AN ACT


For the relief of delinquent taxpayers of
the parish of Claiborne, and to facilitate
the collection of back taxes in said par.
ish and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, There was no assessor and col
lector for the parish of Claiborne for the
year 1869 and portion of the year 1870,
owing to dispute which arose between
Governor Warmoth and Auditor Wickliffe
as to the right of different parties claiming
said office of assessor and collector for said
parish, in consequence or which the tax
PAYERS of said parish of Claiborne, without
any fault of their own, had taxes to pay on
two full tableaux during the year lS7 l, and
are therefore necessarily more largely de-
linquent than they otherwise would be; and
Whereas, The said parish of Claiborne is
located in remote region OF the State, cut
off from ready communication with New
Orleans, where they ship their cotton and
obtain funds to pay their taxes and other
debts; and
Whereas, The revenue law, as it has
stood and now stands, closes the collection
of faxes during that particular time and
season of the year when the people of Clai-
borne parish have more money than at any
other given period; and
Whereas, The people of said parish of
Claiborne are noted for their general
w.
a general rule; therefore.
SECTION l. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives Of the State
of Louisiana in General Assembly con-
vened, That the tax collector of the parish
of Claiborne be and is hereby authorized
and directed to proceed with the collection
of delinquent taxes in his parish on the
tableaux of 1869 and 1870, without for
fixture or penalty to either the taxpayer or
the collector, up TO date of August |, 1873,
and the said collector ia hereby authorized
to retain in his possession said delinquent
tableaux TO that date, for the Said purpose
of so collecting said delinquent taxes; pro
vided, that nothing herein contained shall
be so construed as to prevent the prompt
collection of said faxes under the usual
legal process.
SEC 2 Be it further enacted. etc, That
all laws, or parts of laws, in conflict with
this act be and the same are hereby re-
pealed, so far as the same may apply to the
said parish Of Claiborne, and this act shall
take effect from and after its passage.
