Public Buildings, October g. 1875. s
To the City Council of New Orleans:
have the honor to submit for your con-
sideratiOn the bill of DIR. j. j. Hayes, pro-
prietor OF Luxembourg Hospital for the years
of 1873 and 1874, with accompanying vouch-
ere. In connection Herewith l desire to
state that made inquiries into the nature
and extent of the same, with the following
results viz: Out of the forty-three cases
charged for by the said DR.. Hayes, only
nine were ever reported at the office Of the
Board of Health, as per letter of DR.. C. b.
White hereto annexed, which is the only
reliable authority in matters OF this kind.
In the year of 1873 the city had contracted
with DR.. Anfoux for the treatment of all in
digent cases of this malady, and in the year
1874 the city had hospital of its own in
charge of j. F. Finney, which precluded
the necessity for any outside contracts. In
submitting these views would respectfully
suggest that the whole subject matter be
referred to the Council in committee of the
whole for their action and consideration.
