Why don't Tax-Collector Grady pro-
"ced to assess the property of the n.
l.. Il IT. Railroad, as he has been re-
Iuired to do: That corporation is a
large property holder in this city and
parish, and can we'll afford to bear its
share of the taxes. Under the ConSti-
tuition the legislature is powerless to
exempt this property from taxation,
and we are waiting to be informed
why it is not assessed and taxed the
same as are the people who built the
road.
