General of Louisiana, under the confirmation

Gaines, for nineteen hundred and twenty tolses
SQUARE of land in and above the city OF New
Orleans, as it was in 1907.
The, claim rests upon the confirmation by
the commissioners OF the old board OF Loulsl-
ana, appointed under the not Of 1907, and two
acts of Congress, one in 1916 and the other in
1858, approving the confirmation by that
board The question seems to Re ono OF iden-
tity, al Judge Pascal insisted there was no
power to 60 behind the con6rmatory act of
Congress. Those opposed to Mrs. Gaines in

tyof land. They believe the commissioners
intended 1920 toises of land, instead OF l, 92O
toises square. The quantity Of land is 400
