prepared to start Immediately with the
| repairs of the wharf, and would put some
| FIVE hundred or thousand dollars of work
| upon it. There was a proposition before
the Council from this same company last
, week, in which they asked for ferry land
ing Immediately below the Morgan ferry
landing. This petition they had withdrawn
as impracticable. By the adoption of the
resolution he proposed, the city would lose
none Of its rights, and could withdray the
permission at any time. We charged the
Slaughterhouse Company just as much as
we charged any body else, and were simply
employing wharf which would otherwise
lie idle during the summer months.
Mr.. West said it might be possible he
would be brought to agree with the views
of the Administrator of Commerce, but the
public, as the Administrator of Commerce
assuredly ought to know, was very much
exercised just now on the subject of the APP
preparation of levees, and therefore he
wished delay.
Mr.. Finley: This is to quiet the agita-
ton.
Mr.. West continued that in his opinion
all these ferries took up too much room.
The Administrator of Commences PROPOSE
ton was that the company should not use
the ferry for any other but slaughterhouse
business. If the ferry was good thing, he
Mr.. Vest thought it should be extended
to all purposes.
4 Mr.. Walton said the granting of the
petition would destroy two of the best
wharves in the city-two wharves which,
in the season, were never vacant. He
thought it would be better to give them a
ferry right opposite the market, near the
Second District ferry.
Mr.. Shaw said as the matter of wharyes
belonged to the two departments of I'm
provements and Commerce, he would like
them to concur in their views, and he would
refer the matter to them conformity.
The report was received and ordered to
be printed, and the resolution accompany
ing it was referred, in accordance with Mr.
Shaw's motion.
Mr. Delassize reported as follows:

To the Council of the city Of New Orleans
I have the honor to submit herewith the
petition of the Firemens Charitable Asso-
citation of the late City of Jefferson, now
the Sixth District of this city. asking for
an appropriation of $500, for the support
and maintenance of the four fire companies
composing said association for the year
1870.
Petitioners state that the CITY of .yeffer
son paid their associstion $4,000 last year.
but made no appropriation for them for the
present year.
The Sixth District is a large and import
ant part OF our city, and the request of
petitioners seems reasonable and moderate,
in view of what the city pays the Firemen's
Charitable Association of the old part of the !
city. / therefore respectfully recommend
the appropriation OF the amount asked for.
s. G.. EMLEY.
Administrator of Commerce
Resolved, That the SUM of $500 is hereby !

of the four fire companies, composing the |
