New orleans, January ~, 1919.
Presented by Mr.. Brown and adopted.
20 the City Council of New Orleans:
In the matter of the petition of l.. Capus
cammissary Of the late city of Carrollton
Lad Joachim Capus, coroner, claiming thai
they are entitled to their salaries for the
sull year of 1874, by virtue of an ordinance
adopted by the Council Of said city on the
sixteenth of March, 1874, and which peti
tons have been referred to me, / submit
report herewith, and which is intended not
only to apply to the case of the petitioners,
but to . number of other claimants under
tho same ordinance.
1t appears that the Council Of the late
CIT of CarrOllt0n, anticipating the effect of
Tho act annexlng said corporation to the city
81 New Orleans, and just before going out
q office, passed the ordinance referred to
,ver the veto OF the mayor, in which they
undertake to decide that all officers of the
said corporation have legal right to their
salaries for the full term of their appoint
Ement or election, notwithstanding the
ABOLITION OF the offices as provided for in
said act.
The Council accordingly authorized the
Controller to warrant in payment for the I'M
expired term of all officers as before recited:
there was no money in the treasury to pay
said warrants if drawn, and hence the ap-
piicatiOn of the petitioners, as well as
OLucES EN- DraCcu ID SAID ordnance.
am advised by the City Attorney that
she city council Of Carrollton had not the
legal right to pass said ordinance; that it
should be treated as a nullity and in con-
fOrmity with his opinion, / recommend that
the claim set up by the petitioners, as well
all others under said ordinance be rejected.
