To the Honorable President and Members of the

return without my approval bill Origi
mating in the Senate, to limit the fees of the
district attorney of the parish of Orleans
This was one of series of reform measures
| reducing the expenses of the city which
submitted to the last Legislature. Had they
all passed, this bill would have received my
| approval with the rest, and would have theI
been fair and Just; but IA the Legislature
refused to reduce the fees of the civil sheriff
amounting to nearly $l0O,00Oa year in cash
and the fees of the criminal sheriff, amount

not exceed $1,000 year, would be an act c
