The board took no action on the communication, laying it on the table for disposition this afternoon. Mr. Collins's report follows:
"A part of your instructions on the report of an estimate of the cost of daily coal, additional, etc., together with my recommendations, will leave to report as follows:
"There is needed for the collection of grain as to prevent any nuisance existing in the city, at a cost of $1,500; forty sets of harness, at a cost of $1,100; seventy men, at $167 per day. The cost of feed will be $1 per day, cost of shoeing. There are in the city houses from which collections are to be made. If this work is to be done daily it will make a total of $5,600 calls for an average of $10,600 calls weekly."
