courts, and shall be divided as nearly as
practicable between them, the said courts
having been designated by thea dministra-
tor of Finance, as required by the amendment
to section twenty-one of the city charter.
Mr.. Walton said he introduced this reso-
luton under advice. He had been informed !
that there would be lawsuits brought
against the city, not only on account of this |
but in consequence of the one
introduced by him and passed at the last |
session, which was as follows:
That all suits brought to enforce the col |
lection of taxes provided for in the amend |
ments to section twenty-One of the present |
city charter, shall be brought in the Fourth |
and Eighth District courts, and be divided |
rs nearly as practicable, equally between |
them, the said courts having been desig- |
mated by the Administrator Of Finance, as |
required in said amendments.
He did not think that this should at all |
influence the course of the Council. The |
amended charter said that all taxes should
De exigible lin such district courts of the
parish of Orleans as may be designated
)y the Administrator of Finance" and he |
lad designated these two courts The
)oint made was that the constitution did
lot give these courts jurisdiction. That
POINT would be contested by the parties in
crested.
The resolution was adopted.
