New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-03-12

The bill provides for all the necessar,
checks and safeguards, in order that thu
drainage fund can not be squandered o.
embezzled, as was done under the act
1858.
This bill does not increase the burdens o
the taxpayers in any manner, neither Cal
any OF the swamp lands granted IN the ac
of 1869. until the canal is completed thu
entire distance. We, therefore, most re
spectfully recommend the passage of the
aforesaid bill.
