rights and privileges which once belonged
to that CORPORATION have been taken trom 1t.
Two years ago the Legislature c1 the
State. violating a prerogative belonging 10
the city ef New Orleans, passed that riost
extraordinary measure which created the
great Ship Island Canal Company. which
was to dig an immense canal from the lake
to.thc river, to make the system OF drainage
complete, to restore health to the city, and
to ward of that terrible pcstilence which
so often visited New Orleans. and w4lici,
proved so destructive to lis commercial
prosperity. This matter of drainage
is a matter that interests The rco-
pie of the city alone. Does not the
charter give the City Council authority -
drain the city Most assured!y It does.
What. then. has the Legislature to do with
air, ady been done! ii this resolution is
| passed. and this special Joint committee
appointed. we will probably have another
Ship Island canal bill brought before as.
Another bill will probably be introduced taxi
