New Orleans. January 81. 1919. J
To the Honorable President and Members OF
the Senate:
In compliance with resolution adopted by
your honorable body on the twenty-ninth
Instant, requesting me to furnish q state
ment OF my reasons for declining TO exchange
bonds with the New Orleans Pacific Railroad
Company, as provided by act No. So, 1878,
and further toinform you In what respect the
bonds rendered by the said railway company
tailed 70 meet the requirements OF the law.
have the honor to state that / declined to
make the exchange for the reason that the
railway company had not com piled with the
obligations imposed upon it by law as c1fi-
dltion precedent TO the delivery Of the bonds
q the state, not having placed the State in
placed by act No. 6S Of 1878 before any Of
the bonds authorized thereby could be tssued
And being public officer, with limited
powers, acting under special law, / did not
feel authorized TO vary from it or exercise any
discretionary power In the matter. I found
special objections to the stipulation In the
bonds making them payable In New York. at
the option Of holders, and to the clauses In
the act of mortgage waving the benefit of
appraisement and making the whole of the
0fIfafanhfnO honda dine aYtCitla and roxy .lo
on the failure OF the company TO pay the in
terest due at any time for the space of ak
months, which stipulation and clauses /
considered as variations from the law very
preiudicial to the State, especially In view Of
the facts that the railway company had dis
posed Of, or were authorized to dispose to
other persons than the State, two millions
and a laalf Of similar bonds secured by SINH
lar mortgage.
For more detailed statement of my OBJ
iections, and their consideration under the
Interpretation OF the law by the Supreme
Court, / beg leave to refer to the decision Of
that tribunal In the case Of the New Orleans
Railway Company Vs. Nichols, decided at
