Pelletier reported that he had inspected the work under way behind the slaughterhouse. He asked that the vessels bringing necessary revetments be allowed freely to dock and upload at the site. He urged the demolition of the bridge behind the building, as it was in rotten condition and presented a safety hazard. He suggested that the City employ two Negroes to accompany the two whites who supervised the black chain gangs. Finally, he outlined changes necessary to facilitate the drainage of water in the streets.
