New Orleans, January 2. 1911.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council COyinP tOn La:
Gentlemen--The Commercial Ma
tional Bank of New Orleans has
placed with me for attention, claim
against A. j. Bryan, lately con-
tractor and builder on the new school
building of Covington.
The claim is represented by his
note, secured by means Of pledge
by him, of an acknowledgment for
$4,000 in his favor, issued by the
town of Covington. I am informed
that the town subsequently issued
certificates of indebtedness in de-
nominations of $4,000 each, in Mr..
Bryan's favor, the payment of which
Is to be made from the proceeds OF
the special tax voted for school pur-
poses; and that one of these certi-
Gates is now held by the town, to
W SASAoA6So AoA kAC 6ShAOU
ment of $4,000, above referred to,
which is held by the bank in pledge.
The bank is willing to substitute
the $4,000 Aertificate for the
$4,000 acknowledgment of indebt-
edness above mentioned, and will
enter into a stipulation to hol6 the
town of harmless against any action
BY Ryan arising from this exchange.
AS this proposal was first made
in March last, my client feels that
the offer should be passed upon with
out any further delay and trusts that
such will be the case.
Very Respectfully,
GEO. B. SMART.
