A Question OF Law.

E6rToR HERALD: see in the Er-
press Of yesterday publication of the
opinion of the District Attorney to the
Board. of Supervisors in regard to the
assessment against the lot whereon is
situated the Court-houlse for the i'm
provement OF Main street in this city,
wherein he states that the property is
exempt from taxation by reason of
section 3,307 of the Political Code.
1t cannot be disputed that he is cor
rect in saying that the property of the
county is exempt from taxation, but
think he fails to draw the distinction
between taxation to raise mcney for
carrying on the State, county and mu-
nicipal governments, and assessments
levied for the purpose of making local
improvements. The Supreme Court
of this State has frequently drawn
the distinction and has shown that
such assessments are not included
within the term taxes or taxation.
Section 3,507 of the Political Code re-
fers to taxes as commonly understood
and not to assessments for local i'm
provement. 1t is within the power of
the Legislature to prescribe the basis
and mode of apportionment of such
assessments as the one in question; it
J has decided that such improvements
shall be made at the cost of the own
ers of the real estate benefited. 1t is
true that no obligation to pay money
is created against the State or against
a county, unless with its permission,
but here, in not excepting the prop
erty of the county from assessments
for local improvements, the State not
only consents but commands that the
county shall pay its proportion Of all
such expenses.
/ make these suggestions, feeling
confident that no one will more read
lily than the District Attorney appre-
ciate whatever merit they possess, /
think that the law requires the county
to pay its assessments in all such
matters; as to the equity and justice,
ii is not necessary to discuss. II.

depots, ETC., will be to them . total loss.
The lands and lots they have sold, belong
ing to the old company, will revert back to
that company, and the purchasers will find
themselves without title in law. What
amount of money Ludeling q 20. have ex-
pended in reconstruction, buildings. en-
rines. etc.. we have no means OF knowing,
Int It ia generally believed that beside the
large amount obtained from the sale OF
State bonds granted to Ludeling e. Co.,
the individual members of the company
have expended largely Of their own means,
and that their losses in this way Will be
yery heavy.
The company is composed OF }. i. Lude-
ling, John Ray, w. r. Gordon, +. +. Stubbs,
G. C. Waddell, Frank MOrey, John hleln,
H. M. Bry, aud others whose names we do
not now recollect. The road is in fair run
ming order, with some five or six engines,
a number of cars, depot buildings, and q
machine shop at this place. At the time OF
the sale, it was estimated that it would cost
$500 600 to rebuild and restock the road;
but we are satisfied that Ludeling d Co.
have expended over three times this
amount That part of the road from
Shreveport to the Texas line, now in daily
use, also goes back to the old company.
As to the stockholders in the old road we
do not suppose that they are benefited by
this decision. The mortgage debt, with &C.
crued interest at eigh hit per cent we believe,
since 1862, will about cover fair valuation
of the road even now, to cay nothing of the
claims held by the State for bonds issued
prior to the war, which claim. however,
may have been released.
A large number Of our readers will be
anxious to know what effect this sudden
change in the ownership of the road will
have upon the prospect OF its early compile
ton from this place to Shreveport. This is
q question dependent upon the laws delays.
