The following oommulottion from the Admint

DZEARTamNT OF IMPRovtzmrTAs.
New Orleans, March 6. 1877.
To the Honorable the OCity Oonoil:
entiornen- At a meeting of the Council, held
Tuesday, February 20, 1877, I introduced a reso
lutikn authortzing this department to advertise
for sale dredgehoats Nos. 1 and 4.
My action then was based upon the befief that
those boats were no longer of use to this depart
ment, and that their disposal by sale would be
the means of saving the city a considerable ex
pense.
Since, however, the City Surveyor writes me
that the said boats oan be of great benefit to the
city in dredging the Viln,tt Cans), from Barataria
Bayou to the intersection of Vinett's canal with
Market street, in the Fifth District, and at o her
points along the river front, and that their sale
at this moment w. uld be an injudicious move.
Under the circumstances I rNspeotfuyll recom
mend to the Council the repeal of the aforessad
resolution, passed February 20 1877.
I aiso deszre to have repealed the resolution
passed at the same meeting, authorizing the
dministrator of Improvements to advertise for
bids for the shelling of St. Oharles avenue, over
the Nicholson pavement, from Octavia street to
Louisiana avenue.
I find, upon examination, that my predecessor,
acting under provisions of act No. 73, 'f 1876, gave
public notice in the daily papers of the intention
of the eity to order the shelling of said avenue
and inviting objections thtreto. A majority of
the p:operty owners along said avenue, not pre
sentilg objections within the time prescribed,
nothing is ftrt the city but to order the work to
he done.
I, therefore, recommend the readoption of the
resolution, in order that the work may be com
menced at once.
JNO. McOAFFB&Y, Administrator.
Financial Business on Flnal Passage.
