SEPTEMBER 20; 1870

1861 the city agreed to pay the ''shin-plas-
ters +" issued by individuals upon their CIV
ing security for the amount. BY the books
of this office it appears that the city paid
more of Mr.. Hollis notes than he had pro-
yided means for under the ordinance, and
as he found it convenient to leave about
that time, suppose the military govern
ment of the city tried to collect the deticien-
CIV from his property. In this they appear
to have failed, for although the account
shows credits of Confederate money, yet
there is still balance due from Mr. Holt.
am informed by his attorney that a suit
has been instituted in the Fifth District
Court by Mr. Holt, against the city, for the
recovery of the amount claimed.
It can hardly be doubted that we shall be
able, on the trial of the case, to make sue
cessful defense, and perhaps establish
claim against him for the balance due on
the account.
l therefore recommend that Mr.. Hollis
petition for a compromise be rejected, and
ask to be relieved from the further consider
atiOn of the subject.

To the City Council of New Orleans:
1 have examined the memorial Of j. L.
GubernatOr, referred to me on the thirteenth
of September, 1870.
He asks to be paid in cash the sum of
(s66S5 6S) sixty-six hundred and eighty
five dollars and sixty-eight cents, for which
he received, in July last, certificates bear
ing seven per cent interest.
He bases his claim upon the alleged fact
that the amount was for timber used in the
construction of the wharves, under an
emergency order of the Mayor, which was
issued in December, 1869, in response to
which an ordinance was passed pledglng
the levee dues for the payment OF the work
He argues that his case involves the same
principles as that of Eager, Ellerman y Co,
upon which reported August 81, 1870.
l think he is mistaken for they claim a
settlement under the ordinance, while he
waived whatever right he may have had,
and accepted the certificates in payment OF
his account.
l can not recommend that the settlement
should be unsettled. and ask to be relieved
from the further consideration Of the sub

To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition of Mr.. Jacob HOlzenthal
erect a soap factory at the corner OF JOSEPH
inc and Magnolia streets, together with tW
counter petitions, was referred to this IL
partment September l3. 1870.
The reasons set forth in the counter pet
tons are. that the prosecution OF this bus
ness at the point named would be contrar
to good sanitary regulations. -.
On this subject have consulted scientifi
men connected with the Board OF Health
and bv them am informed that where I'll
manufacturer renders fat he should be- +
auired to use steam-tight tanks, but II !
uses only fat already rendered, there can
no sanitary objection ...
therefore recommend that the petitio
of Jacob Holzenthal to erect soap factor
at the corner of Josephine and MagnOl
streets be granted, provided that III rende
ing fat he use steam-tight tanks.
