STATE OF LOUISIANA |
Executive Department. , |
New Orleans, march 3, 1870 |
TO the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House OF Representatives:
return to the House of Representatives,
without my signature, an act entitled IAN
act for the relief of the officers and men,
bers of the Metropolitan Police, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First, The law prescribes the salary of each
officer of the police force, and he has taken
the office with the understanding that he
shall receive so much and no more, and il is
unjust to make discrimination between
police officers and other officers and cred
itors OF the corporations affected by the bill.
Second, 1t Is not a fact that SO large dis.
count as thirty per cent has been suffered at
all times during the
