10 The Prrsident aud Members of the Polio,
Jury Of the Parish of Lafouvche

Gentlemen, The undersigned wonld ro
s%pectfully call your attention IT, section 5
Ordinance No. l39 of your Honorable Bod
which likes u tax OIL rice fumes. in acco.
dance with the provisions of section 6 nj
Act No. " OF the session of 1880.
Your petitioners would represent. that
the amount adopted, fifty ceuts. pernendic
ular foot is excessive, and that it is a mat
ter of impossibility for the majority of tho
planters to pay said tax. in view Of shc linn
ted quantity Of rice land which they have
under cultivation.
Your petitioners would also invite vonr
attention to the fact, that this tax or license
must, according to the provisions of the
law, DO paid every year; whilst. it fre.
quently happens. as for instance in the
year 1879, and also in the present wear
tnat the rice crop ia lost, Or at least serious
~ injured by the falling Of water at the
very time when it is most needed, and that
therefore, 1t would be unjust to these gnoI
people, TO compel them to pay q tax on an
object. from which they derive no benefit.
YOUR petitioners respectfully request. re-
ierring to section II Of said act I. that your
honorable body would delegate to the L.
wee and Road Inspectors, the authority of
the President Of the Police jury in S:.rt !.
ing permits to cut cut the levees. when
such permits are allowable agreeablv to
the provisions OF said Section, tor the reas.
on that 1t is almost impossible to the great
er number OF said small planters to annlv
PERSONALITY tor such permits TO the Presi.
dent of the Police Jury. on account of tia
distance, of the want of Transportation and
OF the loss of time aud money which such a
personal application would involve.
Your petitioners would finally request
tnat yonr Honorable Body would pass an
