STATE OF LousIANA,)
Executive Department
New Orleans January 4. 1875. }
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
return, without my approval bill
originating in the Senate, to limit the fees
of the district attorney of the parish Of
Orleans. This was one of q series OF reform
measures reducing the expenses of the city
which l 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
SlO0, 900 year in cash, and the fees of the
criminal sheriff, amounting 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 faithful and efficient officer.
This view was cOncurred in by the late
City Council. to whom submitted the bill.
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG.
Governor
