New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-17

The Chair suggested that probably the
Administrator was prepared to make bis re-
port at once.
Mr.. Walton reported adversely OF the pc
tition, for two reasons first, because the
city had passed an ordinance pledging it'
faith that certificates of appropriation
should be paid in the order of their passage
and secondly, because he was opposed t.
public grants to religious corporations
whether Protestant or Catholic. The city
should maintain its own poor and its OWL
orphans in its own institutions.
I Mr.. Lewis moved that the report be re
ceived and approved.
Mr. Remick seconded the motion.
Mr. Shaw moved the following as a sub
stitute:
Resolccd, That the prayer Of petitioners
be granted in their favor, as well as Othel
asylums, and that erdinanc No. 1919 be
modified accordingly.
For the substitute:
Yea-Shaw-l.
Nays Cockrem. Delassize, Remick
Lewis, Walton, Bonzano-6.
The substitute was lost.
For the adoption of the rep ort of the Ad
| m;nistrator of Finance:
Yeas-Bonzano, Walton, Lewis, Remick,
Delassize, Cockrem-6.
| Nay-Shaw-l.
The report was adopted.
Mr.. Shaw presented another petition,
which he moved be received and printed,
and which was as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Administra
traitors Of the city Of New Orleans
The petition Of the undersigned, citi-
zens and property-holders of that part OF
IT, fourteenth ward known as Green
| vile, Sixth District. shows with re-
| spect that under the parish Of JEFF
| terson, Of which they were formerly
a part, their taxes for local purposes were
| light and easily borne, and they were en-
| abled tomake such improvements as they
| desired for less amount than the aggre-
gate of the taxes they now pay to the city
| of New Orleans; that the locality in which
they live was annexed to the city Of New
| Orleans without any reference to the
wish of the inhabitants, and the amount Of
taxes for local purposes increased tenfold:
| that they have received no adequate benefit
therefor; that they pay taxes for the light
ing of the city and other purposes and that
| they are entitled to receive fair share Of
| lights and other improvements.
Wherefore they pray that your honora-
BILE body cause the Gaslight Company
| having the exclusive privilege of lighting
with gas their part of the city, to extend
| their gas pipes and have street lights on
Broadway and Chestnut streets, from
| Washington street to the levee.
| Your petitioners further show, that a
| large majority of the population of this sec
ton of the city live near the river, and have
IL nav1xv In 20
conveyance to the business part of the city,
| and that an extension of the Magazine
street railroad would be of great benefit to
them.
Wherefore they also pray that your
hon ,rable body grant permission to the
proprietors of said railroad to extend their
line, under proper regulation, along said
Magazine street to the lower line of Car
rollton.
Your petitioners, with all due respect and
Difference, urge that the improvements here
in prayed for are absolutely necessary to
them; that they are not swayed by any
motive but their own interest IN the matter:
and. further, that they are not bound in
equity or law to pay taxes to the city OF
New Orleans unless they receive some
benefit in return.
