Report by the Administrator of Assess
ments on the petition of ID. Tureaud,
physician, No. 134 Rampant street.
DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS.
City of New Orleans, July S, 1870.
The petitioner says he called, through his
attorney. at the proper time, to pay his city
tax fer the year 1868, but was unable to
find any tax bill against him.
His drug store has now been seized by
the sheriff for the nOn-payment of a tax
bill against d. Fineaud which is not his
name, although the tax was assessed OH his
property.
l find the error was made in copying the
tax roll, by misspelling the petitioners name,
+. being substituted for T. Inasmuch as
petitioner tried to pay his tax at the proper
time, but was prevented from doing SO by
the error mentioned, l recommend relief,
and offer the annexed resolution.
Very respectfully
H. BONZANO,
Administrator of Assessments.
Resoired. That the City Attorney instruct
the Sheriff to receive from d. Tureaud the
sum of fifteen dollars. in full payment for
the tax bill of 1868, made out enormously,
in the name of D. Fineaud.

To the Honorable the Mayor and Council of the
city of New Orleans:
GENTLEMEN-Th The report of the Administra
tor of Commerce on Mr.. d. Claverie's claim,
referred to this Office, has been considered.
In the absence of any ordinance creating
the offices of ''cOmmissary of private mar
kets' and superintendent of public and
private markets." am of opinion that the
late Mayor of the city of New Orleans had
Claverie to such offices. If Mr.. Claverie has
valuable services in good faith he
may be entitled to compensation, but not to
any salary as such officer.
