New ORLEANS, February 3d. 1871.
To the City Council OF New Orleans:
hereby inform you that Oh the twenty
first instan: Thomas Mccormack. Recorder
OF the parish Of Jefferson, left at the office
| OF the Register OF Couveyanccs i'll this city.
three volumes of transcripts, taken from
the records OF the parish OF Jefferson. OF
titles to property in that part OF said parish
| now known rs the Sixth District OF New Or
leans. With said three volumes of tran
scripts he left three other books, which he
claims to be a double index To said books
of transcripts, but which are nothing more
than i miscellaneous index, alphabetically
arranged the vendors and purchasers
being mixed indiScri,ninatcly.
There are several reasons why said index
books should not be received. !. On account
OF the negligent and incomplete manner,ln
which they are made. = On account OF the
danger to which they constantly expose the
registrar aud also the people who buy or
sell real estate in that district OF the city
3. On account Of the delay such indexes
must naturally occasion in the dispatch OF
the business of the offices, thereby beng
detrimental to the interests OF the people
4. That they do not constitute double in
dex. as required by the law. l would re-
! spect1ully call your attention to sections
'0S} and 30Sl of the fastest Revised Statutes
OF the State OF Louisiana.
would advise the examination OF said
| transcripts and indexes. particularly the
| latter. 10y some competent notary, or nofa-
! ries public before they are accepted by the
| city. and that NJ. Nc Cormack be required
| 70 furnish indexes to correspond with the
| other in the conveyance office.
Respectfully.
