The bond of William Turton, the con-
tractor who has the repairing of the north
levee from Sixteenth street to the bridge
was received and approved.
Bids for facing the north levee from
Burns slough to Brighton were received

former proposed to do the facing from the
slough TO the " beet-sugar building $500
feet-at 43 cents per yard and grassing the
same for $500; from the sugar factory D."
to the south line at 60 cents square yard,
and graSsing for $780, Or they would con-
tract to do all the wdfk for 80 cents per
yard and grass the same for $500. Ryan's
bid was that he would perform all the
work for IS cents per yard and grass the
same for 81 50 per 100 feet.
The bids figure up to about the same
amount, Sc, 800 Trustee Nielsen was of
the opinion that they were both too high.
| Others thought it would be wiser to spend
the money on the jetty dam. The levee
| proposed to be improved is in excellent
! condition, and if the jetty dams do their
work well the outlay proposed would be
| entirely useless The matter was taken I'M
! der advisement for one week. during
which time it will be looked into thor
oughly, and the Board will decide whether
| it is best to put the St, 800 into dams that
| will change the channel of the river, Orput
| it on the levee as above described
