carried out during the month. The
ordinance compelling the removal OF mer-
chandise from the levee within twenty-tour
hours from time OF being landed, passed in
month of December. has already worked
mucn good. as is shown by comparatively
clear 1evee. The repairs to wharves are
progressing favorably and gradually ap-
preaching completion.
This department labored under much
difficulty during the month to keep the
streets of the city clean. on account OF
heavy and frequent rains. but am pleased
to say that they now present very respect
able appearance.
