the Verret canal with Market street, in the
Fifth District, and at other points along
the river front, and that their sale st this
moment would DO an injudiciOus move,
under the circumstances l respectfully
recommend to the Council the repeal of the
1877.
l also desire to have repealed the resOlu-
tion passed at the same meeting, authOriz-
ing the Administrator of improvements to
advertise for bids for the shelling of St.
Charles avenue, over the Nicholson pave
ment, from Ootavia street to Louisiana ave-
nue..
find, upon examination, that my prede-
cessor, acting under provisions of act No.
~ of 1876, gave public notice in the daily
papers of the intention OF the city to order
the shelling of said avenue and inviting OBJ
ejections thereto. A majority of the prop.
erty owners along said avenue not present
ing objections within the time prescribed,
nothing is left the city but to order the work
to be done.
l therefore recommend the resdoption of
the resolution, ia order that the work may
be commenced at once.
