SURvEYOR's OFFICE, I
June l9, 1871.
To the City Council of New Orleans: tt .....l
| have the honor, in obedience to ordi-
nance No. 908, Administration series, rela-
tive to filing up the Canal street canal and
substituting brick culverts. or a canal in
Banks street, to report that culverting
would be very expensive, and in view of the
fact that other cross canals in the imme-
date vicinity would remain open, would
recommend that a canal be cut along the
northeast side of the New canal commenc-
ing at Galyez street and extending out to
st. Patrick street, the earth excavated from
said canal to be placed upon the southwest
side of tanal: so as to form protection
levee against the high waters of the New
canal, the whole work to be executed
outside OF the property lines of the New
Canal Company: also extend the present
drain along the upper side of Canal Caron-
delet from GalveZ street into Claiborne, to
receive the sewage from the drain in Clai-
borne street, between Canal and Toulouse
streets. Should canal be cut in Banks
street thirty-five feet wide at the top the
road ZACH SiAa xun.1lA no Inn 4
three feet nine inches wide. The expense of
excavating canal in Banks street or along
the New canal would be about the same.
Your attention is called to the approx
mate estimates of the cost of different
methods. In conclusion | would recom-
mend that all canals in the settled or urban
portion of the city be bottomed, sided up
and covered with durable material as soon
as the finances of the city will permit.
