One of the considerations which the City Council will have in mind in granting any franchise to a railroad company for a line through Front street will be the protection of the ap proaches to the river on Broad and Commerce streets, if on no others. The time is coming—it may he a matter of but a short time, or It may be one of years—when Flint river will give to Albany much tower freight rates than she now enjoys. These lower rates will come when a regular line of steamboats begins plying be tween this city and the Gulf Sf Mex ico. With the river at her door, Al bany throws away thousands of dollars In freight rates and loses hundreds Shaving Brushes, 25c to $1.50. 75c. Hilsman- , : - Clothes Brushes, 25c to $1 of thousands of dollars in trade every year by failing to utilize it as a means to an end greatly to be desired. With the city's increased size end impor tance, It Is inconceivable that she should much longer neglect the oppor- tunity which the river brings to her gates. / In passing through Flint street, the railroads desiring to secure certain grants from the city will construct a tunnel -and make cuts of considerable depth. On account of the future of Pn.clipc the rirer traffic, and its inestimable J3cUU AJJU&UC&, benefits to Albany, the city author! ties will be careful not to have the ap proaches to the river Jeopardized, the two principal approaches being through Broad and Commerce streets. The franchises desired by the A. & N. and G. N. roads will probably be considered by the City Council at its next regular meeting, which may be held Monday night
