To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House of Representatives.:
GENTLEMEN-Your Committee on Claims
would respectfully report that they have
carefully investigated the claim for c0mpen-
sation submitted to them by Edward Gott-
he'll for his services as State agent and
Chief Commissioner of Louisiana at the late
Paris Exposition, and have duly weighed
the reasons urged by his Exeellency the
Governor in his message to your honorable
body OF the second ultimo in behalfof an ap-
preparation in favor of Mr.. Gottheil, which
shall be suitable remuneration for the ex-
penses incurred and for his faithful and sue
cessful eXertiops in behalf of the State, and
have come to the conclusion that Justice re-
quires that bill for his relief should be
passed by the General Assembly. From
home and foreign journals, and especially
from our own community, Commissioner
Gotthiel has received the commentator
due Tor his laudable, untiring and eminently
successful labors for the material interests Of
Louisiana. The vote of thanks which recently
passed both Houses Of the General Assembly
is but an evidence of the manner in which
his efforts are appreciated BY his fellow citi-
zens. Mr.. Gotthiel, however, expended large
sum of money and devoted two wears Of
steady exertion to secure proper represen-
tation and recognition of the skill, Industry
and resources of the State at the Exposition.
Governor Wells, who appointed him, did so
with tho fha tu4a "a
award him due remuneration for his ser
vices. Under these circumstances consid.
er1Dg so good laborer to be worthy of his
hire, and believing that the honor of the
State requires that this justice should be
done MIR. Gotthiel, we respectfully recon-
mend the passage OF the following bill.
