! To the City Council Of New Orleans
| Petitioner SAYS that his property. in
| square 4O9 third assessment district. has,
! for a few years back, been assessed at a
| price greatly beyond its real value, and
| asks to have the assessment for 1869 re-
duced from $4,000 to-the amount tor which
| it is assessed for the current year. viz: $2ooO
| The amount for the current year forms
no criterion for preceding years, and can
| not be construed to confer a privilege for
rehearing The demands on this depart
ment are interminable. and can not be
entertained. without throwing the whole
| revenue system of the city into utter con-
| fusion. Except in cases where 1t Is shown
that the appeals of petitioners have been
ignored through neglect of duty, or through
spitefulness en- the part OF city ofhclaI,
| whereby the cause of justice would suffer,
I will not recommend the reopening OF tax
| rolls for past years. unless the council
should especially direct me to do so.
therefore report untavorably.,

To the City Council OF New Orleans:

| drew from their firm in the month of Au
gust of that year. They complain OF the
assessment as excessive, and ask to have
