Mr.. BOnzano asked how many inmates
there were in the Boys House of Refuge.
Mr.. Pierce answered that they varied
from hundred to hundred and twenty,
and 50 on.
Mr.. Bonzano said he had asked the question
because he saw four hundred and eighteen
dollars for -four, three hundred and ninety
eight dollars for groceries, and so on, and
he thought that good deal for hundred
boys to eat in a month.
Mr. Pierce explained in relation to the
-four item, that there was regular bakery
carried on at the Boys House OF Refuge,
and that they made bread there for the In
sane Asylum, the Girls House OF Refuge,
and other institutions. The expenditure
this month was exceptional. The APP
preaching winter necessitated the purchase
of warmer clothing. There was also An
item of hundred and eighty dollars for
shoes. which of course would not recur
every month.
The ordinance was passed. with some
slight textual amendments.
The expense appropriation of the Depart
ment of Assessments was adopted.
Deferred Business.

DEPARTMENT OF CoxxERCE,
November 8, 1870.
To the City Council OF New Orleans:
A. A. McGinnis' Sons ask for permission
to erect and operate a steam engine and
other machinery, for the purpose OF manu-
featuring cotton seed oil. on the square
bounded by Julia, st. Joseph. Tchoupitoulas
and Commerce streets, and accompany
their petition with the written consent OF
a majority Of the residents within one
square of the said place.
respectfully recommend the granting OF
their request.
S. c. EMLEY, Administrator.
Resolred, That permission is hereby
granted to A. A. McGinnis' Sons to erect
and operate a steam engi inc and other ma
chinerv. for the purpose of manufacturing
cotton seed oil. on square bounded by Julia,
ST. Joseph, TchOupitOulas and Commerce
streets.
Mr. Bonzane moved that the report be re-
ceiycd and printed and that final action
be deferred until the next meeting. He
thought some caution was necessary before
the Council sanctioned smoking oil fac
tory in the fire limits.
Mr.. Walton seconded the motion.
Mr.. Emley said the Council were not at
liberty TO postpone action. These parties
had complied with the ordinance, and had
a right to demand the permit. If it were
delayed it would be source of great in
convenience and loss to them.
Mr.. Shaw said because the Council had
passed an ordinance which provided that
certain things should not be permitted
without the written consent of the ma
jority of the property holders, that did not
make it the law that when this written con-
sent was obtained the Council must au-
thorize the thing to be done. He would
| like to have a week to look into this cotton
| seed oil business. He was not prepared to
say ne would vote against the resolution
| offered, but.he would like to see there was
| nothing unsafe about it.
! The resolution postponing consideration
of the subject one week was passed, MIR.
Finley voting alone in the negative.
