To the City Council of New Orleans:
The petition of John Moylan. referred to
the undersigned on the fifth of December,
1871. is herewith respectfully returned.
The petitioner asks indemnfcatiOn for
money expended by him in filling, grading
and curling the banquette on the north
side of st. Charles avenue, from Toledano
to State streets, the contract having been
declared null and void by the honorable
Judge of the Third District Court, par
ish of Orleans, on the ground that the
Council had no authority from the
front owners. nor by law, to make
the contract. By reason of this de-
cison. the property holders refuse to pay
for said Sling and grading and curling,
and petitioner asks that the city pay him
the amounts expended by him. as well as
the costs of litigation, in all amounting to
about $4,000.
The payment of this claim would be to
establish dangerous precedent: 1t Is there
fore recommended that it be not allowed.
