introducing herein an extract from the re-
port of the Committee Of Fifty-one. for the
purpose OF correcting an error into which
the estlmabie gentlemen composing that
committee have fallen with respect to the
saving that might be made in my depart
ment in properly timing tie purchases of
coal The report reads:
About $4,000 barrels focal are consumed
YEARLY, and, if properly managed, saving
of about $4,000 could be made on this item
alone The last lot of coal cost the enor-
n Gus price Of eight,y-nine cents per barrel
|; the Administrator had been more atten-
tive. a great economy would have been
made on this article
The statement as to the amount OF coal
consumed by the Waterworks yearly. is
correct: but the second statement is wide
of the mark. The cost OF the whole
amount OF coal purchased and to be pur-
chased for the use of the works during the
present fiscal year can not exceed Sl7 900,
and the lowest cash value of a full supply OF
coal could not be less than $4,000, showing
loss of $4,000, caused. not from want OF
attention on my part, as charged in the re-
port, but from circumstances over which l
have no control. The statement that
eighty-nine cents was paid for the coal is
also an error. the only two purchases made
being at seyenty-nine and eighty-tive cents
per barrel.
There was purchased during the past
month from G. A. Miltenberger, Esq. a

To the City Council of New Orleans
The undersigned, to whom was referred
the petition of Edward +. Shields, by J. l..
Beckwith, his attorney, respectfully reports
that the former Council of the city, in the
exercise of it's function of regulating the
storing Of combustibes, forbade, by ordi-
nances. the reception and storage OF gun
powder at any other place than the city
powder house and proceeded to adjudicate
IA contract imposing upon the contractor the
expense of erecting a building and making
other improvements to the property. These
he performed to the extent of $1,000, besides
giving his time and attention, to the exclu-
sion of other business, for some two years
The city entered into litigation with
merchants dealing in gunro WIDER, to en-
force its ordinances. In these law suits it
failed. and no revenue whatever enured to
to the lessee of the city pOwderhOuSe.
This was no fault of Mr.. Shields, nor was
he responsible in any manner for the city
attempting to derive a revenue from the
storage of powder, by leasing the powdel
house and grounds, or failing in this us we'll
III
trade. He was merely the victim of these
proceedings, and acted in good faith
throughout. His probable revenues are
difficult to estimate, but they would GER
tainly exceed his whole claim of $500, set
ting aside his loss of time and expenditure.
This is one of the few claims presented
which, after thorough examination, have
shown no inherent weakness or ground for
doubt. Pending its examination, Mr..
oil is has iaI. 10 10 L.,
ly urged it, and deprecated having any law
suit with the city; the fact that it is now
the property of his minor children, and their
all, makes it the more proper that this set
tlement should not be left to litigation.
therefore report in favor of settling the
claim at $1,000.
ALFRED SHAW, Administrator.
An ordinance authorizing settlement
with the succession Of the late Edward
+. Shields.
Be it ordained by the Council of the city
OF New Orleans, That the sum of $4,000 be
appropriated in such form as may allow
funding the same at rates for bonds author
Hed by law, in compromise ard full settle
ment with the succession of the late Ed

city for breach of contract. buildings and
