To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition Of Mrs Brown. referred 10
me at the last meeting of the Council. asks
us to excuse her from paving her sidewalk.
for the reason that she is poor widow and
has crippled son.
Without examining the merits of the
ease. | am constrained to report unfavOra-
bly, upon it, because to grant her request
would establish precedent that would lead
to our being overwhelmed with similar ap-
plicationS. which we have neither the bower
nor the right to grant.

To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition Of X. II. Short referred to
me December D. asks us to reimburse the
taxes on his property for 1863. 1864 and
lcto. which he says. We're wrongfully paid
by the Sheriff ont of funds in his hands re-
ceived for the sale of the property under
execution III private suit.
Under act No. l22 of the Legislature of
lStt the judgments in favor of the city
against the property were cancelled. not
outstanding which the Sheriff subseqnent
ly collected the taxes as above stated. Why
he should have been permitted to do this
do not understand. unless the defendant in
the private suit considered that he had no
longer any interest in the property.
The papers submitted to me show that
the taxes We're paid by Mr.. Woodbridge.
can not, therefore. recommend that they be
paid by the city TO Mr.. Short: and, in view
Of the fact that act No. l22 was annulled by
article No. AZ of the constitution of 1868.
and that the city. by ordinance No. 1909. !
new series. repealed ordinance No. lJ3 I'M |
Her which this claim is made recommend
that the petition be not granted
