THE PETERS AVENUE CANAL
For some time past project has been on foot
to afford relief by drainage 10 the large number
of property holders living in that low portion OF
the Sixth District, between the lower line Of the
Park, Peters Avenue, st. Charles and Magazine
streets 1t was proposed to cut deep canal
along Nashville Avenue from the Claiborne Canal
across st. Charles Avenue, so as to give q swift
drain to the lowest spot in this hitherto avoided
portion Of our city.
Inspection, however, developed the fact that
Nashville Avenue at st. Charles strikes square
which is private property, and although it con-
tinues to the river, two short turns in the canal
at this point would be required To overcome
this objection another line was sought and that
broad route, Peters Avenue, has been selected by
the municipal authorities.
Although some OF the property holders on
either side may demur, yet we feel satitfed the
enhancement in value Of their property will more
than compensate them for whas might appear at
first sight an injury. The valley between Maya.
zine and st. Charles streets is in dire need OF
drainage relief, as in it's present condition rain
flood every garden and render impossible the
streets. This canal is what is vented.

NEW ORLEANS, July Is, 1875.
To the Hon. Mayor and Administrators OF the City
of New Orleans
Conference.-The undersigned, your petitioners,
beg leave to lay before your Honorable body the
grievous injury that would be ensailed on their
various businesses and caliings by granting the
right Of way to the proposed railroad along the
river front from Napoleon Avenue to the Third
District. The said railroad would along with the
others now on the levee, leave no room Tor steam
boats and other river craft to discharge their car
goes, and use such extra expense that it will be
impossible to carry freight at thu press mt rates
The injury that would ensue to those engaged in
the drayage would be incalculable, as it would
give to monopoly at higher rates the work
which now gives employment to hundreds. By
giving your consideration, and thwarting the
project which would cucumber commerce and
destroy an industry, your petitioners will ever
