Union Stock Yard Development in the Ninth Ward, 1916
Series
Scope and Contents
Correspondence, resolutions, petitions, and related documents dealing with the successful effort of the Company to gain approval for the operation of stock pens within the city limits. The process involved the defeat of an ordinance designed explicitly to make such ventures illegal. The petitions may be useful in identifying residents of the Lower Ninth Ward, local butchers, and state-wide livestock interests.
