Description

The Supreme Court had appointed a special jury to estimate the amount of land needed to build roadways from the city to Faubourg Saint Mary. The City Council gave seven reasons for its failure to take action on this matter. The Council resolved that the Mayor write the Judges of the Supreme Court to ask them to dismiss the special jury and not to appoint a new one since the Council did not intend to start construction of the streets at this time.
