BY Mr.. Shaw:
To the City Council Of New Orleans
The undersigned, to whom was referred
the bill Of IL. A. SOuthworth. Recorder Of
Mortgages, respectfully report
The bill is for SS5ll for recording 2577 acts
of minors records. The rate charged is
three dollars for ordinary Inscriptions, and
the charge is doubled for those Of unusual
length.
This work is done in accordance with arti-
Gle l23 of the State constitution, and acts
95 of 1869 and IS Of 1870, passed in accord
ance Herewith. The inscriptions embrace
minors mortgages and privileges and de-
scriptions generally Of the property of sue
cessiOns.
They are so inscribed because they are
mortgages. The fee bill for the Office of
Recorder of Mortgages allows him one dol
lar and half for each inscription. Tech
nically. he could be limited to that; but We
have found some Of the inscriptions so long
as to justify an equitable additional COM
pensation. We report in favor Of paying as
follows:
For 2577 inscriptions at 81 80. SO, S65 so
Additional for long inscriptions 500 90
Total. .s4,3G5 so
We recommend the adoption of the sub
joined ordinance.

On the claim Of Mr.. Tracy Of thirteen
thousand dollars for making an abstract of
the inventory of miners, MIR. Walton re-
marked that this was ella i'm OF precisely
the same nature as that for which the Coun-

two hundred dollars. DR.. Southworth had
only charged eight thousand dollars against
Mr. Tracy's thirteen and hd naturally felt
that if one claim was allowed the other
ought to be.
