Engineer Department.

The Engineer Department has during the past year attended to its
manifold duties in a way wholly satisfactory to the Mayor, and with
great credit to its management.

The Houston Street paving; The design for new sewer systemsin the
Seventh and Eighth Wards; Completion of Storm Sewer work; Remodelling
and relaying many old sewers and construction of several miles of new
ones; The building of several school additions, and the construction
of emergency Fifth Ward School, the supervision of Mead work,
and all the manifold hundreds of smaller duties of the office, have been attended
to with so much dispatch, and with great economy, as to com-
mand the unqualified commendation of the Council;

An inspection of official reports from other Cities, in Texas
and elsewhere warrants the statements that we have one of the best administration
run , and wholly the most economically run, engineer departments
in the United States.
