Act No. IS OF 1877, section 3, says: THE power

The city was dependent upon money TO do
work, and there was no money. The city found

SAILING AND STEAMSHIP wHARvEs.
We would respectfully recommend that the
piles of dirt and ballast now lying along the
river front be used to fill the holes In the bat
lures and roadway along the wharves.
Said ballast is now obstructing drays; also.
taking up valuable space required by shipping
for sending cotton aud other eargoes.
II the roadway along the wharves was prop
erly graded with ballast. and few Of the cross
streets leading TO the river were also put in
order, the present difficulties under which we
labor would be greatly relieved.
The street or roadway running parallel with
the Wharves. and contingent or adjoining is
inadequate for the purpose Of traffic and com
merce. In consequence OF the ,encroachments by
parties owning coal stones, hoop poles, ballast
and sand, thus narrowing the roadway to such
an extent as to render It at points i'm passable.
We would respectfully submit that. If the
shipping whilst paying for the privilege in
shape of levee dues) are entitled to certain
width or portion of the batture next the wood
OF the wharves. that such portion be set apart
and kept in condition for traffic and passage Of
drays. A. X. MILLER
