OBJECT OF THE LOAN.

During the crisis which followed the war of
secession, and which weighed 50 heavily on the
Diocese of New Orleans assumed liabilities
which they have determined to liuuidate. In
the past year better state Of affairs doomed UP
in the financial situation of the Diocese. That
improvement will increase as the rate Of inter-
est claimed by its creditors is lessened.
The conventional rate, in Louisiana, Ia too
high for d religious society the revenues of
which though entirely secure. are neverthee
limited, for such society cannot look for
eventual profits In contingent undertakings or
mission Of benevolence and charity.
Therefore 1t Is not with view of creating
der to unity and consolidate anterior liabilities,
and obtain their gradual and regular extinc-
ton by means Of the ordinary revenues of the
property. although affecting it. Such is the
plan positively approved by his Holiness Plus
TX and unanimously adopted by the Board of
of the Diocese of New Orleans.
