ENROLMENT COMMITTEE ROOM

March 2, 1870.
To the Honorable Speaker and Members of tn.
House of Representatives.:
GENTLEMEN-YOur Committee on Enroll
ment beg leave to report as having been
duly enrolled:
House bill No. IS, an act for the relief OF
P. J. Kennedy and to provide for the issue
OF bonds III payment OF indebtedness due
him.

Chairman.
Report received and accepted.
Mr.. Morey, of Ouachita, called up the
following veto message Of the Governor:
STATE OF LOUISIANA !
Executive department. :
New Orleans, January j, 1870
To tho Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House Of Representatives,:
l return to the House of Representatives
an act entitled " An act TO incorporate the
Arkansas and Red River Railroad Company,
and granting aid to the same" without
my signature, for the following reasons:
have no objection to urge against grant.
log charter to the gentlemen whose names
appear as lncorporatOrs in this act, but do
object to granting them the aid of bonds
drawing eight per cent interest with the
promise to pay several hundred thousand
dollars interest annually on their bonds, the
repayment OF which would be secured only
by second mortgage on the railroad, it
having been previously mortgaged for the
SUN OF titteen thousand dollars per mile,
with the force and effect Of first mort
gage.
1t ia proposed to run this railroad from
the mouth of Red river, northward to the
Arkansas State line, between the Ouachita
and The Mississippi rivers. BY reference
to the map. it will be observed that the
means of transportation for the inhabitants
OF that section Of the State are. perhaps, the
'SSS
y point equi distant between the Ouachita
and Mississippi rivers is nowhere greater
than twenty miles, while the Black River
Bayou Macon, Bayou BGuf and Teusas river
are all traversing the country between them,
and are navigable for small steamers half
the year. 1t would be, in my opinion, worse
than folly for the State, in its present en-
barrassed financial situation. to extend it's
deprecated credit to this enterprise. There
a a sfuln in thn ~
,he act The language OF the last part Of
section seventeen, on the first page, does
lot make sense in connection with that on
,be following page. l find it impossible to
reconcile the language and substance of the
.wO pages.
(Slgned) H. C. WARMOTH,
Governor of Louisiana.
