OPINION OF gHE CITY ATTORNEY,
CIGT ATTORNEYS OFF:cE,
October 49, 1872.
IN tie matter Of the release Of General
Twiggs property from municipal taxa
tion-Respecttully returned to the Admin
istrator Of Assessments.-The Legislature
by act No. l22, passed in the year 1866,
having exempted certain property from
taxation; the Common Council OF New Or
leans, by ordinance duly adopted that year,
having fully recognized that exemption,
and the Assistant City Attorney having
granted a certificate to the effect that the
heirs Of D. Z. Twiggs are entitled to the
cancellation of certain taxes, ] can not
recognize the right of the city now to open
the question and insist upon the payment
of taxes
Good faith, # not law, is a sufficient
shield of protection for the heirs.
GEORGE S. LACEY, City Attorney.
Res0Iced, That the Administrator OF Fl.
nance is hereby authorized to cancel the
Judgment rendered in the Sixth District
