The following report Of Mr. r.. w. vii
was, OH motion, authorized to contract for
the building Of two cutters, at such places
and In such manner as recommended in the
report
70 the Mayor and hoard Of Aldermen
We, the undersigned street committee,
have had the Corporation hands employed
for the past fifteen days in removing OBJ
structions. grading and filling up with brick
balls in front Of the Steamboat landing,
which we considered very important and
should be done.
We also find that large portion Of The
Flstboat landing cannot be used, on account
of two or more large gully holes, which are
and continue TO be washed out by the
water, entering from the bridges crossing
front street, AM cuts off all communication
to that portion Of the landing.
| would therefore, recommend that
wooden conductors be made and attached To
each bridge crossing front street, Of suffi-
cient length to conduct the waters down
to the river edg and fill up the gulleys.
The probable cost OF each conductor and
filling up, will be about = 90, and ina my
humble opinion, will add greatly to the tiU-
rability as well as the appearance Of that
portion Of the landing.
With respect, submit the following re-
port TO your further consideration.
