SURVEYORS REPORT.

SURVEYORS OFFICE,
City of New Orleans, April 25 1868 ]
Hon. E. Heath, Mayor:
SIR-In compliance with your request of
March ID, 1868, TO furnish you with a re-
port of the operations Of this department,
/ have the honor herewith to submit to
your honor detailed and complete report
Of the condition of the works in charge of
my department, and to make such sug-
gestions as would necessarily tend to the
prosperity and welfare of our city.
wHARvEs AND LEVELS.
Upon my assuming charge of this de.
partment on the first day Of september,
1867, my attention was first directed to the
condition of the wharves In front of the
city, which were in very bad condition.
Upon examination found In the hrst dis
trict, the unexpired contract of Mr..
Henry Ellerman, contractor, tor the con-
struction of wharf to connect the Upper
Steamboat Wharf with the Texas Steam
ship Landing, which was completed and &C
cepted by me, on the twenty fourth day of
September, 1867. Upon sAe completion of
said wharf, city gangs Of laborers were EN-
ployed wheeling out sand ana hlling that
portion of the levee between the wharf and
ievee with river sand, taken from the bat
ture, and also grading the same; 10000
yards of sand was wheeled into the pit;
about 5000 more will complete the filing.
The wharf just completed and known as
the Texas Steamship Landing is one of the
finest and most substantial and eommOdi-
Gus landings the city has had for many years
past. The slips or inclines Of the said wharf
have been constructed In such manher
that freight can be placed aboard and dis
charged from she steamers with less ineon-
venience than heretofore.
The lower steamboat wharf below Canal
street Is in fair order The large wharves
Ia front OF the Beef market and Red stores
known as the Plcayune Tier. which had set
tied some three or Eve feet, and parted from
the bulkheads, were stripped Of the timber,
etc, aud rebuilt with 4 WharYes, aud the
levee reiilled with river sand, and graded
where the same had caved IN.
At posi- No. 25. third district, the piles OF
this wharf had sunk from the lower outside
corner. thereby causing the level Of the
Wlarfte sink two and half feet and have
a tendency 10 part nom the bulkhead aud
slide into the river. The said wharf has
been brought 70 the proper level By ralsiifg
the lower outside corner, and properly Sc
cured with fender piles.
Post No. 20, third district; neE piles

These amounts represent the amount paid
for labor in each year by this department,
but do not represent the entire amount
paid by the city, for a great deal of the
work was at the same time under contract.
In 1865. in four months, there was paid to
contractors more than thirty thousand dol
lars in addition to theamOuuf given above.
In 1866, more than onehundred and thirteen
Thousand dollars was paid in addition to
$253, $50 04, as above Ia 1867, up to the
end OF July, more than halt the city was
under contract, and more than twenty
thousand dollars was paid for cleaning and
repairing proper, in edition 20 S3l5, 943 IS
After July last, and up TO the present time,
all the cleaning contacts have ceased, and
only one ward for repairing is in force.
The family refuse, which is placed on the
sidewalk IN boxes aud barrels, instead Of
being thrown into the river, as formerly,
has IN many places been used to fill up
streets with; and when well rotted makes q
much better road than the ordinary mud
streets, being dryer and harder. In the
second district more than mile Of good
road has been made out Of s swamp. The
same also in the third district.
When the rate 1t which the city is
extending In the rear Is considered and
the large number Of small houses which
have ceen erected since 1854, it must be
obvious that the work Is to-day per
formed az a much more economical rate
than formerly. To perform she work Of
cleaning the city properly, situated a. this
city q, without any sewers OF underground
drama 70 carry on any portions Of The re-
fuse, not less than twenty thousand dollars
per month Is sufficient for the purpose Of

my predecessors; and make bold 10 assert
has been more thoroughly and efficiently
performed than heretofore. An examine

1868 will show the facts:
