Iios files the following protest:
To the Hon. Members of the Police Jury of the
Parish OF ST. Landry
Now comes Dr.. Vincent Boagni, a citizen and
taxpayer, and files this, his protest, against
his present assessment for the year 1880, OF the
items OF property on the annexed list for the
following reasons:
1st. Said property was added TO the assess
ment returned by him to the assessor, without
any notification to him, which action he sub
mits is illegal.
md. Because said alleged items of property
are not in his possession excepting judgments
of G. III. Conieau and CD. Andrus, and as to
said judgments the first is not worth in cash
over $25, and the latter not over $3.50.
3rd. Because said items of property are not
subject to taxation.
Wherefore he prays that all Of said items be
judgments above named, which should be re-
duced to the amounts above set forth.
