in future, but he wanted the Council to il
quire into them just IS closely as il the
were to be paid in cash on the spot.
The last item on the ordinance, ]. XII
wins claim, was adopted.
Mr.. Shaw offered the following petition I
be printed:
To the Honorable Mayor and Administrators of tt
city of New Orleans:
GENTLEMEN-We, the undersigned, pre-
prietors and owners of that portion of groun
fronting on Dauphine street, late Grea.mer
between Poland and Delery. most respect
fully represent that the projected removs
of the double track railroad from Dauphin
street. within the above limits, to Leve
street, will cause to your petitioner!
property an irrepsrable injury, and to thei
families an inconvenience which will amour
to prohibition of any intercOmmunicatiol
with the central parts of the city.
mat there exists no avenue leading iron
their property to the contemplated new lin
of the said railroad.
| That there are no sidewalks. no lamps OF
the said line of Dauphine street, so tina
your petitioners, in muddy wenther, the
track being removed. would suffer tn,
greatest hardship in order to reach the car:
on Poland or Delery streets.
That upon the faith of the city ordinanc.
No. 1915, passed by the Common Council
and approved third February, 1860, and the
contract subsequently passed by the city
with j. B. SlawsoD, before C. E. Fortier
notary public, to establish the double TRACK
of railroad through Prytania, Rampant and
Dauphine streets to the barracks. your petit
TONERS have largely invested in the pur.
chase of lands and the building of dwellings
which large investments will eventually, or
account of the contemplated removal Of the
said track from Dauphine street occasion q
ruinous loss.
That for such an immense loss caused to
your petitioners. by the necessary removal
of the said track from Dauphine street,
they reserve their legal recourse against the
city.
The population on the line of Dauphine
street, from Poland to Delery, is largely in
creaslng; that the number of cars is every
day found insufficient to accommodate the
crowd of passengers on the said line.
Consequently, the company would find an
actual and increasing profit in maintaining
the present double track on Dauphine street,
with the new one on Levee street.
Your petitioners therefore, pray that YOU
may please to order that the double track
now existing on Dauphine street. between
Poland and Delery streets, be maintained,
together with the new track CO ntemplated
on the ievee.
