GENTLENEE-It becomes my duty to in.
tOrm your honorable body that the abrasion
OF the river at post Ne. Sc, third district,
has caused the leVee TO cave in to such an
extent that only about eight feet is left TO
protect the square blocking Of the street
from falling in the river. Twould respect-
fully suggest that four or five hatboats be
purchased, and bulkheaded every thirty
feet, and loaded with river sand, hoated op-
posite the bank, and laid end on the shore.
and scuttled at the outside end; thus allow.
ing them to settle down against the hank of
the river. The bottom of the boats will he.
come plank facing for the bank, and the
sand IN the boats, if properly secured, will
keep them in position.
l suggest the above method as being
cneap, anq may prove beneficial. The cost
Will be about three thousand dollars.

Your obedient servant,
W. II. BELL,
