and is about ready to begin business
This Belt railroad is unique. The en-
tire water front on both banks OF the
Mississippi river belongs, with the ex'
ception Of several special landing
places, to the municipality itself. In
order to enable the railroad cars to
reach the wharves and to lie along
side the ships for the transfer nj ex
change of cargoes the city OF New
Orleans, owning the river banks, has
built along the river front a railroad
whose tracks connect with those Of
all the trunk lines reaching this city
and by means of this municipal rail
way Il is a simple affair to receive
cars from all the trunk lines and Il
deliver cars to all these lines, ant
either connect with the shipping II

of the city. and with which the Bel
connects.--N. o. Picayune.
