Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee of the Select and Common Councils of the City of Philadelphia: Respecting the Proposed Canal, Near the Western Abutment of the Permanent Bridge Over the River Schuylkill
Your committee, therefore, report, as the unanimous Opimon of the undersigned, that the interference of the Select and Common Councils, on the question herein con sidered, is necessary. They believe that the public ad vantage anticipated by its friends, would not be realized from the passage of the bill, and that the private inconve nience, foreboded to individuals, from its rejection, are in a great measure imaginary: such is the great and growing prosperity of the state and of its commercial metropolis, that every part of that metropolis must advance in im provement, value, and ornament.
