The City Council passed a resolution to allow the leaseholder of the municipal market, Jean Lanna, to construct a temporary shed at the site of the meat market that the hurricane of August 19 had destroyed. The lessee was to use wood from the original structure, but he could requisition nails and additional lumber from the Mayor. Slates and bricks from the old building were not at Lanna's disposal, and he was to bear all construction costs. When he had completed the shed, he was to destroy the temporary butcher stalls erected on the levee. Lanna's signed acceptance of the terms follows.
