In view of the necessity that some means
| for preventing repetiti0ns of losses and dis.

and improvements tending to the better
draining of the city should be so adapted
that those already finished or projected may
not be lost, but combined in some general
and definite plan, to be gradually matured

pubi1-spirited and competent engineers who
would willingly give their services without
remuneration in work tending so much
toward the public welfare
Be il resoUed, That the Common Council
elect Board of Engineer to mature and
recommend some general and harmonious
plan for the present and future draining of
the city OF New OrleaDs-said Board to con
