STATE OF LOUISIANA
| Executive Department.
| New Orleans, March Il. 1870
| To the Honorable Speaker and Members Of tn
House OF Representatives,:
| ] return to the House OF Representatives
| without my signature, an act entitled al
act to compensate E. H. Angamar anC
Charles lizard for their services and expen
ses as special Levee Commissioners OF The
State,r Tor the folio wing reasons:
The appointments were made withou
authority of law, and the commissioners ap'
pointed accomplished no good for the State
Had their mission been successful, they
might possibly have derived tn cir compen
sation out Of the negotiation of the bond;
for which they sought the endorsement o
Congress. The levee fund is derived from
tax assessed in accordance with the &C
authorizing the issue of four millions o
levee bonds, and is pledged by that act t.
the bondholders as fund to pay the inter
est as it accrues and the principal when
becomes due. and Can not be diverted with
out a breach of faith on the part OF tn
State.
Finally, if the appointment had been il
been rendered, the amount of the appropri
alton is, in my opinion, excessive.
(Signed) H. C. WARMOTH,
Governor of Louisiana.
