Mr.. w. II. Workman, committee
of one from the Board of Trade and
citizens was granted the floor, and he
asked for an expression in regard to
vacant city lands on the river front. He
said that If the city would give the lands
to any railroad company, the company
will probably assist materially In build
ing levee from the city limits to Dow
ney avenue. He said that the land is
now worth nothing.
Mr.. Goss said that the Council Is no
doubt willing to make such donations Il
the company would give the city guar
antee that the levee would stand. If

than heretofore. we would be worse of
than ever.
