Mr.. Shaw said an error was made at
previous meeting in the passing of two Oh
dinances, one being supposed to be an
amendment of the other, and both relating
to claims of C. Roselius and Alfred Phillips.
To obviate misunderstanding he would now
call up both ordinances for final adoption
and reference to the Mayor with power, and
presented the following ordinance as an
amendment:
An ordinance to provide for the settlement
of the claims of c. Roselius and Alfred
Phillips.
WHEREAS, Among the assets turned over
to this city by the late acting draining com
missiOners of the second draining district
are three Judgments against the city of New
Orleans amounting together to $l23,279 rs,
with interest on same to he added thereto
(sav S40,6S2 25}; and
Whereas, Among the assets turned over
to this city by the late acting draining com
missiOners of the first draining district ia a
Judgment against the city of New Orleans
for 1869 40, with interest to be added, say
$57SS Is; and .....
Whereas, The attorneys of said commits
sioners, c. ROselius and Alfred Phillips, are
by law entitled to ten per cent of said judg-
ments and interest; -.
Be it ordained by the Council of the city
of New Orleans, That said claims be settled
by the issue of certificates under ordinance
No. $780, Administration series.
Mr. Walton said he did not understand
the subject, but he had no objection to its
going to the Mayor with power.
The Mayor explained that was under
Judgment of the court.
Mr.. Walton said he quite understood that
Messrs. Roselius g. Phillips get ten per cent
of the drainage fund, but he did not under
stand why they should get it. If there was
no way of relieving the city from this claim,
we must pay it, of course. 1t was one of
those things that the city was victimized
with.
The ordinance was adopted.
The ordinance making the quarterly ap-
preparations for the orphan asylums was
adopted, Mr.. Walton voting nay.
Claims of C. E. Girardey, s42O; Benz. F.
Flanders. $99 IS; John w. Norris, sl27 50;
S. F. Siskron, S2i 50, and w. and j. Me-
Cracker, S35, were passed.
Claims of Chlldrens Home Protestant
Episcopal church, 1924, and Oemichen g.
Pother, 1913 20, were ordered settled in
seven thirtIes.
Mr.. Shaw said an ordinance for the pay
ment of Thomas Mccormack, Recorder of
jefferson, five thousand dollars on account,
had been lying over for some weeks. He
now moved that twenty-five hundred dol
lars be paid Mr.. Mccormack on account.
Adopted.
By Mr.. Shaw:
An ordinance amending ordinance No. go,
Administration series.
Be it ordained by the Council of the city
of New Orleans, That ordinance No. $40,
Administration series, be amended by add
ing at the end of the third section the
words until the date Of the warrant, not
extending, however, beyond the time that
the tax bills of 1871, payable in 1872, shall
be in readiness for collection at the Depart
ment of Finance"
Adopted.
Metropolitan Police Warrants.
By Mr.. Shaw:
An ordinance relative to the receipt of Me-
tropolitan warrants for taxes and debts
due the city. .
WHEREAS The City Attorney has ad-
vised the Administrator of Finance that the
amount of redeemed Metropolitan warrants
in his hands has already exceeded the legal
liability of the city for the current Metro
politan fiscal year, and
Whereas The further receipt of said war
rants in excess of the city's liability will in
jure the city's credit, impair the vested
rights of creditors under the current annual
budget, prevent the city from performing
works that are urgently necessary and i'm
peril the payment of interest upon its fund
ed debts imperatively required by law to be
punctually paid; yet the Administrator of
Finance is threatened by dealers and spec
ulators in warrants, should he fail or re-
fuse further to receive the same
SECTION |. Be it ordained by the Council
of the city of New Orleans, That the city
will discontinue to receive Metropolitan
warrants until after the final adoption of
the apportionment and assessment to be
made for the Metropolitan year commencing
October l, 1871, and ending September 30,
1872.
SEC. 9. BE it further ordained, etc That
the Administrator of Finance be forbidden
to receive such warrants as aforesaid, and
the city will warrant and defend him for
