STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department. )
New Orleans. April IA, 1875
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
Iveto an act. originating in the Senate,
entitled an act to legalze the indebtedness
ofthe Charity Hospital Of New Orleans and
the insane asylum at jackson. 1t seems to
me extraordinary and unnecessary to pass
an act to legakze legal debt. The claims
Of the Charity Hospital and the Asylum for
the Insane upon the consideration of the
Legislature are go marked that think there
should be no difficulty in meeting their Just
debts in q direct manner.
