ing report on ordinance providing for pay
ment Of labor ETC., referred to them at last

Your finance committee reports that it
will not be necessary to pass the within
ordinance, as there will be sufficient bal
ance in the appropriation for drainage
purposes for the current year to cover the
expenditures referred to herein, your com
mi,tee therefore recommends that action
on the ordinance be indefinitely postponed,
and that the expenditures herein referred
to be paid out the current appropriation
for drainage purposes.

On motion of Alderman Wood report
received and recommendation concurred
in.
Joint committee submitted the following
report relating to matter contained therein:
To the City Council
The joint committee to whom was re-
ferred the communication OF Mr.. g. Hamil-
ton, general superintendent st. Louis g.
Cairo K. r. company, dated Feb. 22d, 1889,
respectfully report thereon as follows:
Your committee are satisfied that the
proprosition contained in said communica-
ton must have been made without due ex.
animation into, and consideration of, the
facts and circumstances connected with the
ownership and copdition Of the !evees upon
which tracks are proposed to be laid.
The old levee, between its intersection
with the New Levee and its intersection
with the Ohio Levee, is owned by Trustees
of Cairo Trust Property and st. Louis &
Cairo K. X. Co, and the city cannot GER
tainly be expected to give consideration for
the work proposed to be done by said X.
r. Co. on that Leyee.
The work proposed to be done on New
Levee by the r. r. Co. as consideration
for the privileges to lay down and operate
its tracks thereon, would, as nearly as your
committee can estimate, amount to about
one. fortieth as much as the work already
done by the city on said Levee. The city
could hardly be expected to grant such
valuable privilege for so triaing return,
and your committee do not think that the
Clty's New Levee ought to be given over
to any railroad company, without strong
pledges and guarantees for its maintenance
and protection, which are not offered IN
the communication above referred to.
The committee therefore recommends
that said proposition be not accepted. Your
committee also recommends that the city
clerk be instructed to notify Mr.. Hamilton,
supt st. Louis & Cairo r. X. Co., that this
committee awaits reply to Its proposition
made year ago, and that the committee is
ready and willing to further confer upon
the subject matter at any time.
