	Dubuque's South Port since the 1870s was a maze of roadways, railroad right-of-ways and businesses. Carr and Austin planing mills supplied lumber yards north of the [[ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD]] roundhouse. The [[RYAN PACKING COMPANY]] was located between Water and Levee [[STREETS]] near Jones. A coal yard, perhaps used by the railroad roundhouse and steamers moored at the levee, was located between Levee (now Terminal Street) and Water streets. Avenues were raised to lift them above the sloughs which were gradually filled. (2) A public levee and wharf ran parallel to Levee Street.

For these reasons, the council rescinded the contract. (5)		In 1876 this contract between the company and the city came under review.
