SrArx LOUISIANA
Executive Department. ,
New Orleans. April a. 1875.
To the Honorable President aud Members Of the
Senate:
l return without my approval an act
originating in the Senate, amends the
charter of the city of New Orleans. 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 l 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 Inc not to sign
the bill, as my doing so 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 1 yield to their
views. and by vetoing the bin remit the
whole question to the Legislature.
