street, and
the Washington street interest had happened
70 have controlling influence in the Coun
ell, and had seen an opportunity to promote
the interests Of their street and vicinity, they
would not have scrupled to gore the Eagle
street OK out of its way and bring the Ferry
up to Washington street, in which event the
Eagle street OK would have beloved as lus
tilv as does now the Washington street an
mal.
But the public has an nteres: here which
should be asserted and respected. We Dc
r not think that the landing of the Ferry al
} one place or the other is an important ques
ton in itself, for it will be about equally
3 convenient and accessible at either place
; We do think, however, and the public, out
! side Of the owners Of Eagle street propert.
! will agree With US, that inasmuch as TIN
landing of the Ferry at Washington stree
, is thought to add something to the value o
property there, and inasmuch as it hiss hee'
long established at Washington street,
, should not be moved therefrom By the .'t
. Council except some public necessity eA'''
, for it. This suggests an important question
Does any public interest require the re"0''
of the Ferry? Preferring not, after INC "s1
