Exempt from Taxation.

The suit instituted by the parish
against Mr.. Numa Schayat, who
| lives in what is known as the Nc
Comb addition, for license tax
was decided by Judge Allen last
Tuesday in favor of the defendant.
The suit was for the recovery of a
license tax rs retailer of spirituous IL
quors and retail merchant. The de-
PENDANT among other things, con-
tended that he, as resident of the
town, was exempt from the payment
of parish license by virtue of the
act of 1896 incorporating it, al
though the territory where he carries
on his business was not in the limits
of the corporation as therein fixed;
and this because thez<wn authori-
ties had, by al elecS amended
the charter, taking in the territory
in question. The parish contended
that this territory, having been
placed under the Jurisdiction of the
parish in 1898 when created, could
not be taken by the town to the ex-
clusion of the power of the parish to
tax 1.-THE same as other towns In
he parish. The judge found that
from the evidence these salient
facts appeared: that 1884, some time
after the town had taken in the |
territory, the then Police Jury ap-
pointed a committee to meet a like
from the City Council |
to confer and report as to whom !
vas due the licences from persons !
doing business there; that the joint
reported they were due
to the town; that this report was
adopted by the Police Jury, which
body never attempted to collect
licenses from that part of the town;
hat the town authorities took charge
IF the territory, made streets, etc.,
Ind that is was only several years
vhen new Police passed a resolu-
ion instructing the sheriff to collect
licenses.
Under these facts the court held
hat the parish had relinquished
is right to levy a license tax ON
people doing business in the terri
tory included in the corporation
limits as extended by the amend
nent. The judge added that the
question is involved in many le-
,al difficulties.
We understand that the case is
ppealable to the Supreme Court
