mitted against the franchises of said COM
nouv onI tho nuhlio hoo1th

LIDO not believe the State should attempt
to deprive the city of New Orleans of it's
property, without its consent, for the benefit
of individuals whose only object is specula-
ton, and who will not give the city COM
pensatiOn or the public advantages COM
mensurate with their loss.
l doubt the power of the Legislature to
do this, and must return the bill to your
honorably body for reconsideration.
In the multiplicity Of matters claiming
my attention at the present time, shall be
unable to say more on the subject. but will
communicate more fully my objections in a
subsequent message.
II. C. WARMOTH,
Governor Of Louisiana.
