To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition of j. T. Burdeau. referred to
me, asks exemption from tax of 1869 on
the ground that he Is not citizen of Louis
lana, and has no property in the State. but
is in the employ of company domiciled in
the city of st. Louis, which pays him a
salary for services as agent in this city.
Considering that the tax is not upon prop
erty, but upon income, which he ac-
knowledges to possess. l fail to see any
reason for releasing him from his share of
the public burden, and recommend that his
petition be not granted.
