To the City Council of New Orleans:
Some time after the close of the last SEES
sion of the Legislature l was waited upon
| by Dr.. j. j. Hayes, who presented to me a
slip on which was printed what purported
to be law, giving to him the exclusive
| privilege, as before recited, a note attached
| to the act stating it to have become law
| by the failure of the Governor to return it
| to the Legislature within the period pre-
| scrlbed by the constitution, the doctor taking
| the opportunity to urge upon me immediate
compliance with its provisions. Knowing
chat the act in question had been passed
only tue night previous to the last day of
the session OF the Legislature, and of course
could not be in the Governors hands the
| requisite time, / stated to the doctor I did
not consider it a law and that / would not
comply Herewith. | afterwards consulted
with the City Attorney in relation thereto,
and he bore me out in my decision.

| no change in the disposition of the small
pox patients but continue to send them to
the smallpox hospital Of Dr.. Anfoux, by
virtue of and in compliance with contract
still in existence between Dr. Anfoux and
the city authorities.
