| Whereas, That on the Second day Of
August, 1900, this Police Jury passed an
ordinance for the purpose of creating the
New Iberia and Bayou Ca1lin Drainage
District and appointing three commission
ers therefor, fixing the boundaries and
designating its domicile; and whereas,
| under said ordinance commissioners were
appointed for said drainage district and
were qualified and entered upon the dis
charge of their duties and whereas they
ordered an election to be held in the said
drainage district for the purpose of decid-
ing whether or not tax for drainage pu1-
poses should be levied upon all the prop
erty within the limits of said drainage
district and whereas the validity of the
said drainage district, thus created, in so
far as it included any portion of the terri
tory included within the corporate limits
of the City of New Iberia, has been ques-
toned and the right of the commissioners
in said district to call an election, levy
and assess taxes incur debts, and issue
bonds as contemplated by Article 2Sl of
the Constitution, has been assailed and
questioned by suit: and whereas the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of Louisiana
has been rendered in said suit adverse to
said District and to the right of the com
missioners thereof to call an election,
incur debts, issue bonds and levy taxes as
aforesaid; and whereas the said New
Iberia and Bayou Carlin Drainage District
has been duly dissolved in accordance
with law by an ordinance of this Police
Jury, adopted, read and signed in open
session on this day; and whereas, further
on or about the tenth of May, 1902, while
the said New Iberia and Bayou Carlin
Drainage District was still an existing
corporation, and while the commissioners
of said district were still continuing in the
discharge of their duties as such, this Pc
lice Jury enormously undertook and at
tempted to create another drainage Dis
trict composed of a portion of the lands of
said New Iberia and Bayou Carlin Dram
age District, and to which District another
name, to-wit-The Bayou Carlin Drainage
District-was given.
And whereas, the said attempt was
erroneous, illegal and ultra wires and
therefore NULL and whereas the commits
sioners appointed under this last recited
ordinance have called no election and have
all resigned their said commissioners; and
whereas under the provisions of law and
more particularly by See. 9 of Act 159 of
the session, of the General Assembly of
1902 the said New Iberia and Bayou Car
lin Drainage District has been dissolved,
now, therefore Section l be it ordained by
