his remedy was through the Legislature
that they had no funds TO meet claims OF
this kind. ! believe he was told that by
tho Board of Public Works. This work was
done under the supervision o! the sheriff Of
the parish, and think the State ought to
pay for it. IL the State has had this amount
OF work done on her levees. F. believe she
ought to pay for it. There Is 40 doubt IN

the liability of the State; and therefore
move that the bill be considered rs en-
crossed.
Mr. Lynch: This bill is simple Of itself.
| bat strongly object to the establishment
of the precedent That viii be made by lib

! should act l,Don this matter, and not the
| General Assembly. ! therefore hope tina.
