City Hall, October 3, 1871. )
To the City Council Of New Orleans:
! veto the resolution, just passed, increas-
ing the salary of the chief clerk of the Ad-
minstrator of Finance. The salary Of that
clerk, in my opinion, was high enough be-
tore. If it was not equal to the salary Of
other officers Of the came rank, the latter
may be reduced, which would better COM
port with the financial condition of the CITY:
and recommend the Council to adopt an
ordinance for such decrease, in lieu of this
resolution.
