Yesterday at noon the bids for one hundred
thousand dollars Of city bonds were opened in
the Mayors parlor, and those accepted will be
found in our monetary column.
The Mayor was on visit Of inspection on Sum
day on Louisiana Avenue, in connection with the
proposed grain railroad. Mr.. Pilsbury. how
ever, is not prepared to give an opinion at pres
ent as to what is most advisable to do in the
premises.
Administrator Cavanac, to whom the matter
was referred, will make his report to-day at the
Council meeting, but does not say what its char
scter will be.
We find, nevertheless, a decided feeling among
our City Administrators in favor of advancing the
interests Of commerce in this connection, but
they do not propose to act hastily. They wish,
in case right Of way of some kind is afforded
to Messrs. Schneider and Highly for this
IMPORTANT RAILROAD,
to surround the grant with conditions and safe
guards of most positive nature. and that will
not leave the matter open to donbt in the future,
as occurs in the case of many other railroads.
