Winter,) and the total re- sources, including bridge tolls and taxes to be collected for the year, $22,140.
Some nuisances were not easily abated under the "peculiar and careful" tactics then understood, as appears from the min- utes of Council. In January, Alderman Brooks announced that a "house of ill fame" had been opened in the old Theatre building on Crawford street, "under the auspices and man- agement of Mr. Jones," to the great annoyance of families in the neighborhood ; and he moved that a committee be ap- pointed to inquire into the facts and report. At a subse- quent meeting the committee reported that "after a careful and laborious examination" they had satisfied themselves that "there was something decidedly rotten in Denmark; but

The work of surveying for the track of the Mobile & Girard Railroad was progressing this year. The Enquirer of the 2d of July reported one hundred and sixty miles of the route then surveyed by Engineer Cooper, accompanied by the President, Maj. R. S. Hardaway ; also that subscriptions ob- tained along the route exceeded the most sanguine anticipa- tions. The grading of the road for a distance of 150 miles from Girard had all been taken. [Not completed yet!] The officers of the Company were R. S. Hardaway, President ; W. B. Harris, Secretary ; Gen. Anderson and James Abercombie of Russell, John Egerton of New Orleans, Wm. A.
