New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1873-09-10

citizens of the Second and Third Districts
needed something to arouse them from
years of lethargy and indifference to public
improvements. A good macadamized road
was sadly needed from the slaughterhouse
to Canal street, as at present every thor
oughfare used by the butchers to bring I'D
their meats was almost impossible.
Mr.. Sambola offered the following, which
were adopted:
WHEREAS, The citizens of the Third Dis.
trict OF the city OF New Orleans have on
| many previous occasions urged upon the
| city authorities to make certain improve
| ments, such as were bestowed on other
| parts OF the city; and whereas, nothing has
ever been done by those who have been in
| power, notwithstanding their promises to DO
| 30; and whereas, the citizens have conf
dence IN the integrity and impartiality of
| our present city administration; and where
| as, the Third District has not for wears re.
ceived due share of public improvements.
although lite inhabitants bear an equal pro-
portion OF the taxation, and are therefore
entitled to an equal share in the benefits de-
rived from the expenditure of it's annual
proceeds;
he AZ resotred, That a special committee
pc appointed to wait upon the Mayor and
administrators of the city of New Orleans
to urge the following improvements:
l. The construction and maintenance of
one well built and passable road from Es-
planade street to the lower line of the city
below the Barracks and on Goodchildren
street, which would not only enable our
gardeners, hunters, butchers and fishermen
of Terre aux Bouts to bring their produce
of vegetables, game. fish and meat to our
markets, but also furnish an avenue tor
pleasure drives 80 much needed in this d1s-
trict

the most deplorable condition, including
GENTLY road.
3. The extension OF gas and water works,
with which the district ia provided in
very limited period.

thereby permanently adorned, and afford a
cool and refreshing shade in the heat of

the transfer by the national government to
the city of New Orleans OF the use and
ownership of the United States Branch
