To the City Council of New Orleans:
Petitioner complains that he is taxed
$4,000 income derived as president of the
Germania National Bank, in 1869, while, IN
fact, he was not the president Of the bank
in that year, and did not receive compensa-
ton as such. He asks for the abatement
and remission of the tax.
am satisfied that his statement is correct,
and would cheerfully support his request,
| in order to vindicate this department from
| constant aspersiOns, and for the love OF JUS
| tee generally; butDne circumstance in CON
| nection with petitioners tax bill, changes
| the merits of the case entirely.
Close examination into the subject OF
| complaint. develops the fact, that the peti-
| toner is the senior member. and the
moneyed man of large commercial house
| i'll this city, and that as such he IS only as
sessed with eight thousand dollars on cap
| ital. when he should have been taxed Tor
| double or triple that amount.
| have come to the conclusion, that on the
whole. he has nothing to complain OF, and
therefore report untavorabl".

ments on the petition Of Louis Gunther,

district.

To the CITY Council of New Orleans:
The petition of l.. Gunther shows that he
failed to make return of capital invested
in business in the year 1869, that in conse-
| uuence of this neglect the assessor of the
fifth district rated and booked his capital at
$4,000.
This assessment he complains. is eXces-
sive in the extreme and he shows by his
own affidavit. and that of his boOk-keeper,
and also of his agent, that his capital at the
beginning of the year 1869 Amounted to only
S3649 &c.
| am satisfied the assessment is extrava-
CANT, and was not made in the exercise OF
good and correct Judgment. Yet. petitioner
having failed to make his complaint within
the time allowed by law, can not take his
statement as a criterion now. but Will, III
Justice to him, recommend Il reduction from
fifty to five thousand dollars.
Resolred. That the Administrator of Pub
lie Accounts be and is hereby authorized to
cancel tax bill for 1869 against l.. Gunther,
the same being based on an erroneous as
sessment, and that n new bill be furnished
to the Administrator OF Finance, charging
tax on five thousand dollars capital, instead
of fifty thousand dollars.

fourth assessment district.
DEPARTMENT oP ASSESSMENTS
October IL, 1870
To the City Council of New Orleans;
This is a supplementary petition and has
reference to taxes on capital assessed against
petitioners for the years 1868 and 1869.
On their previous application | reported
untavOrably, chiefly because petitioners had
been notified to make their return TO the
assessor. and did not comply.
The proof they bring now shows that 1t
would be UNI lust to assess them on capital.
for it is shown by business men of respecta
bility that they possessed none, and that
they are merely brokers for merchants and
others on Carondelet street.
rec ommend relief, and offer the annexed
resolution:
Rcsolred, That the Sheriff is hereby au-
thorized to settle the claim of the city
against S. Jones Il Co., for the unpaid tax
assessed on capital for the year 1868, by
abating the tax and interest; provided. the
costs are paid by them without delay. and
The Administrator of Public Accounts is
also authorized. hereby, to cancel the tax
bill on capital for the year 1869.

DEPARTMENT OF AssEssxENrs,
October Is, 1879. :
To the City Council of New Orleans:
Petitioner asks to have an assessment of
$4,000 on capital for 1869 cancelled
1t seems that he is a carpenter by profess
sion, and had tin box for orders at No. 122
although his place of business, he SAYS, has
for the last three years been located and
established in square 2l5. second assessment
district from which place, however. no re
turn of any kind was made to the Depart
ment of Assessments.
1t is, in my opinion, just to assess him at
five hundred dollars only. and remit the re
mainder. l therefore offer the annexed
resolution:
ResOlrcd, That the Administrator of Pub
lie Accounts be and he is hereby authorized
to furnish the Administrator of Finance with
acorrected tax bill for 1869 against ID. J.Was-
son. assessing him for capital five hundred
