Is it any wonder that a party that
plundered the people in such an out
rageous and infamous manner, would
deliberately and boldly connive at
the stealing of the Presidency?
And is it any wonder that it has be
come odious and a stencil in the nos

Room No 49, City Hall.
New Orleans. July 27, 1878.
AS 1t becomes necessary for the preservation
of the health of the city at this season of the
year, that every possible effort should be made
towards keeping the public avenues. cutters
and alleys clean and free from all offensive
matter, hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests. to wit:
l. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run q sufficient
time to wash away rubbish. filth etc. and to
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many Of the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river are
without water plugs. and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced in flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water.
Q. Residents will please place, or instruct
their servants to place, the garbage In boxes In
front of their dwellings before o'clock a. NJ.
prior to the city curtis making their rounds. A
strict adherence to this plan will remove. In .
great measure. the cause of the great number Of
complaints concerning the non removal of
garbage
therefore earnestly request all good citizens
to aid the authorities In keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy. and In assisting
to remove any waste or offensive scattering
promptly.
If o proper spirit is manifested by the public
In this respect the workings Of this department
will be greatly facilitated, and much of the
cause for complaint heretofore existing mate
rally obviated. JOHN MCCARTNEY.

ton as to tho proper Interpretation Of the
Act Of July 81. 1916, which requires land
grant companies, before receiving patents.
N pay the cost Of survey. selection N
conveyancing. Commissioner Williamson
holds that this requirement was . new
burden or condition imposed upon the
original grant. and that therefore u 10 APP
plieable only 10 lands earned After the date

holds, incidentally. that this provision

To amend the original grant, and II Ia not
applicable to lands granted TO Q State to
use in its discretion for the encouragement
Of the construction Of railroads.
