New Orleans January ] 1872. }
To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House of Representatives:
Having carefully examined an act origin
ating with your honorable body entitled
"An act to provide for the deepening Of the
at the mouth of the river Mississippi. to re-
move impediments to the navigation at said
bar, and to provide for the issuance of
bonds of the State of Louisiana in payment
therefor, and to create a revenue to meet
the payment of said bonds and the interest
thereon" l herewith return the same
without my approval.
By this bill bonds of the State to the
amount of $95O.00O are authorized to be is
sued. for the purpose of improving the
navigation at the mouth of the Mississippi
river. Chief and most conclusive among
the many objections that may be urged
against this bill is that it is in direct con-
of the amendment to the cOnsti
tuition, limiting the debt of the State to
$25, 900 900 prior to 1890.

New Orleans January l, 1927
To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House of Representatives:
Having examined an act originating with
Your honorable body, entitled AN act to
the Louisiana Steamship Com
pany of New Orleans | am compelled to
return the same without my approval.
This bill is doubly unconstitutional In
to the company aid of the State to the
amount of 100000, which object is not
in the title of the bill, and does
not therefore comply with the requirements
of article No. ia of the constitution, which
provides that every law shall express its
object or objects in its title; and, secondly.
it is in direct violation of the amendment
to the constitution forbidding the Legisla-
fure to increase the debt of the State to
exceed s25,COo,OOO prior to 1890.

10 the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House of Representatives,:
An act originating with your honorable
body, entitled IAN act for the improve
nent of the navigation of the rivers Tche-
functa and BOgue Falia,' is herewith re-
turned without my approval.
This bill makes an appropriation of
s25, 900 for the purpose of improving the
of two rivers without any sur
1ey or report by the State Engineer as to
he necessity or Importance OF the work.
The cardinal objection to this bill is that it
,alls for the expenditure of large amount
If public money, which. however important
he work, our present financial condition
will not justify.
