Adopted
By Mr.. Cockrem:
Resolred, That wharf bonds. at the rate
of ninety cents on the dollar, be issued to
the following contractors for reconstruct
ing, extending and repairing wharves:
Eager, Ellerman & Co., on account Of work
On first and second sections, as per certii-
cate No. l0S of the Department Of Improve
ments for $20OU0, equal III bonds, at ninety
cents on the dollar, to So, 222 %.
Michael Carvin, on account of work on
third and fourth sections, as per certificate
No. l09 of the Department Of Improve
ments for 100000, equal in bonds, at ninety
cents on the dollar, to Sill iii II.
In explanation Mr.. Cockrem said that
81, 100000 had been appropriated for wharf
repairs, OF which sum eight hundred and
odd thousand dollars had been expended
When the entire million was gone it was
proposed to stop, but the extensives caves
in the levee in the Third District had not
yet been made good. These bonds were
issued at ninety cents on the dollar, and
were being constantly redeemed by the city
at seventy-four and half cents on the
dollar, which was good bargain for the
city.
Mr.. Walton said it was a very good bar
gain if the work could not be avoided, but
it seemed as if there was no end to these
repairs to the wharves.
Mr.. Bonzano said citizens complained
that there was great amount of money
expended and no improvements to show for
1t. He had simply brought up this discus
sion to show that there was considerable
required to keep things as
they were.

Mr.. Walton remarked that the wharves
were continual source of expense.
The resolution was adopted.
