THE PARK TAX CASE

The argument of the application of Mr..
Edward Booth for an injunction to pre-
vent the city from levying the park tax
was completed yesterday in the Superior
Court, the plaintiff being represented by
Messrs. Fellows & Mills, and the inter-
vening defendants, Messrs Hanlon and
Burthe, by Mr.. Ray and Messrs. Kennard,
Howe and Prentiss. In his oral argument
Judge Howe adduced decisions of the
highest courts of this and other States, to
the following effect:
1. That the allegation that the law was
unconstitutional because it was not equal
and uniform throughout the State was
incorrect in law, inasmuch as that require
ment does not apply to local taxation for
local purposes.
2. That the allegation Of plaintiff that
neither he nor the citizens of New Or
leans had been consulted in the passage
Of the park acts was incorrect in fact, as
they had been represented in the Legisla-
ture; and if it meant that their individual
wishes had not been consulted by the
members Of the Legislature, it was irrele-
want, for no such consultation was neces-
sary.
8. That the 'Legislature has the power,
in the absence of special constitutional
limitation, to provide for city park, and
compel the city to levy tax for such
local improvement, for the benefit of the
health Of the people and the education Of

their taste; that especially had the Legs
lature the right to pass the laws in ques-
ton, for by their permission one-hatf the
tax is to be expended on the old City
Park, already oeo,eed by the city when the
laws were introduced
+. 4. That so far as the record showed the
city of New Orleans as judicial belng'
and all her inhabitants, except Mr.. Booth,
the plaintiff, were in favor of the park
tax; that the city had collected it, by am
icable demand and by suit for three years,
and as plaintiff alleged was going to do 1t
again; and, therefore, the plaintiff alone
had no right to demand an injunction
against an ordinance which every one else
in the city wished to have adopted $50
far as the court could legally know.
The court refused the injunction, chiefly
for the last reason, and advised MIR. Booth
as a member of the Legislature to take
such steps there as public policy might
dictate and the constitution permit. Ii
Mr.. Booth had been as Jealous as mem
Der of Legislature in which he never
appeared, as he has attempted to be as a
"citizen perhaps this park tax, which
now causes him so much uneasiness,
could have been repealed last winter, and
twelve months of vested rights choked
off Let his failure in this his last ven
ture warn him against the folly of neg
lecting the proper remedy for his fancied
misfortunes.
