emit OF Public Education to pay, for the relief
OF the Board Of Public Schools OF New. Or
leans, certain school revenues derived from
tax. payments OF said city for the years 1877
For the reason that during those years,
with the stricteet economy on the part Of the
directors Of said schools, q deficiency to the
extent of the amount claimed exists, and
which cannot otherwise be met.
The entire tax of the current school fund Is
| $4,000, New Orleans ls required TO pay to-
wards this amount $292.000, or eleven-sevep-
teenths Of the entire amount, thus receiving
only onezfourth Of the amount collected for
the benefit Of her own schools
The report Of the Auditor shows that the
amount Of revenues credited to the current
school fund Of 1877, up to the thirty-hrst OF
December, amounted to $229,000. Of which
amount the city Of New Orleans paid sl4s,75o,
the rest OF the State only $78,905.
For many years the country parishes have
been the aImoners of the bounty derived from
the city by the tax for public school purposes.
She now asks that for single year q portion
and which is absolutely required to pay her
own teachers for the education Of her own
children, may be returned to her.
Believing Chat the appeal which she makes
is reasonable and just, and having received
the unanimous approval of the Committee on
City Affairs, 1 dissent from the report Of the
majority Of our committee, and present this
bill. T. HASAM, in,
