ANOTHER REPORT OF COMPTROLLER.
Memphis, Texx., Sept. 7, 1S6U.
To the Honorable the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen of the city of Memphis:
Gentlemen: In all the propositions
which have been made by parties to
purchase the stock in the Memphis
and Little Kock Railroad owned by
the city of Memphis, I believe there
never has been any positive agree
ment on the part of parties proposed
to purchase the stock to have the road
completed by any given time. This,
in my judgment, should be the great
desid'eratum with the city. The stock
should not pass into the hands of any
company who would not furnish the
means to complete the road, and the
President and Directors of the road
should be required to give good secu
rity that the road shall be completed
in "six mouths, or return the stock to
the city. This arrangement can be
made with a responsible party through
the President of the road, Mr. R. C.
Brinkley, who will draw up the con
tract with the parties purchasing the
stock, so that the stock will revert to
the city if the road is not finished in
the six months.
The party proposing to purchase
will deposit the amount of mony
necessary to complete and equip the
road, and pay the city 7o cents for the
stock.
It is thought that the stock is worth
more monev, and ought not to be sold
lor less tuan 100,u0ti. I have no
doubt that the stock could be sold at
its par value, say So72,0O0, to a party
whose iuterests it would not be to
complete the road. But the city
wouid make money by giving the
stock away to a party who would
turnish the means to complete the
road' and furthermore bind himself to
equip and complete the road in six
months, and would lose money by
selling the stock at par to a party
who would give no such guarantee.
If the stock should pass into the hands
whose interests it would not be to
complete the road, the city of Mem
phis would lose all of her trade west
of the Mississippi river, and the whole
of it would be transferred to St. Loni-..
Our stock in th:it road is worthless
urlea tne road is completed, and it
cannot ie comiileted Without means
and capitalists will not put their (and
Into t railroad without a large pros

them. I am instructed by Mr. K
fj
Brinkley, President of the road, to
say to your honorable body that he
wfil give a good guarantee to the city
that the road shall be completed in
six mouths from the time arrange
ments are entered into between the
city of Memphis and tho parties wish
ing to purchase. I do not think the
city could do better than to make the
arrangements prOfiQS) '
The City Attorney informs rne that
itijui)Lti.',ns - again;: the :ile of stock)
taken out by the First National Bunk
can be dissolved at any time the city
mav require it.

was probably produced by the. change
v. --------- -
m the direction or tne current ana
cutter of the Tennessee shore above
that by similar changes and cuttings
on theArkaasts shore above, and so
on.alteri.atinirfrom side to side of the
river. Thus a chaineat our front and
cut off, for instance, may produce aud !
i effect hundreds of miles below, modi
Hod, perhaps, by the abraseous, and
resulting from the new directions of
the currents at intermediate poiuts,
two distinct plans seem to present
themselves, by which to preyeut the
the current.
h pittt) of making a cut-oft above 1
the city Vy opening the Tennessee
chute or otherwise, i a much greater
undertaking; will necessitate encoun-
termg greater physical force j be more
uneertain in its results, and might ae-
omplish too much, so as to require
addittonnl prks to control the jiw er
id our own creattoo.
If the original short, line above the
chute could lie re-established of mato-
rials which would not wash, and the
sngen ooars, wmcn prooaoiy aeceu-
rate the til I i nt?. removed, it is not
probable the chauiael would reopen, or
that it would remain open, it cut out,
since the current, owing to changes
above, wuld not strike the shore at
the same angle, and the head of Island
'l (old Hen) which formerly served to
divide the current, lias been washed
away. If the physical difficulties necessarj-
to change the current were
overcome and the cut-off made,it
would be exceedingly difficult to con
trol both the amount and direction of
the water coming through, so that it
should neither wash nor fill. If it
should till it would be only less Inju
rious than the cutting, and might ef
fect the entire front of the city.
As I am not yet in possession of all
the facts, local and general, bearing
on the question I shall not in this pa
per attemptto give an estimate of the
amount of 'material or cost of the
work, but from the facts at hand will
express the opinion that operations at
the place where the abrasions are tak
ing place, such as building short piers
or jetties into the river or facing the
slope of the bank with stone by
dropping loose blocks near the shore
and permitting them to slide down
until they obtain firm footing at the
bed of the river, will be found to give
more certain results.
Many other means have been tried
with success on other rivers, such as
piles, bundles of facines and locks, or
panniers filled with sand and gravel,
someot which are entirely impracti
cable and others of doubtful utility in
this instance, because of great depth
of the water and strength of the cur
rent. There Is nothing that lalls within
the provinces of engineering that pre
sent greater difficulties or produces
more uncertain results than an inter
ference with the complicated natural
causes which control the regiura ot
rivers, and no works ought to be at
tempted until all of the tacts bearing
on the question have been obtained
by a careful survey and soundings.
In this instance I think we should
also carefully collect all of the infor
mation with regard to work of a simi
lar character which have been con
structed on the Mississippi river.

the season.
1 deem it proper to detail an account
of the operations ana expenaitures ot
been paid, the amount per montn is
$88 19; by what has to be paid tor the
year $116 44. In the one ease aver-
aging about 21 cents per prescription;
in the other 23 cents. This includes
cost of tilling up. Making due allow-
ance for errors or omissions on part of
druggist and physician in recording,
and I have no hesitation in putting
the cost down to 20 cents a proscrip-

