Description

Unique IDA-00298497SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 8th October 1866 and 24th October 1866Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionPetition. Ratepayers and residents of Pyrmont and Glebe. There has existed for the last thirty years a ferry landing steps at the foot of Market Street, and they have heard that Council is doing away with the steps. This will deprive them of the services of the boats and would be an inconvenience should the 'Pyrmont Swing Bridge get out of order which it is very apt to being a very complicated piece of machinery'. They ask to have landing steps erected upon the New Wharf that is now under construction. There is a note by Edward Bell, City Engineer that a flight of steps about 5 feet wide could easily be made. There is a note that it will be carried out.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
