SURVEYORS OFFICE. ORR HALL. |
New Orleans, October 10. 1878 !
J. A. dHemeceurt. ESQ. City Burveyor
Sir-Some time ago / called your attention
to slide In tho bank of the river opposite
Mr.. Delnvignes residence. 4 report was
without delay made by you to the City Coun-
Gil, No action having been taken upon Che
same and rs 7 consider the matter Of great
Importance. and one OF urgency, feol com
polled to again refer to tho Same go that In
Tho future no blame could fall ON your do
partment.
Complaints arc loud and high against the
Belt Railroad, between Marigny and Mando-
Vile streets, which has stopped work, and,
by leaving cars, materials and piles OF dirt
everywhere. has thereby caused tho ap-
proaches. to wharves Nos. 23 and "a difficult
task, and left very little room for freight on
tho levee. There are three vessels moored to
each Of said whnrvcs, and unless the Belt
Railroad be compelled to Mt once complete
tho work abandoned by thom, the vessels shall
have to be removed to somo other whnrves
Tho Mobile and Toxas Railroad is now dig
ging tho levee and street between Girod and
Julia streets, and laying moro tracks and
switches, and rs J. am ignorant Of their right
80 to do, request action on your part.
I ROMAN. very respectfully,
LOUIS ii. PILE
Deputy City Surveyor.
