dered navigable at a reasonable cost
returned an adverse report, and act
lug upon such advice the engineer
ing department turned the proposi

be made at somo future date to re
consider the proposition depends up
on the members of tho commercial
club, some of whom have been very
active in hope that the Improvement
might be brought about.

sent a most striking appearance. In
some instances additional clerks are

porous along all lines.

such plac-es that need extra work, without washing the other
