July III, 1871 S
To the City Council of New Orleans:
l have the honor to return herewith the
remOnstrance against permission given DIR i.
Joseph Elliott to erect stable on BarOune
street, between Union and Perdido streets,
and to state that after careful examina-
ton of the same, 1 can see no reasonable
objection to the permission being withheld.
therefore respectfully recommend that
authority be given to Dr. Elliott to erect
his stable in accordance with my report of
the twentieth ultimo ON his petition, believ-
ing that the stable he cOntemplates build
ing will not only sbeautify, the locality, but
will prove to be convenient to the public.

nance is hereby authorized to instruct the

By Mr.. Walton:
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE,
July IL, 1871.
To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition of Mr.. Aug. Bohn, referred
to me on the eighth of June, asks us to re-
init the tax on capital for the year 1870, for
the reason that during that year all his
money was invested in real estate and other
property which is already taxed. His asser-
ton is supported by his own affidavit and
that of his bOOk-keeper, and see no reason
to doubt their truth. 49,.
believe tie Supreme Court has decided
that after the assessment rolls have been
approved by the Council they can not be
altered, but that errors must be corrected
by the taxpayer asking to have the amount
paid in error refunded to him. As this
Council, however, has already altered nu-
merOus assessments, it may as well add one
more to the list of Irregularities. -sE
recommend the adoption of the accom-
panying resolution. E-ls..r..at
JOHN s. WALTON, Administrator
Resoleed. That the Administrator of Pub
lie Accounts be authorized to cancel the
