The City Council, having decided to appeal to a higher court decision of the District Court against the City in the case of the heirs of the deceased Elisha Winter against the City, now had to put up a bond of 18,000 piastres in order to continue the appeal. The Council resolved to ask Jean Lanna, local property owner and holder of the contract on the municipal meat market, personally to secure the warrant. The remainder of the document set out an involved system by which the City would reimburse Lanna from the market rents due it for any losses or inconveniences he might experience as a result of the suit.
