Your committee respectfully begs leave
to report an act relative to the payment OF
parish taxes by Incorporated cities and
towns, and recommend its passage.
The effect of this bill will be to relieve
the General Assembly from the constant
pressure brought against it for the purpose
of exempting Incorporated towns from the
payment of parish taxes. 1t provides a
uniform system by which each incorporated
| town will be required to pay its just pro-
portion of all parish taxes, while it relieves
them from unjust taxation for such pur-
| poses.
al: o: which is respectfully submitted.
