To the City Council of New Orleans:
Having considered the petitions of E,
Rlmbau and Jean Cazeau, farmers of the
Poydras, Pile and IRENE markets for the
month OF June, asking to be reimbursed
portion of the purchase price of the reve-
nues of said markets because of the falling
on OF business consequent upon the late
overflow, have to state that while recog-
niZe the misfortune of the farmers under
the circumstances set forth, / see no Justice
in their claims.
When they bought the revenues, they did
IL Tor the purpose of profting by it, as in
any other business transaction. and had
they made great success and realized
more than they anticipated at the time of
purchase, they would not have been willing,
nor would they have been expected, to
make extra compensation to the city on &C.
count of such result.
therefore recommend that their petitions
be not granted. s.tt
+. c. REMICK, Administrator.
