Units, the undersigned respectfully reports
Is follows:
The statements therein made that ban
iuettes are broken down, bitches and gut
ers destroyed and filled up SO as to pre-
'ent drainage. causing water to stagnate |
nd breed impurities, are certainly true.
lrees on the ban4uettes are daily uprOoted
mo destroyed: pedestrians, and especially
aides and children, are annoyed and fright
ned, and prevented from walking out for
ieaslre; residents on their way home after
ark find the sidewalks INSTRUCTED BY cat
lie, and IN the day time their eyes are greet
d with the sight Of disgusting filth, willie
irving at night is extremely hazardous
he danger arising from cattle which lie all
light in the roadway
Residents IN other parts OF the city make
ne same complaint, and particularly in the
ixth District, where they say the cattle
oats and hogs occupy the handsome new
dewalk on St. Charles avenue. to the al
lost utter exclusion of tie property
wners.

axpayers should be abated, and the i'm
rovements of the city protected from de-
,ruction by rowing cattle. etc With this
nject IN view. present the following or
nance to supetsede the old ones bear
