City of New Orleans, May "a 1870
To the Honorable the Council OF the City of New
A communication from the St. vincent's
Infant Asylum is offered herewith, having
been under consideration by this depart
r0ent.
It is found that the allowance by the city
ofIbwo hundred dollars (S200) per month to
e6e founding branch of that establishment
Goes not suffice, with such private contribu-
tions as are available, to support the ex-
pense. The city has heretofore also fur
nished forage for five (5ycows and one ~
mule, and ten (l0) cords Of wood, monthly.
The petition OF Sister Mary Agnes asks Tor
8 continuance of this allowance.
Conceiving it to be an imperative duty on
the part of the city authorities to contribute
TO the prOvision for helpless infants deserted
by, or deprived Of their parents, and 1t
having been demonstrated to the under
signed that the curtallment OF the provl.
sion hitherto made to the st. vincent
Asylum is occasioning distress to the help
less inmates, and embarrassment to the
who sustain the charge thereof,
the undersigned respectfully reports the
resolution and recommends
it's adoption.

is hereby authorized to expend

same to charity in the expenditures OF that
department.
