This exhibit is so far very favorable to the
present year. for whilst the collection of taxes
is something like 100000 less than in 1875, it
should be remembered that the assessments for
1875 exceeded those for 1873 by 1880 900. upon
which, If collections had been made this year.
the result would show. in the above proportion
an increase over those of 1876 Howbeit the
collection of licenses more than cOmpenSates
for the difference caused by decrease in the
assessments, and would seem to indica'e better
business prospects than in preceding years.

have already delivered up all the certificates OF
Waterworks Company stock to the bidders. with
the exception of about $780, 600. and $4,000 to a
bidder who is not expected to claim the amount

Concerning the bid for fine exchange Of 1923 900
of past due bonds for Waterworks stock the
City Attorney, to whom the matter had teen re-
ferred has given an ouiniOn adverse to the ex-
change. on the grounds that the bid does not

THAT sETTLEM EMF.
1t Wasn't An Elephant After ALI.

In his regular daily rounds yesterday a
DEMOCRAT reporter called upon State Auditor
Jumel. at his Office, when the following CONVEX
sation took place:
Reporter-Mr. Auditor l see In this morn
ing's FicaU,uae a statement relative to a So
called Canal Bank compromise settl 'ment with
this office. Was such a settlement made?
Auditor Jume-Yes; here it is (producing it,,
and here is my authority.
The Auditor then handed the paper to the re-
porter to read, that being letter from the bank
offering to settle by compromise $4,000 capital
tax OldI in valid Ohlig atOus Of he State OF the
years 18745. for the taxes Of 1856.
That referred" said the Auditor. TO the
Assistant Attorney General. who has charge of
such matters in the torney Generals office
Auditor Jumel-Yes.
KepOrter-Can | SCI it2
Auditor Jumel-Certainly: here it Is.
The following letter was then handed to the
reporter:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, |
New Orleans. La. J
Hon. Allen Jumel, New Orleans:
am of the opinion that this settlement will
be for the interest of the State. My reason for
this oninion is that these two cases those in
COURT involve a question Of the liability of the
bank for taxes on capital invested in United
States bonds. The cases will undoubtedly go to
the Supreme Court of the United Stairs unless
compromised, and the State might lose the en-
tire tax. $4,000 l, therefore, recommend the
settlement. J. G. EGAN.
Assistant Attorney General.
