ETA~E o. LO-t-rANAl
Executive Department
lew 'rleans March l, 1873
TO the Honorable Speaker AID Members of the
louise o. Representatives,;
| return without NY approval to the
house in which il originated an act to
provide for the purchase CT State House,
etc. The act appTopriates the sum of
$3.50 600, with interest, for the purchase of
the St. Louis Hotel property by the State.
The price named is certainly quite hirh
enough, II not too high, under existing cir
cumstances. and the State should not be
asked TO pay interest thereon.
Section four OF the act before me reads as
follows
That out of all State taxes collected one.
halt of one mill on every dollar shall be
set apart of the general fund by the Auditor |
and Treasurer as a fund to meet the pur- !
chase price OF said property. and the said |
funds, or so much thereof as shall have |
been collected, shall be paid 70 the vendors
at times TO be designated in the act of sale,
provided said payment shall be made at !
least twice in each wear"
The wording Of this section is ambiguous
and susceptible Of misconstruction pre-
sumo the intention to be that there shall
DE set apart, of the four mills general fund
tax by the Auditor" the proportion indi-
Gated. II this be the intent of the act il
should have been SO expressed. and a pro-
visc should also have been added that this
amount should not exceed $50. 1913 80 for
any one year.
