from the School Board requesting that
q portion of the taxes of 1882 should
be set apart for school purposes. This
body, in view of the fact that the
taxes for the year 1882 had already
been levied and apportioned, and that
the parish is still in debt, deem it at

pirate any portion Of the taxes of 1852
toward the maintaining of the free
public schools If this parish.
