Three hundred and seventy five dollars was allowed the official journal in payment for publishing a list of those entitled to the tax. The following rules governing the establishment of claims against the fund were adopted: First All claims against the direct tax fund 6hall be tifed with the governor, and be verified by affidavit that the claimant or those for whom he Js legal representative by descent, devise or otherwise, paid to the collector of the United Stated the amount on account of the direct tax fund levied by the act of congress of the 5th of August. 1861. and all such claims, when filed, shall be registered in a book to be kept by the auditor of public accounts and be stylea the "direct tax book."

The commission will hold it first meeting to pass upon claims January 10 next, and at such times thereafter as the commission may determine. The following appeal TO THE BOARD OF AUDIT AKf EXCHANGE has been filed here: We. the undersigned holder of consolidated state bonds (for oar own account or In trust for other), desiring to effect safe and peed exchange of same for tbe new state bonds, uiost respectfully petition your toouorable body to so aiueud rules and regulations adopted Aim. 19, 1892.

as to admit of bolder retaining possession of tbeir bonds until tbe actual exchange is effected. Tbe great bulk of the consolidated bonds Is tieJd either In trust or in pledge in some form by ottienra of batiks and other oorpor ations. and other trustees or adiuiuistra 5 tors of trust funds, whose authority would be exceeded if tney parted with one form of security wltnout simultaneously receiv log tbe substitute security. It Is therefore of vital importance that tbe exchange into the new bonds be facil tated in every way consistent with act No. 66.

which Terr properly leaves the details almost entirely to the discretion ot yvur honorable board. Ail railroads risks tonegot table bonds may be avoided and the exchange best effected. If tbe board will deputize one or more of its members to make tbe actual exchange of bonds in New Orleans. This to be done after tbe board in session in Baton Rouge ball bave acted favorably upon duplicate lists ot numbers, etc, received from applicants accom pauied by the fee for each bond to be acted upon. If the board so desire, applicants may deposit bond for exchange witb any bank in New Orleans that may certify to the board that said bonds are in band ready for exchange.

If. however, no plan of exchange of bonds In lew Orleaus be considered feasible, we do most earnestly beg that the ten days' rule be amended, that the board remain in continuous teswion through the mouths of November and December, and that the, actual exchange of bonds be effected tbe self same day. This is to be accomplished as fast as tbe corresponding duplicate list of numbers, etc, sbi.il be acted upon favorably by the board, and applicants notified to present tbeir bonds for exchange. The time is so short between this first business meeting and the 1st day of January, 1S'J3. that we most anxiously await your adoption of the plan deemed best by the board to the great Interest involved.
