To the Hon. the Common Council,

G.NsLEoMeN-At the instance of his Holler the
Mayor, il view of the prooability of an unusual rise
ill the Mioisoippi river , , on Saturday, the 15th inst.
proceeded to make, and completed n critical examina
ion of the Levees aollng the line of the city, and above,
as high up as Kenncr's plantation. where the M tairie
rildge meets ld connects wi:h the river ridge, within
which distance all danllger, if anyll, mils arise, as ap
prellnded o the overflow of the city from a crevasse.
Tile result of my investigation was highly satisfacto
ry and gratifying. as it affords me the pleaoure of be.
ill able to report to t1e hlonorable the Comlmo troun
eil, that tile levee, all along t0e said diltance, ar
strong, subslltantial, nlld. ill fact, ill a better conditionl
than I remembler to have ever seen them--nd that tn
my iudglmetl unless an extraordinary rise should
suddenlly ocur, there lreed be nlo apprehensions of an
overllow from crevasses etllertained.
The neos daily received from the upper rivers of
the breaking up of the Ice, and tle rise of the watersl
excited te mi of manyc for the time; but since.
we are credibly informed.s e waters are sus:iding.
and even here at our le'ee tie rise has ceased, aod
the river evidently going do'n aga i, so hat we mayi
oafely rest for the presellnt upon the heiglhtl and strenllgth

Upon a communulation from the Commissioners of
the eneralo estate of Johln MeDonough, relative to
certain taxes due by said estate to the city of New Or.
leanPe, and upo a iresolution dtirectiag the Assistant
City Attorney to suspentd all legal proceedings against
,id Commissloners of said estat, for the recovery of
taxes due the clty, your committee repnort adversely.
The faet that the MeDonotgh estate is held n nodti
itided ownership by the eities of New Orleans and
toltimoro, has given rise to a confusion of ideas as to
the position which said estate holds in relation to our
laws of taxation. In the first place, New Orleans
taking title to the undivided hatfof said estate subtject
to ihe purposes set forth ill tile will of the late John
MeDonough, it is by no means certain that the city
teould release its portion even when separated from
that which belongs to Baltimore, from the ecrlhen of
taxes, which, heing for the general interest, shouldbe
oocnd n equal proportion by all property within the
imits of the city, with the exception of snch properly
as may belong to the city by tttle, enabling It to dispose
nf the same at will.
Secondly. If New Orlean has taxed the entire etc
Donogh esnate for the years 1851, 1852 and 'tl53, and
tas received the amounts thus levied upon the same,
yet granting the position taken by the Commisioners
as to the legal exemption of the undivfded portion be.
coaging to New Orleans, we cate see uo reason forn
return, or reimursemente, of a moiety of said taxes.
The properly, heing held undivided and inocommon, it
is certainly most convenient that a tax, necesrarly
levied upon the whole, should he collected in fall ; for
the treasury in thereby enabled to receive the amount
due by Baitimore, while New Orloens, on its part re
celves by transfers a credit from tile hooks of the
Commissioner ton the hooks of its officers of the de
partments ofthe Treasurer and Comptroller. If one
,alf of the amount of taxes levied upon tile estate of
McDennogh, and nollected, in the years 1651, 1855 and
1853, is to lie reflunded to said estate, in accordance
wilth the prayer of the Commissioners, thie said half
should he credited upon the books of said estate, to the
rety of New Orleans; otherwise Batlimore would
reap in an equal proporlion with New.Orlennse the
benefit of the exemption from taxation which the
Commissioners claim for the yet undivided interest of
our city. But such a credit, if geiven, is of no more
vclue to the city than the same credit now standing
upon itc owln boks; and if it is not to be given, then
New Orleans is not, at this time, in a condition so
prosperou as to justify a donation to the citp of Balti
more of thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, being
the one.telf of the amount reclaimed in the memorial
referred to youreo nmiltee.
