explanation Of his reasons Tor doing so.
The question now being on the adop-
tion OF the bill, Mr.. White moved to
amend by inserting Estate and parish
taxes.
Mr.. Eustis moved as substitute to
insert Estate, parochial and municipal
taxes"
Mr.. Robertson moved to lay the SUBJ
stitute on the table. Motion lost, and
the adoption OF the substitute being. in
order, Mr.. White spoke In opposition
to including municipal taxes In the SUB
stitute, which he thought should be LETT
| to the discretion OF the city.
Mr.. Zacharie further argued the pro.
priety OF the question involved In the
matter as one for serious consideration.
| The law in measure had been crystal
Iized. albeit by hostile legislation. In
such manner that 1t would not be pru.
dent to deal precipitately or immaturely
with it, and he therefore begged the
| Senators not to be hasty in their action,
particularly the Senators from the
country, who cannot 80 well understand
the extent and nature OF the interests
OF the city.
The yeas and nays being called for on
the adoption OF the Eustis substitute,
Mr.. Goode said he was opposed to draw,
ing any distinction between the city and
country, and after due consideration OF
the objections which had been raised
he thought them unfounded.
Mr.. Robertson said he would vote no,
because he was opposed to creating u
premium by remission for the nom
payment OF taxes.
The vote resulted az follows: Yeas
Ducros, Eustis, Garland, George,
Goode, Grover, Ogden, Perkins, Sandi-
ford and Texada. Nays Breaux, Ellis.
Mitchell, Richardson, Robertson, Ste
ven, Stubs, Wheeler, White and Zach
arie.
There being tie. and the President
voting In the negative. the substitute OF
Mr.. Eustis was lost, and the bill Was
finally passed, u motion to reconsider
being lost.
