Ofthis amount 1884 II was for permanent
improvements, leaving the ordinary ex-
penses of the department $65.523 90. The
total expenses for May are $l976 GA less
than the monthly allowance under the bud
get for 1871. They are, however, swollen by
the item of Leeds Il Co., $16,6l9 20 for new
engine, boiler, etc. at the London avenue
draining machine, which work was rendered
absolutely necessary to supply the place of
the Orleans street draining machine.
The usual work of the bureaus of this de-
partment was performed, and much atten-
ton was paid to the repairs Of street
bridges, with good results. Portions of the
shell roads of the city were repaired, at a
cost of about $4,000.
During the month this department re-
ceived from the late commissioners of the
second drainage district the Dublin avenue
draining machine, and all property per-
tanning thereto; also dredge boat valued
at about $4,000. The machine is now in
full operation, and the dredge boat has
been turned over to the Mississippi and
Mexican Gulf Ship Canal Company.
