GENTLEMEN: On the I'd day of
August, 1887, a contract was awarded
&. l.. Strobel for the erection of a

tend the time for the completion of the
bridge. AS the contract is now ready
for execution, l ask the council to fix
the date when said bridge shall be COM
pleted. Respectfully,
W.P. MURRAY, Corporation Attorney.
