To the Honorable Board Of Supervisors Of the

The Merchants Association had occasion on
December z, 1895, to protest against a system
Accompanying the protest was thorough re
port prepared at that time upon the contract
system by the consulting engineer OF TINS

siOns OF our engineer correct that further
