The following message from the mayor was read
and received:
MAYOsALTY OF New ORLEANS,
Cry Hall. July %, 1868.
To the Honorable Common Council:
Genttmen-Ths fullo wing resolution passed nv
The Boards Of Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen
has been laid be fore me:
RESOLVED, That the controller shall, after the
passage OF this resolution aud approved by the
mayor ajudicaie after ten DAYS notice 10 the a fl
cisl Journal 10 the highest bidder and in accord
ence with the mar et ordinances the revenue of
the DTyades market, for one mosth or to the 81 II
OF December, 1868, the city reservng the right 10
snnul the lease ia one days notice without
damages.
When indicted into Office by authority of ar.
ticle 604, LeOyy's Digest, page 2S9, | appointed a
collector for Dryades market. He gave bond
with good and solvent securities, and was duly
commissioned. Since his entrance upon the duties
OF The cOliectorsbip, the market has yielded It's
accustomed revenue at this season, and the inter.
ests oil the city are vigilanty watched and fully
protected.
The collector receives from the occupants of
stalls, stand etc. the dues usually paid to a far
mer, in city potes, which are regularly deposi ed
ID the treasury IL Is obvious that if the market
was iarme0 OUT according to the above resolution
the farmer would pay the purchase money in city
notes, and the occupants Of stalls, stand. ETC. he
compelled 10 pay their dues IN greenbaeks. Whilst
this would rebound TO the interest of one man the
said occupants would suffer. zee no reason wby
this Irviege should be given 10 one person at the
expense OF butchers, vegetable and fruit vendors
especially when some of Them receive city notes
az iess IMAM the ruling rates of discount from pur-
cbasers of the Decessaries of life.
BY reference To article 597, Leovy's DIGEST
page ZS1, ~ Will he seen that the resolution ia A
violation OF the letter and spirit of the Law. The
article makes II the imperative duty OF the con-
uoller 20 sJudlcae, or cause to be aiudicated AZ
his Cfhce, after ten days official notice on the first
Monday Of December Of each year, the cole, ton
oil the revenues OF the markets, separately, for
one year. The article following declares that the
farmers or lessees shall pay one twelfth in cash
and the balance from the frs of January a. l. 2
3, 4, 5, 6, T. 8, 3, 10 aud IL mOn,hs. Should any
farmer or lessee TAI to comply with the stipula.
lions OF said article, the controller must cause
new sdjudics ion to be made forth VITA !" that ia
10 say, IN the month of December.
The OBJECT Is plain. IL is to compel farmers or
lessees 10 pay one twelfth cash, the first install.
ment 10 december, so that the second insta lment
due on the first OF January aud installments fol.
lowing should come regularly into the city
treasury.
Otherwise the controller would be engaged at
uncertain intervals in the work of adjudication,
and this lTregularity would seriously inconye- |
nleDce public officers and make the farming srs |

cations were ordered TO be made ia mid winter be.
