The following communication was re-

Lafayette, La, Oct. Q, 1908.
Mayor of Lafayette, La.
Dear Sir:-This is to advice >e.--slf aud
the city council of Lafayette, that the re-
cent ordinance lately adopted by that body
ordering assessment of only two thirds OF
the actual costs of paving certain side walks
of the town against the property owners
abutting on the side walk, instead of as
sessing the whole costs of said side walks, as
fixed by the Legislature IN whom TINS power
is-exclusively vested, is considered illegal in
so far as it attempts to charge the property
benefited with only two-thlrds of the benefit
received, and to charge the other third to
other property owners, who under the law,
! as above stated, in the contemplation of the
Legislature, receive benefit, and unless
the ordinance is amended as to conform
10 the law by charging the abutting owners,
all the costs, judicial proceedings will be in
stituted to prevent the contamination of any
70 !
to avoid unnecessary litigation, 1 sugges
that this question be examined by yourself
| and the council, to the end that litigation b'
avoided if my views are concurred in.
Yours respectfully,
ORrHER &. MOUTON
Whereupon the city council having con
slered above notice and finding that the.
are without authority in law to pay any por
ton of said walks, adep.ed the following
