Of effecting a settlement with A DuplantleF,
late collector and Treasurer of the Parish on
account of taxes due on the rolls of 1888 and
1889 beg leave to report, that they have made
every possible effort for an amicable settle
ment of the whole matter, but regret to say,
with but little prospect of success. On re-
ference to the amounts, and settlements here
tofore rendered by Mr.. DupIantier, and ap-
proved, and accepted by the Jury, it appears
there is a balance of seventeen hundred dol
lars due on the rolls Of those years. The a.
gent cf Mr.. Dupianrier informs the committee
that he is instructed by his principal, to offer,
in liquidation of the amount, valid claims a.
gainst delinquent tax payers, for those years,
10 be approved of, and accepted by the present
collector and treasurer, upon condition that
his principal be fully discharged, upon the
approval and reception of those claims by the
present collector and treasurer, and the COM
mittee herewith report a resolution to that eff
feet, and recommend its adoption as the last
means Of settling this troublesome and vexed
question, which has already TOO long taxed
the time and atten ion of the Jury without
any beneficial result. On enquiry and exam
nation the committee have aseertained that,
Nj. Duplantier failed to execute bonds accor-
ding to law as Parish Treasurer for those
years, and it is believed that an action against
him individually would not avail much.
The committee in conclusion recommend
the adop ion ofthis report, and accompanying

the further consideration of the subject.
