FILLING OF THE SLOUGH
General Thomas H. Williams, of San
Francisco, addressed the following to the
| Board
! Hon. J. Q. BrOlW-DEAR SIR: I see that there
is some talk in your city of filling China slough.
| | am engaged in the dredging business, and !
| think we have the best machines in the world
| for that business If payment for the work is
| properly guaranteed, China basin can be cheaply
! filled. If ut any time the city authorities con-
! clude to undertake the work, will be pleased
| to bid on it. T. H. WILLIAMS.

the work could be done for y! cents per
cubic yard. He was of the opinion that a
! syndicate Of citizens would take the rail
road company's offer and fill the lake for
the lots If they did so they could make
| $4,000 on the transaction as they would
thus secure twenty full lots, S0x16O, in what
must eventually be the most valuable bust
ness property in the city.
Trustee Nielsen said he was of the opin-
ion that the Sacramento Board of Trade
would accept the proposition and commence
the work Immediately.
Christopher Green appeared and asked
that additional tfre-plugs be put in in the
