L. w. Baker, president of
the Board of School Directors
of the parish of Bossier, La,
ther presented the following
petition in words and figures
as follows, to-wit:
To THE POLICE JURY OF Bos.
sIER PARIsH-Geptleneea In be-
half of the people of Bossier
parish, L will say 70 you, that as
President Of the School Board of
Bossier, L have repeatedly de-
manded of 7. W. Conway, State
Superintendent of Education, and
James Graham, Auditor of Louis
lana, report of the amount of
poll tax fund due to Bossier par.
ish, and that they have positively
refused to render such account.
Previous to the year 1870, the
law provided, That ninety per
cent. of the poll tax should be ap-
propriated exclusively to Public
School purposes, in the parishes
where the same was paid, and the
balance to charitable purposes.
See R. r. S., Secs, 1925 and 1925.
By the Revenue Act of 1870
and subsequent enactments on
the subject-this law was changed
only in this: That ten per cent. of
TIE poll tdc shall be paid into the
State Treasury, to the credit Of the
Charity Hospital fund. See act No.
: 6S, Ext. Ses. 1870, p. 127, sec. 8;
l Act No. ~, 1871, p. 1O5, sec. 8;
( Act No. IA, 1872, sec. L. 81,
!, This ninety per cent. of the poll
) tax is not a part of the State
p School Revenue, see Act No. 6.
Ext. Ses. 1870, p. %, secs. 81 and
q 50; neither does the law provide
for any of the State officers to re-
. ceive, control, keep or pay out the
3 same; and, since 1871, no liability
attaches to State Tax Collectors
), on their bonds for the poll tax, a,
it is not assessed and charged
II against them by the State. See
n Act No. AZ, 1871, p. lis, sec. 40.
/ In the years 1868, 1869 and 1876
n there were more than $500 per
g sons in Bossier parish liable fol
poll taxes, which shows a deficit
q or delinquency, in favor of thu
l. parish of about s11, 900 at the ent
of the year 1871, and for the pres
: ent year there will be about 5000
more due from the same source
making the sum of about s14,00'
a of money belonging to the peopl
of Bossier parish, in the hands G
: irresponsible parties.
