CLERK, city marshal, city justice, Policeman

mit:ees.
The following report from the city eugi-
neer was then presented read and ordered
placed on file:
YANKToN, d. T., July list, 1878.
To HIS Honor the Mayor and City Council
efthe City Of Yankton.
In compliance with a resolution directing
the city engineer to examine the washout
port upon the same, I would say that af-
ter careful measurements find the excava-
tion to be 30 yards long with M average
depth Of 10 yards and width of IL yards,
making total of $500 yards, which could
be filled at cost of about 20 cents per yard
or for the sum of ($660) six hundred and
sixty dollars. A street could be graded
down through this defile with an easy grade
of say one In 20 with the proper bitches and
break waters to insure Its perfect safety from
cutting, for about three hundred dollars. 1t
is my opinion that the filling of this wash
out can not be made permanent without
driving piles at the outer side along and
parallel to the river band which of course
would add to the estimated cost of filling.
Respectfully,
ED. PALMER, City Engineer.
