MAyoRALrY OF NEW ORLEANS,

To the Honorable the Common Council: fss
Gendeme1,--The following preamble and reso-
luton are laid before me for my approval or dis
approval: r,..u.,,,. .,,o ,,.,,.. =, n,o,
erty holders paying taxes and licenses, OF the ba-
zaar situated between the Meat and Vegetable
markSts as q public nuisance and detrimental to
the public interests be IL, therefore,
q RESOLVED. That the street commissioner be
and he is hereby authorized and instructed to re-
move or cause to be removed, after one months
notice, any and all stands stalls, or other incum
s Msst aed
The stalls and stands constituting what is usu-
the me sOs The
privilege of collecting the revenues for the same
adjudicated to the highest bidder, and the mayor
authorized to entsr into notarial contract. Since
that time large income has been paid into the
am at a less to perceive In what manner
This bazaar, situated as II Is, can be
called nuisance. 1t interferes neither
vehicles, and certainly is no encroachment upon
che rights of the property hocers 10 its vicinity
The ground upon which Il stands belongs to the
city, and the articles of merchandise sold 81 It's
ILL A.. IAN mt nj har n nd
ehe eve or nostris Instead Of being " detrimental
to the public interests this bazaar Is thing OF
public convenience, as well as pubic revenue. IL
adjacent dealers in similar articles OF trade cannot
afford to vie In cheapness with the retail essees Of
the stalls and stands therein II Is certainly no fault
pfthe city government. On the contrary II duty
which we owe to, the poor people who deal with
these lessees toe give them every facility In our
power to supplistheir wants as eheapiy as posi-
: There Is, however, another reason, and one con-
elusive to my mind, why this bazaar should not be
removed sgreesbly to the above resolution. THIS
is no time TO curtal the revenues of the city. You
want every dollar which can be derived from our
market places for the payment of persons having
legitimate claims against the city. To deprive US
of any portion Of revenue springing from such
sources. would be as suicidal as the act of q man
In pecunisry distress who insists that bis already
small income should be still further curtailed and
his distress increased. t.r.E
As an evidence Of the value OF this bazaar as q
source Of income to the city, we find that it was
sold for s27 $50 IN 1866 for seventeen months. and
i have no doubt that IT might be made to yield an
annual income o. a, leas. sSo.Voo. lnuep n
pine stated ,ba cyinnleS conditon Of our
finances should prevent US from taking any such
steps as is contemplated by this resolution In

For the hrst time since the incorporation OF Uni
city IN 1906, $50 lar as State Legislation informi
ns,) the city laws and proceedings OF the counci
are published in two papers. As IL desirable
particularly at tins time, TO AVOID Gil unnecessary
outlay, the Common Counch nave asked II, 10 my
opinion, they are compeiied, under existing laws
to submit 10 the expense OF aouole auVertslng
The question Is an extremely important one, an(
