The following report was read sad orerred

Dao'AnfnfaiT oF . v1itN.Kt etT, I
new Orleassu December 11, 1877. T
To the Oty Council:
G(enten~7tn-Upon the petition of citienss re
siditng between Claiborne, Lseplanade, Oarondelet
Walk and Broad streets, complaiolng of insuffl.
dent drainage, I beg leave to report that this is
but a revetition of many nomplaints made re
oently by citinzis upton the same subject.
Duraig the pest sixty days petitions have been
rcelved from residentl s of the resr of the teventh
Ward, asking to be relieved from the payment of
tales on eacount of ltjuries done to their prop.
erties by overflow. Mince that time a petition
was received from Widow T. Livsudals, reslding
at the corner of Galver, and Dnmaine streets
asking relief for damage to a valuable flower
garden, caused by overflow from the heavy rains
of the 28th October, lasting two days.
These, together with numerous complaints
made to this department, go to sbow conotusive
iv that the prime cause arises from the foat that
the contractors for tunning the draining ma
chines are not performing their dute as t re
quired by the speoflcations.
Although the city charter and ordinances
makes it the duty of this department to suter
vise the drainage of the city, I am prevented
from discharglug subh duty by the refusal of a
majority of the Councll to authorize the appoint
ment of come asuitable person to direct a falthfui
compliance with the requirements of the spoiBca
tions by the drainage contractors, who have.
since the introduction of the contract system,
been free to do as they please in such matters,
The action of the Oounnil in authorizing the
construction of a flnot-gate on Per;ple,' Avenue
canal will tend to relieve the section drained by
London Avenue draining machine very mate
rilly, as the portion of said canal south of the
flood-gate oan Ie used as a reservoir to receive
much of the drainage of the lower portion of
said section.
In December, 1876, the Board of Underwriters
made overtures looking to the connection of
Claiborne canal at iCapllnade street and plans
and speolfloations were fur, isbed for that pur
pose. The completion of this work would not
only furnish water in case of fires but would
also relieve Orleans and Broad street canals of
the waters draining from the section between
Toulouse, Esplanade street Misstssippi river and
Olaiborne street, and would thereby obviate in a
great measure the complaints herein alluded to.
The condition of the Itienville draining ma
chine warns me to urge upon the Council at this
time the establishment of a new anid nmore pow
erfnl machine at the City Park, on the Orleans
canal.
The construction of such a machine, together
with the introduction of metal pipes at Broad
end Galvrz streets to connect the second and
third drainage sections, with a strict surveillance
over the contractors, would, in my opinion, serve
to remove all the present drainage ditlioulties.
As the time is approobhing when the Council
will be called upon to adopt a budget of expendi
tures, et., for the coming year, I trust the subjects
herein referred to will receive the earnest atten
tion of my colleagues, as it is one of the ntmoat
importance to the whole community.
Respectfully submitted,
JNO. MoCAFFItRY, Administrator.
