Report of the Administrator of Assessments
on the petition of +. n Gueringer, for the
reduction of assessment on his capital for
the year 1869.
DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS,
City of New Orleans Z
July II, 1870.
From the testimony adduced in this case,
and Judging from the reports of the en-
ployes who have been questioned in regard
to this assessment, am convinced that the
petitioner used more than ordinary dill
gence to have a correct assessment placed
Upon his personal property, but was pre-
vented from having justice done him, not
withstanding his repeatedly calling at the
office Of the assessor, not being able to see
him. and no one being willing to receive
the return he had made out. He is now
called 10 paw tax ON capital he did not pos
sess. I recommend relief, and offer the
annexed resolution.
Very respectfully,
H. BONZANO,
Administrator of Assessments.
Res0lre2. That the Administrator Of Pub
lie Accounts is hereby authorized to change
the assessment on capital for the year 1869
against H. n Gueringer from five thousand
to three thousand dollars, the amount
actually employed in his business for that
year.
Adopted.
Report by the Administrator of Assess
ments on the petition Of Mrs. NJ. 5. Bacon,
for the reduction Of the assessment on her
property in Algiers, for the year 1869.
DEPARTMENT OF AssEssMENTs,}
City Of New Orleans, July H. 1870.
The petitioner thinks the assessment on
her property in the fourteenth assessment
district is too nigh, and asks that for the
year 1869 it may be reduced from three
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars. After
a careful consideration of the facts set forth
in this petition and the report made by the
assessor, to whom the matter was referred
for correct valuation of the property, can
not recommend any relief, and therefore re-
port unfavorably.
Very respectfully.
II. BONZANO.
Administrator of Assessments.

Report by the Administrator OF Assessments
on the petition of Louise Frederick fol
tie remission, costs, etc. Tor the tax o.
1858.
DEPARTMENT ASSESSMENTS, I
City of New Orleans, July T. 1870.
The petitioner asks 10 be relieved OF the
interests and costs accrued on the tax bill
OF 1868. against property belonging to her.
The testimony adduced shows that in the
month OF July 1869, a legal tender was
| duly made in accordance with act No. A OF
| the General Assembly, approved February
| y. 1869. in Metropolitan Police warrants
and that the tender was refused by the City
| Treasurer.
For the same reason stated in my repor
| on the petition Of K. L. Gibson, agent fol
| the Montgomery estate, and presented a
| the last regular meeting OF the Council,
recommend relief, and offer the annexed
resolution.
Very respectfully,
II. BONZANO,
| Administrator of Assessments.
| Resolred That the City Attorney is hereb,
| directed to instruct the Sheriff 10 stop al
| proceedings in the suit of New Orleans VS.
| the estate OF G. Frederick, for the unpai'
tax bills of 1868; provided, the face OF tn
bill be paid, without delay, in currency.
Mr.. Walton said they had a great man
claims of this kind in the Treasury Depart
ment. The Sheriff told him he had fifty o
sixty thousand dollars Of taxes pending o
this one thing. The question was whethe
the Council recognized Metropolitan Polio
warrants as legal tender, and whether th
rendering Of them was reason why partit
should lie excused from paying interest an
costs. He had asked the City Attorney
opinion about it. and had thought he wa
going to report upon the question.
Mr. Bonzano said the City Attorney ha
reported on it in the case of Gibson.
Mr.. Shaw remarked that the resolution
| proposed. in this case, was a compromise
not 4 precedent.
Adopted.
