The city council of New Orleans appears de-
termlned to deal in summary mode with all
refractory taxpayers. An ordinance has been
passed which directs the treasurer to immedi
atcly report to the assistant city attorney the
names ofall persons who are carrying on trades
and professions, subject to license tax, without
having paid the same; and that the attorney be
instructed to, without delay, institute prosecu-
tons against them before the recorder of the
district in which the business is conducted, for
the payment of the fine denounced against
them for the violation of the tax ordinance. In
case the person prosecuted does not pay the fine
imposed for the non-payment of, or refusing to
pay taxes the recorder is empowered to con-
Tenn him 70 an Imprisonment in the parish jail
or period not exceeding thirty days, or until
he tine is paid. The ordinance further pro-
'ldes that if any person continues to carry on
)
us business after complaint is made against
i'm, lie shall be liable to fine of not less than
ne hundred, nor more than ivc-hundred dol
'rs for each day thus offending.
According to the tenor ofthis ordinance tho
eglect to take out license, must be considered
criminal offence. 1
