TO the City Council Of New Orleans:
The petition Of j. A. Somers, asks the
payment of the sum of $500 TO him for ser
vices rendered as commissarv Of the Pile
market, from July /. 1868, until March l,
1870, say twenty months, at eighty dollars
per month.
1t appears, upon investigation, that Mr..
Somers was cOmmissary OF the Poydras
market, and drew his pay as such; that
Mayor Conway instructed him to act as
of the Pile market, in addition
to his duty as commissary Of Poydras
market, which ne did until reEevedEby the
appointee Of the Mayor on March !, 1870,
only a few weeks before the present form Of
government was adopted
The fact of the case seems TO be that the
Mayor simply extended the beat of the COM
nissary of the Poydras market, without
any idea of additional pay, and Mr.. Somers
would probably never have thought to
make any claim for pay after working
twenty months without, had it not been
Tor some inconsderately liberal offer of
some member OF the government just going
)ut of power.
l respectfully recommend that his petition
De not granted.
F. c. REMICK, Administrator.

uggestion of Lesseps himself, and he col
seted rent from the owner of it for the use |
f the batture; afterward the owner was
dvised that he was not obliged to pay rent |
D Lesseps. and he refused to do so. Lesseps |
