The communication of the Louisiana Ice
Manufacturing Company asks to be re.
leased from the payment Of tax on capital
for 1863. for non-paylnent of which the
Sheriff has seized their works.
This is a similar case to that of the South
| ern Paving Company. upon which the COlln
Gil required ME to make two reports. and
have to say now what l said then viz:
That can not understand how a company
| can do 4 large business without any capital.
| Ii. as in the former case, the business is
carried on with money borrowed or adj
vanced by stockholders, it is nevertheless
| capital. and l must report unfavOra bly,.

reasonable, and tho object they seek very
desirable, if the present embarrassed con-

secure it.

The petition of ten retailers of fresh meat
in the Fifth District. late Algiers, complains
of the high price OF the license imposed upon
private markets, and asks for a reduction.
The reasons stated are not without weight,
and are such as would, think. induce this
Council to grant their request, were it not
that we can not discriminate i'll licenses be-
tween persons carrying on the same kind of
business. They must all pay the same
price for a license, or the tax would not be
uniform. | am therefore reluctantly com
PEELED to recommend that their petition be
not granted

To the City Council of New Orleans
The petition of NJ. SCOOTER. referred to
me at the last meeting of the Council.
asks to be released from the tax on his
capital and stock of iewelry' for 1870. and
from payment of license for 1871, because
his store was robbed on the night of the first
of January, 1871.
l fail to see any reason for eXempting him
from the tax of 1870 Oh property which he
did not lose until 1871.
AS for the license, he does not pretend that
he has discontinued business. and it is not
within the power of this Council to excuse
him from that, unless it excuses all in the
same line of business.

To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition of A. Strauss, referred to me
at the last meeting of the Council asks to
have his license changed from twenty-five
dollars $50 to ten dollars $50, because
his store is small one, and he thinks his
sales will not amount to as much this year
as he thought they would when he paid for
his license.
The report of my inspector upon Mr..
Strauss premises satisfies me that his first |
Impressions in regard to his business were
probably more correct than his last ones.
|, therefore recommend that his request be
not granted.