These fUTUres show an exceedingly
small cost for the year: much suffering

The reports of standing committees
wits then called for, when Alderman
Motlet, Chairman of the Committee
ou Accounts, read the budget
of expenses for the ' month, in
cluding all the various departments of
tne city government.
Alderman Foley objected to allow
ing a salary to Mayor Leftwich during
his absence, but the report as made
was adopted.
The Improvement Committee of
fered a partial report through Alder
man GPDmumIIj Its Chairman but
upon motion it vr:n laid over until the
next raralar meeting.
The Committee on Finance, Alder
man IJolst, Chairman, hein called
upon, reported adversely to the peti
tion of B. F. Green. In reference to a
resolution before the Committee, and
referred to them at a previous meet
ing, prohibiting officers of the city
from overdrawing their accounts, as
well as paying money out of the City
Treasury to parties indebted to the
city, the Committee stated that there
was already ordinances on the statute
books covering the matter. The re
port as re-ad was adopted.
The Committee ou'Urdiuances made
no report. .
Alderman Cartright, Chuirman of
the Landing Committee, stated that
owing to his absence the Committee
had not met, and asked for further
time.
Alderman O'Donnell arose and said
that the matter before this Committee
had already been delayed loo long
that the Board would Anally have to
take the matter in hand and might as
well do it now as at any future time.
Considerable discussion here arose,
during which Alderman Cartright left
the Chair and again asked for more
time.
Alderman Gallagher said that the
Landing Committee had in their pos
session a putitiuu signed by mauy
merchants asking the city not to inter
fore with the whartboats.
Alderman Monet said he would
not give a cent for a petition. Many
of those who signed the one alluded
to would have signed another one the
same day to remove them. Petitions
are becoming a farce.
An allusion was made to a wharf
boat just arrived and now lying al the
levee.
Upbu motion, further time was
granted the Committee, and Mr. Cart
right resumed the Chair.
The Committee on Fire Department
reported iu favor of allow ing William
Ryan $50 damages, incurred upon his
yrVtpises. This caused another lively
discussion, in which the tmiet ami
unobtrusive Gallagher put m his oar
and said that the property did not
belong to Ryan, who was merely a
tenant, but as Ryan had made the re
pairs at his own expense and claimed
XiQ, the report was tinally adopted.
The same committee on the petition
of Htovall A Blair, owners pf the Kit
Williams Block, w ho prayed that the
priyilege given parties to build a shed

mittee. A petition was received asking the
-cloM of privilege given un the 15th
01 June to build a wooden shed on

formlto improvement Committee.
A petition asking the suppression of
a dance house on Fourth street, be
tween Jerlerson and Court streets, was
granted.
A petition, numerously signed, was
then read asking a reduction of the
tax upon theaters. The Board wefe
evidently aware of the injustice ot the
former tax, and were prepared to make
a reduction in keeping1 with that of
other cities. A'Joeose gentleman of
the Board remarked that the season
tickets just distributed among the
members had no influence he was
sure upon the action of any member
.resent.
An ordinance was then read a -ee-nd
and final time making the tax
.sjoO instead of 314oo, as heretofore.
A petition asking permission to
build a shed upon the bluff was re
lerred to the Fire Committee.
C. B. Galloway A Co., formerly of
the Worsham House, asked that a
part of the tax paid by th.-m on above
hotel be refunded. It was referred to
the Metropolitan Poiice. Guess they
won't refund. Ko.
A petition from the fishermen lo
cated at the mouth of Wolf was read,
asking privilege to retain their pres
ent location. This petition created
some discussion, in w hich Capt. John
Ford, of the tug Xettie Jones, got a
turning over. It was referred to the
Landing Committee, and the Wharf
master was instructed not to molest
the petitioners until the matter is dis
posed of by the Committee.
A petition from the sale stable
keepers was then read, asking prot.-e-tion
from transient or strolling traders,

another shape. Ed.

W. II. Stevens relative to taxes as
sessed against the house lately occu
pied by Bishop Quintard, which is
church property, and not liable to
taxation. Managers of the Refuge of i
the Good Shepherd asking the use of
a portion of Exchange Building, the !
Navy Yark or other building for pur- j
poses of the institution. Citizens of;
Jefferson street extended in relation
la grading ami paving that -treef; and
some other petitions which were re
ferred without being read.
At this point mm Gallagher
moved to adjourn, but no attention
was pjtid to the motion.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
That a committee of three, consist
ing of Aldermen MofR-t, O'Donnell and
Joyce be appointed to confer with Mr.
WiMslruff of the Memphis and Ohio
Railroad, in reference to the right of
way through Winchester avenue,

have not been fulfilled, and that the
land reverts back to the donor. Re
ferred to Park Committee. The city
has spent over !. on this prop
erty. Ed.
A petition of the liquor dealers of
the city was referred to Ordinance
Committee without being read.
The Street Commissioner wc.Sj upon
mption, prdered to repair the Nichol
son pavement at corner of Main aud
Monroe streets.
A resolution directing the Landing
Committee and City Engineer to
visit Cairo, St. Louis, Louisville and
Cincinnati to examine into the mea as
adopted by these points to prevent
the caving in of their respective land
ings was lost for want of a second.
An ordinance prohibiting the saie of
less than a whole sheep, hog or goat
from wasons. except tipon payment of
a tax of ISMO, was very properly lost
by a vote of 0 to 9.
At this point Gallagher was full. lie
had a scheme to promulgate about
finances the weather, crops, stern
wheel steamboats, ferries, or some
thing, but a motion to adjourn, which
was carried, cut him oH and he quit
the hall thinking he was shabbily
treated persecuted for the sake of the
Union and his beaten ticket securely
pinned in his inside vest pocket.
