EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS SUBMITTED BY
THE GOVERNOR.
STATE o. Lou IsIANA,
Executive Department. }
New Orleans, April IA, 1875
To the Honorable President and Members Of the
I return without my approval an act
originating in the Senate amending the
charter of the city of New Orleans. l be-
lieve the opinion is general among those
best acquainted with city affairs, that some
radical change in the existing form of city
government is necessary, and as this bill
has at least the merit of providing for .
reduction Of expenditures, 1 was prepared
to give it my approval. A communication,
however, was presented to me last evening,
signed by the respective legislative com,
mittees Of the Cotton Exchange and Cham
Der of Commerce requesting me not to sign
the bill, as NY doing 80 might impede the
efforts being made to assist the city out of
its difficulties. The gentlemen whose names
are appended to this memorial are so largely
interested in the prosperity and good gov.
eminent of the city, that yield to their
views, and by vetoing the bill remit the
whole question to the Legislature.
WILLIAM p. KELLOGG,

STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department :
New leans, April IA. 1878. )
To the Honorable President and Members Of the
Senate
l veto an act originating in the Senate
entitled an act to legalize the indebtedness
of the Charity Hospital Of New Orleans
and the insane asyluD at jackson. 1t seems
to me extraordinary and unnecessary to
pass an act to legalize legal debt. The
claims of the Charity Hospital and the
Asylum for the Insane upon the considera-
ton of the Legislature are 40 marked that
think there should be NO difficulty in
meeting their just debts in direct manner.
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG, -.
Governor.
On motion of Mr.. Harper, the Senate
voted to adjourn till tomorrow at l2 NJ
