	It was realized in June, 1849, that the plan for a Dubuque harbor,which seemed most likely to be best, was to build a levee out to ~~themain~~ channel and fill in the intermediate sloughs.

	Main street was vastly improved — bumps were cut down and hollows filled. Many shade trees were planted in Dubuque in 1849; it was almost a "fad" at this time. In March, 1849, the public was given notice of the approaching charter election and of the fact that voters would be required to decide whether the city should borrow $7,000 for public improvements, etc.. and for establishing a free ferry.
