/ respectfully suggest that these accounts
be thoroughly examined from the beginning,
the exact deficit ascertained in each case,
and the interests of the city of New Or
leans protected.
F. G. REMICK, Administrator.
Mr.. Remick said it had been known for
some time that serious defalcation existed in
the collection of wharf dues, but he had de-
delayed reporting the facts from week to
week, trusting to the promises of the par
ties and their friends, that they would make
the deficit good. He now felt that it was
time for him to relieve himself of the burden
of even seeming to shield these defalcations,
and he therefore moved that the matter be
referred to the Mayor, with power to take
such action as he deemed proper.
Mr.. Lewis seconded the motion, which
was adopted.
