STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department, ,
new orleans, January 4, 1879.
To the Honorable President and aembers of the
Senate:
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 a 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 then
been fair and just; but as the Legislature
refused to reduce the fees of the civil sheriff,
amounting to nearly 500, 900 a year in cash,
and the fees of the criminal sheriff, amount
ing to about the same sum in city scrip,
think, under these circumstances. to reduce
the fees of the district attorney, which do
not exceed $1,000 year, would be an act of
injustice to taithful and efficient officer.
This view was cOncurred in by the late
City Council. to whom | submitted the bill
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG,
Governor.

be postponed till next Thursday at one
