TO the City Councillor New Orleans:
The New Orleans Gas Light Company re
port that the service pipe connecting large
number of lamps in and around the pnD!le
squares with the company mains are de
cayed, and cause considerable loss OF ga
from underground leakage. To lay new
service pipes would be expensive to the city
and as the lamps have been III desuetudt
since 1864, and for the sake o. economy
likely to continue so, recommend that tic
company be permitted 10 cut OF such ser
vice from their main pipe.
The same company intend to iln Il 'argt
main directly from their works across tll'
New Basin, for the purpose OF giving a bet
ter delivery of gas above jackson street
which is very necessary to consumers n th'
Fourth District, end ask permission TO rtll
such a main through the Woihhou5e prop
erty, which extends across Locust street
the proposed route. As can see no ob
lection, l recommend the PERMISSION 10
granted.
