THE MARENG0 STREET SHELL ROAD.

Administrator of Improvements Cock
rem, through his chief clerk, Mr..
w. D. Ash, excerpts to our remarks
in regard to the shell road on Maren-
go street and sends us an explana.
ton that rather makes against the pro.
posed improvement. The public will
read the card of Mr.. Ash, which we
publish below, and it will be particular
to read the petition upon which the Ad-
ministrator based his action in introduce
ing the ordinance which he submitted at
the last session of the Council. The pc
tition is unique, not only from its pecu-
liar phraseology, but from tie voluminous
name of Mr.. J. Q. A. Fellowes which Or
naments it. Whenever We see that name
the sense of "things to come" besets and
makes us lively and watchful, it is so in
tensely welded to "ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain"
1t will be observed by the pensive stu
dent of legal exceptions that the petition
uses the words Magazine and Tchoupi-
toulas as convertible terms when applied
to certain street, just as some people
use Live Oak or Constance to designate
certain street that is happy in the possess
sion of two names This, We take it, would
be bar to recovery in any suit that
might be instituted against the property
holders for their proportion of the cost
of the proposed improvement. 1t is no
doubt one OF the legal lodges that the
Nicolson Paving Company knows some
thing about.
In the next place, the proprietorship of
thirty-nine hundred feet of real estate on
the line of the proposed shell road by Mr..
Fellows is not youched for by any docu-
ment from the surveyor, nor is there any
evidence before US, whatever there may
be before MI. Cockrem, that sixty-nine
hundred and seventy-two feet is the legal
majority required to bind the proprietors
along the line of said street. If there
should be a mistake in this matter, and
the road should be built under the ordi-
nance suggested at the last session of the
the city would undoubtedly have
to pay the entire cost, as there is no clause
In the charter that exempts the city from
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-10-07
all but one-third of the cost under every

all but one-third of the cost under every
circumstance. '''''s
In the third place, the calculation of
the Administrator is defective in that it
assesses the city to be the greatest con-
trbutor to the work. According to our
calculation, if the shell road is to cost
ffty-three. thousand dollars, the assess
ment should run as follows:
| Property owners share twothirds Of
City's share one-thiri Of five-sixths, and
Onesixtn.. ........................ 1880 %
Total cost $50 900 90
1t is plain to us that if the property has
to pay two-thirds and the city one-third
of the cost, together with the crossings,
the burden upon the corporation must be
less than that upon the special benefci-
aries whose real estate has been improved.
And, generally speaking, the petition
and its mixed up prayer, the uncertainty
as to the fact of one-half of the property
holders knowing of or even signing any
such document, and the peculiarities of
the whole matter, satisfy US that our po-
sition is the correct one. Administrator
Cockrem.is not certain about any of his
facts, or if he is he has not assured us
thereon, and We return to our original
suggestion with emphasis, that this shell
road proposed had better be ventilated
more fully before it is enacted into an Or
dinance. Now let Mr.. Ash speak:
Is Administrator Cockrem perfectly salts
fed with his Marengo street proposition.
In the first place the grant of right to lay
down portable railway on that street was
Objectionable. as the track is somewhat Of
an obstruction to the free use of that
thoroughfare. Now. to suggest that the
track ought to be shelled seems to be an
aggravation Of the evil, because the road
bed thus constructed will not be wide
enough to accommodate the wider gauge
vehicles that do other hauling than that Of
sand. The citizens have never petitiOned
for this contracted shell road, as the meas
ure proposed by Mr.. Cockrem suggests. for
if they had twO-thirds of the cost would be
incurred by them. instead Of two-fifths. The
city is hardly necessitated at present to
build narrow shell road on MarengO
street. and we therefore suggest little fur
Their investigation into the scheme before it
is passed.-RepMblican, October s.

the REPUBLICAN is invited to the following:
