EXECVTIVE ORDER.

STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department. 7
New Orleans, June IL, 1851
WHEREAS, I. appears from information received
from the Auditors office, and from other sources,
tina. many just claims exist against the State,
which under article 1879 of the constitution can
not be paid for want Of appropriation, which cases
are Justly entitled to legislative relief: and
Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent
or at least, improper claims, have been in previous
years hurriedly passed upon and provided for in
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas, While it is but Just that all legitimate
claims should be promptly liqudated, it is equally
essential that claims of every description should
be carefully scrutinized before being passed upon
aad
Whereas, The law makes it the duty of the Au
ditor to investigate unliquidated claims against
the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature;
Now, therefore, in order to arrive at the true
merits of such outstanding claims and to enable
the Auditor TO make the proper recomEe ndations
in such cases, savOring those which are just and
rejecting those which are fraudulent, parties hav
ing claims against the State on which they desire
legislative action are hereby requested to forward
them to the Auditor, together with such vouchers
and proofs as vii. enable that officer to ascertain
the merits Of the same; and 10 claim vii! receive
tie executive approval unless they have been pre-
sented and passed upon in the manner herein indi
Gated.
Given under my hand and the seal Of the State
this nineteenth day OF June A. D. 1873, and Of the
independence Of the United States the ninety
seventh.

Our City's Health.

In the published report of the Board Of
Health of Milwaukee it is stated that the
death rate in New Orleans is titty-four to
1900 inhabitants. This wicked error Of
the Milwaukee health officers was
brought to the attention. OF Dr.
White, of the New Orleans Board Of
Health. who publishes the following letter
in the columns of the Milwaukee Sent'Hc,
frequent private messages to the health
officers of that city having failed to secure
a correction of misstatement:
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HzA.-H,
New Orleans June -, 1873.
To the Editor OF the Sentinel:
Oh page rwenty.four of the report OF the
Board of Health Of Milwaukee for the year
ending April |, 1871, occurs a LIST OF Ame.i-
can cites and their yearly rates OF mortal
!ty per thousand of living Inhabitants New
Orleans is made to head the list at ttty-tour
per thousand.
On page forty-fve Of the report OF the
same BODY for the year ending April l.
1872. similar LIST occurs, and as in the
former one, New Orleans is put at the be-
ginning of the list as having yearly mortal
ity per thousand fifty four.
On page forry-seven of the report for
the year ending April /, 1873. the same
statement is repeated, death rate 81 to 1000
inha bitants.
During the past four years, the period of
ny connection with the Board OF Heath IN
New Orleans, the rate of mortality per
1000 has been: 1869. % q: 1870, $685. 1871,
1921: 1872, 1901 to 1000 Of population.
Average death rate, four years. 3l.3. per
1000 OF population.
Of the deaths occurring in 1870 5S7 wer,
by yellow fever and SO by smallpox.
These rates of mortality are calculated
upon the basis of the population as fur
nished by the United States census OF 1870.
The large floating population present III
New Orleans during the war somewhat
diminished the value of its vital statistics
in determining the health of its population.
But for fifteen years there has been but one
year in which the death rate has been fifty
four per thousand. namely. the great epi-
Gemic year of 1867. The very next yeac
the death rate was but twenry-seven per
thousand. Ii the death rate tor one year
is to be the standard rate for all time, why
rot select that OF 1868!
The death rate for ten years has been
81 2G per thousand. certainly widely differ
ent from the rate of 81, as given By the Mil
waukee Board of Health.
Drainage has been carried onward. and,
by reference to the report sent, 1t Will be
perceived that fair amount of other sani-
tary work has been done. New Orleans
should have the credit of the lowered death
rate that results from her efforts a. im-
proved health. --,.--vg-s..--.r. -----.--s--
1t may not be improper to inquire if all
other figures of the Board Of Health of Mil
waukes be equally reliable.
take this method of calling public at
tention to this subject, as copies OF our an
nual reports are promptly furnished to the
sanitary authorities of Milwaukee. and last
wear BY letter their attention was directed
to this inaccuracy.

servant,
