and grade established is shown in the
number of new buildings going up near

income from the city from these improve
mentS should encourage the city council to
give the citizens the very best roads that
can be afforded

one built Large rents are being offered

few houses to rent and no frst-class ones.
The making of the levee dumping
ground is causing much dissatisfaction.
Yesterday four finely-painted steamers had
to tie up among the city offal, as there is no
place to tie to at the levee proper, but at
the south end where the dumping is going
on there are number of piles to which
they can tie up. One has made use of the
boiler of the burnt steamer Penn Wright.
The vessel men say that so far they never
had to stop among such filth as they have
encountered at the Saltwater leyee. This
is not very creditabe report for vessel
men to make, and no doubt the deposit Of
any more filth on the levee will be stopped.
