To tho Honorable Mayor and Administrators
of the city of New Orleans:

Fetftfmelt--Durtng the month Oh august,
| 1876 the undersigned. together with about 300
| of their felow-citizens. residents and property
holders on Canal street, presented to your
honorable body petition and protest against
granting privilege to the City RailrOad Com
pany TO run steam train Of cars upon Canal
street In our protest we set forth fully all
the'eyils and annoyances which We could fore
see would be Gntailed upon W. and our pro-
perty and rights as resident citizens. All the
evils and hunoyanoes which we put forth in
our petition have been realized ten fold.
For period Of nine months we have quietly
submitted to this most terrible annoyance and
nuisance and we most respectfully ask that
you will now take up our petition, rescind the
privilege granted to this steam railroad com
pany and force them back TO either Claiborne
or Basin streets. We most. respectfully re-
mind you that by their charter they have no
right on this street with n steam train of cars
Their charter gives them the simple right to
run, single cars, drawn by horse or
hour, instead Of which. they run
through the very centre Of an avenue already
overcrowded with horse cars and other
vehicles, usurping the entire control OF tie
street to the exclusion OF the people Of the city
and residents upon the avenue. The rattle
and noise OF these long steam trains over
light horse car rails, together with the con-
slant ringing Of bells, the putting and whistle
Of the engine Is most intolerable nuisance
and enough to drive every resident from his
the street A family might live more quietly
in the Grand Central depot OF the New York
Central and Hudson Railroad than upon Canal
street II this nuisance Is to be continued.
There are already twelve horse car railroad
companies on Canal street, between Royal and
Rampant and to impose a steam train of ten
cars moving every fifteen minutes to IL
o'clock ut night Is m imposition beyond our
endurance. The single horse cars running
from Royal street TO Claiborne street would
f,
desirous Of going to tho Lake although this
might not be so profitable to the stock
holders OF this company, it would relieve
US, your petitioners, OF most In
tolerable nuisance, which is subiecting
ton, and depriving US of quiet occupation Of
our homes by day and night. We earnestly
ask and pray that you will cause the removal
Of this evil rs early as possible. This steam
train has driven from the street every private
pleasure drives to the Lake. fair and other
pleasure grounds it is destructive of every
interest of the property holders and resident
and only beneficial to u body OF Stockholders
having no interest beyond dividends in the
corporation.
