COMMITTEE o~ INTERNAL IMPROvRMzNT>
New Orleans, February II, 1851.
To the HOY orabe Speaker and Members OF the
House OF Representatives:
Two bills have been referred TO Commit
tee on Internal Improvements, having TIN
same object but entirely different in thei
reu,,irements They both incorporate com
river and both authorize the company Il
charge toll upon all freight passing through
the channel cut through the raft, 50 far al
said channel may be completed. .
The difference between the two bills. anc
the only one of any moment, is, that one
asks large subsidy from the State. viz
FIVE hundred thousand dollars to aid the
company in making the Improvement ant
the other bill asks nothing but the tolls t,
be collected. The incorpOrators in boil
bills are no doubt equally able to perform
all the duties enjoincd upon them by law
but in view of the proposed subsidy in one
and the absence of any subsidy II
the other. [ am instructed by the
committee to report that House bill
No. l57 entitled an act to incorporate tn
Louisiana Red River Raft Company. t,
grant said company authority to collec
tolls. and to provide State aid to assist il
removing the raft from the upper Red river

imous recommendation that it do not pass
And also. that House bill No. l48, entitled
an act chartering the Red River Raft Com
pany, and providing for the removal OF thu

imous recommendation that it do pass.
