Adopted.
In the matter of the petitions of the
Central of Georgia. Georgia & Alabama,
and Savannah, Florida & Western rail
roads, asking for the right to lay tracks
on Bay and other streets in the city of
Savannah. the Committee of the Whole, TO
which the said petitions were referred beg
to report adversely thereon.
After careful investigation, and a per-
sonal inspection of the streets proposed to
be used by the railroads to reach Bay
street. the Committee is apprehensVe that
in allowing railroad tracks to be laid on
Bay and other streets the interests of the
merchants who have petlticned in favor of
such a privilege being granted would not
be observed. The granting of such privi-
leges to the railroads would tend 10 de-
prive these merchants and the public
generally, of the use of Bay street, it's ser
vice, under such circumstances, being
limited 10 that of a railroad thoroughfare.
To be of effectual benefit il would be
necessary for the railroads to lay side
tracks and spur tracks along Bay street
at frequent intervals. and this would pre-
vent the use OF the street by the drays and
other vehicles of mere hants and the gene
raj pubic In addition, the property own
ers on Indian street, who would receive nc
benefit from the laying of tracks on that
thoroughfare, are thoroughly opposed &c
such use of that street Their rights in
the matter cannot be overlooked nor dis
Regarded.
There Is one plan by which Bay street
might be reached by the railroads without
the use of Indian street By leaving the
River street track near West Broad street
and going through part of what Is
known as Factors Walk, and emerging up.
on the Strand nearly opposite Jefferson
street, a route which does very little dam.
age to property can be obtained.
After reaching the Strand there is nC
difficulty in placing the several lines so as
10 accommodate the various interests.
If the railroads desire 20 avail them
selves of this plan, which appears feasible
petition from them 10 that effect will bt
given careful consideration by Council.
