moFaiJ uau Tue vote Uoed n4iuS Iuo
Parish Site at any one of the points
mentioned in said Act. Hence I
am of opinion that said Act is in
violation of the letter and spirit of
Article 250 of the Constitution, for
the reason that, as whole, 1t is not
susceptible of ratification by the
voters of the parish. The voters
could not, neither could any other
authority, place the Parish Site at
all the places mentioned in said Act.
1t would seem that an election was
necessary to put IN force any Act
under said Article $50, not three or
a dozen elections, and if said Arti-
Gle authorizes three elections, why
not a dozen?
With these views briefly collated,
am compelled to hold that plain
tiffS contention must be sustained,
the injunction perpetuated, and the
said Act 80 declared uncoustitution-
al.
