The encroachments made by the railroads
anon our Ievee front have greatly abridged the
space I'm which steamboats, bringing sugar anu
1noIasses to this market can land their cargoes.
Even at this curly period Of the season great
Inconvenience ia felt by STEAMBOATS, in putting
off their freight. and we often see hogsheads OF
sugar and barrels OF molasses filing the entire
space of the levee. even up to the aprons. much
to the Inconvenience of pedestrians having
business on the levee. We regret to learn that
steps have already been taken TO open n road
way along this levee for the transmission of
drays, which will still further reduce the
amount OF space devoted to the landing Of
sugar. We hope the Administrator having
this In charge will not resolve upon such q
course of action.
