SURVEYORS 0tPIcE, |
City Hall Febluar II, 1876. |
n the CITY Council Of New Orleans:
In compliance with instructions conveyed
in a resolution adopted by your Honorable
body. I have had a thorough examination
.nd survey made of the wharves, landings,
etc.. and now have the honor herewith to
the result in the accompanying
detailed report OF b. NJ Harrod, ESD as
,istant surveyor in charge, showing the G
,mnnnt and character of work performed
nv the iessees, Messrs Eager, Ellerman q
r. from the commencement OF their lease
10 February /, 1870.
The lease was entered into on the twenty
ninth of June, 1875. and active work con-
nenced early in July. The wharves 1t that a
time we're mostly in q dilapidated cond:-
ion, requiring large amount OF repairs
md rebuilding to place them in q service
lblc order for the approaching winters bss-
ness. "
A large amount of substantial ara per G
uanent work has been executed, as will
,e seen bv Mr. Harrod's report, and the
Material and workmanship has been fully
10 to the required standard.
It was impossible, in the limited time be- +
ore the arrival OF shipping and before 4
ctiye commercial traffic begun, to execute | b
very bit of work that was needed, and in fl
he manner most desirable, and therefore 4
It many points the lessees were instructed | a
o make euch temporary repairs as would | a
insure the largest amount of wharf surface g
q condition for the transaction OF business t
,efore the time arrived when their working b
perations would be necessarily interfered
Nth by the requirements of commerce. d
The practical benefits of this course have b
,een verified in the fact that larger v
mount of shipping is now accommodated Il
q port than has been here for many years, | il
md better facilities afforded for the tran. "
action OF business for so large number OF 1t
essels. Il
1t is due to the lessees to state that they. fl
ave always evinced a spirit of willingness
0 execute promptly and with energy all Al
emanating from this depart "
lent. b.
l believe that with the work already &C.
together with that which is
to be done during the ap-
roaching summer, when the lull in bust Of
ess will admit Of it, the warves by re
ext fall will be in more substantial and al
condition than for many years ~,
ast, throughout the entire length Of the
ity. Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS S. HARDEE,
City Surveyor. "a
