To the City Council of New Orleans
There was but one response to an adver-
tisement for proposals for supplying the In
sane Asylum and Home of Aged and Infirm
with fresh beef-that of Louis Ruch,
who bid seven cents. Deening the bid
reasonable, ask the passage of the accom-
L. Y. DELASSIZE. Administrator.
Resolved, That the adjudication by the
Administrator of WaterwOrks and Public
Buildings of contract under resolution No,
| 952, Administration series, for supplying
the inmates of the Insane Asylum and Home
of Aged and Infirm with fresh beef. unto
Louis Ruch, for the price and sum of seven
cents per pound, with Hugh Cassidy as Sc
curity in the sum of two thousand dollars,
be and the same is hereby approved, the Sc
| curity accepted, and the Mayor authorized
| TO sign and execute, on behalf OF the city,
| the necessary contract before the City No
| tary to carry the same into effect.
Mr. Bonzano said he learned from the
Administrator of Police that other institu-
tons had been served at five cents a pound.
The Mayor: That was under an old ordi-
nance. Unfortunately the contractors have
raised twenty per cent on account of the
falling of the city's credit.
Mr.. Delassize remarked that it was the
citys credit that was alone in fault, and if
| they advertised again the prices would
| probably be still further raised.
The resolution was adopted.

The public schools of the city having
been placed, by legislative enactment, out
of the control of the city, under ordinary
circumstances would deem it unwise to
urge the appropriation of money for the
purpose indicated in the above report, but
the utter lack of means by the authority
| into whose hands the schools have been
committed, makes it absolutely necessary,
