DEPARTMENT OF FISAYCE,
July 30, 1872.
To the City Council of New Orleans:
In the petition of D. NJ Heard, referred
to me at the last meeting of the Council, he
claims to have been the first assistant of
the Claiborne Street School, in 1861 and
1862, and asks to be recognized as the bona
| tide first assistant of said school during the
entire years Of 1861 and 1862, so that lie
may be paid for he vacation of 1862. as
other teachers have been.
do not believe that this Council ought
to have paid the other teachers after ten
| years delay, but in this case it is not neces-
sary to insist upon that. Mr.. Heard says
in his petition that, to the best of his re-
collection, during the month Of May, 1862
on account of i'll health, he was obliged to
vacate the place Of fist assistant aforesaid
and left the city.
do not see how Mr.. Heard can reason
ably expect to be paid the salary Of July
August and September Of place which he
vacated in the May previous, and there
fore recommend that his petition be not
granted.
