House bill No. $50. OF the session of 1879,
entitled
An &ct to enable owners Of immovable
property to test the legality Of any mortgage
or privileges claimed by the State,
Was taken up.
The Executive message in relation to the
bill was read, as follows @
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
State OF Louisiana.
New Orleans. January -. 1890. }
To the Speaker and Members of the House OF
Representatives:
ffentlemen-I have examined and taken into
consideration bill entitled
IAN act to enable owners of immovable
property to test the legality Of any mortgage
on privileges claimed by the State"
And now return it to the House of Repre-
sentatIves, where 1t orig mated at the last
session Of the General Assembly, without my
approval.
The passage Of such an act as the present
would open floodgate of litigation under
circumstances ruinous to the interests OF the
Stats and persons holding Just clattns against
her. The suits authorized to be brought
would generally originate In courts OF the low
est jurisdiction. They would be brought
simultaneously in places widely separated,
and It would be utterly impossible for ths
district attorneys to properly represent the
State.
The result would be that hundreds of suits
would go ny default, decisions wrongly given
would become final by lapse OF time or through
In all proceedings where tho State Ii cast
would be thrown upon her, ard altogether a
condition OF things would be brought about
by this bill which no We'll administered State
should authorize.
