STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department.. ;
New Orleans, April q, 1879
To the Honorable President and Members OF the
Senate
/ beg earnestly to impress upon the men,
bers of the General Assembly that the term
for which they have been convened n ex-
ira session is rapidly drawing to a close.
and that thus far 10 salutary measures Of
public benefit have been adopted.
am informed that bills for the relief OF
the city of New Orleans, which are recon.
nended by committees representing the
commercial and. business interests of the
city and State, are before you for action.
can not too urgently remind you OF the
great importance of giving these measures
YOUR immediate and favorable cOnsidera
ton.
There is time IN the three days yet re-
naming of the session to take such action
as will temporarily remedy many pressing
evils, leaving until your regular session the
devising Of more comprehensive plans OF
general reform.
l again respectfully call your attention
to the desirabilIty of amending the funding
law SO as to give the mercantile community
representation upon the funding board,
and so as to enable any person to prevent
the funding Of invalid obligations. Permit
me to say that it is expected Of You, under
the circumstances which have brought You
together. that the great interests of the
State and city shall receive the preference
in your proceedings over the advancement
of party ends, and that our financial con-
dition renders it very undesirable that the
term of this session should be extended,
nor can it be with justice to the taxpayers
or the creditors of the State.

Governor.
