Reports of Committees.
The Mayor, from the committee of the
whole, to whom had been referred the es-
innate of the expenses of the Board of
School Directors for the year 1874, reported
the same back with recommendation that

so ordered
ORPICR BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS,
City OF New Orleans (SiXth Dvision),
No. 80 Burgundy street, october "a, 1873
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City
Council of New Orleans
In accordance with section. two of act No.
sc, of session of 1873, we have the honor to
transmit herewith an estimate of expen-
ditures for the public schools of the city Of
New Orleans" for the year 1874, adopted
at a meeting of the Board of School Direc-
tors, held October %, 1873.
In submitting the inclosed estimate. we
would call your attention TO the following
facts in connection Herewith, viz: That the
item of S25, 1000 for repairs on schOolhOuses
owned by the city is omitted, inasmuch as
section three, act No. sc, of 1873, makes it
the duty of the City Council to make due
provision therefor in the budget of current
city expenses.
During the past year $93,773 IL has been
received from the State school tax, but in
asmuch as the nuIG Der of educable children
returned this year is less, by from 1900 to
20000, we can not reasonably expect to
realize from that source. for the year 1874,
more than $4,000. Deducting the last
mentioned amount, from total estimate,
the board will require from the city for the
support of public schools, an assessment Of
a tax of 1881 100.
Very respectfully,
