6. New ORLEANS, June 5, 1876
The committee Of the whole having un-
der consideration the petition of the work
labor, reports that shile deeply sympathiz-
ing with the distre ssed condition Of the I'M
employed Of ths .py. your committee are
unable TO extend .; J practical relief at this
time. The financial condition OF the city
will not permit ti,s employment of more
lsbOrers than are now at work. In fact,
the force now engaged is greater than the
city can continue 10 pay, and any increase
of the public debt IS prohibited by the con-
stitution. A decrease Of the force will
probably be caused by the want of means
necessary for payment
