the objects in view. 1t is believed that the

| Legislature, entitled, respectively, can act
to limit the Indebtedness of the city of New
Orleans passed in 1856, and San act to
limit and equalize municipal taxation in the
city of New Orleans" passed In 1856.
ReSotoed, That the ordinance is defective
in not providing specially for the final pay
ment OF the whole issue by the application
OF the surplus of the amount produced by
the proposed tax.
Resolued, That inasmuch as the Legisla-
ture. will be in session by the time said
bonds could be prepared, it is expedient,
proper and prudent that said ordinance be
resclnded, and new and well dgested act
be prepared and submitted for approval by
the Legislature.
ResoIUed, That until said city notes are
funded the Council be requested TO make
no new contracts, and to cancel all contracts
now existing which have not been strictly
complied with.
A true copy. SAMUEL FLOWER,
