The petition of NJ. Carroll lessee OF the
| Vegetable and Fruit Markets, represents
that the Orleans Railroad Company. in lay
inc their track ON Old Levee street, tore up
the street. and kept it in such condition
for many days that carts and wagons bring
ing vegetables to the market could not use
II. which resulted in serious loss to the petit
TONER and he asks for compensation from
the city for this loss, at the rate OF twenty
five dollars per day.
The contract between the Orleans Rail
road Company and the city existed when
the petitioner took possession OF said mar
kets as lessee. / can see nothing to justify
the city in granting compensation as prayed

To the City Council Of New Orleans:
On the twentieth of December the Coun
ell referred to me q communication from
, Mr.. John II. OConnOr, calling for the re
mOval Of the main supply and discharge
pipes Of the city, waterwOrks from the
square OF batture ground Immediately
| fronting said works, of which Mr.. OCOnnO,
, | claims to be the owner, and suggesting az
an alternative that the Council should buy
the property in question.
= In reply to that communication, have tG
| report that, at the time of tho sale Of tht
square by the city. the property was apprO
: priated to waterwOrks purposes, and tina
! fact was fully known. Under such eircdm
b stances, the city has a right. in the absenc,
of any clause in the contract Of sale givins
the property free from the uses Of the wa
I terwOrks, to compel Mr.. O'COnnor to sub
!. ject his property to the use to which it wa
applied at the time of his purchase.
am further informed by the City AttOr
ney that there are other legal grounds upol
: which the city might rest her right to til,
). use of the square. but at the present mo
u ment it is. probably, better to arrange mat
tiers amicably if possible, rather than to re
sort to heightened and expensive Etiga
ton.
= l would. therefore, suggest that the cit,
J purchase Of Mr.. O'Connor, on fair an
u equitable terms, his right, title and interes
to the square in question: he to reinvest tn
city with as perfect title as he acquires
: from her, and that the Administrator Q
WaterwOrks and Public Buildings be en-

70 view to bringing about some such arrange
