TO the City Council of New Orleans:
| beg leave respectfully to submit the
following report in relation to the petition
OF one IN Ryan. claiming damages from
the city tor the breakage Of parOuche, as
follows:
COR repairs to barOuche. SO, |
For time lost, forty days, at five dollars

lotal. 1900. S}21
With interest at FIVE per cen. from June
20. 1871
1t appears by the petition that the dam
age was caused ny the barouche going into
4 mud hole and striking piece of iron"
The facts Of the case are, that the
baroucle ran into water gate attached to
The thirty-inch main laid ON the levee.
There was barrier around the gate. and
ample room for the passage OF two or three |
vehicles on either side. This gate has been
n position for three years, and, although in |
the midst of one of the greatest thorough
fares in the city, this is the first instance of
accident, showing clearly that the cause
was the absence of ordinary caution, and not
the presence Of the water gate.
Az the water gate was rendered useless
~ the needless driving of Ryan, l hold
mat claim for damages on the part of the |
'lty would best accord with the facts of the |
,ase.
therefore ask to be discharged from the
urther consideration of the petition
