The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1907-07-06

Mr.. Marsh made the report that
they went to Charenton to lay out
a public road as requested by the
freeholders of the first ward, and
decided to recommend that the
road commissioner open and
work the road as laid out by them
going through the property OF
Mrs. E. Maynard, and requested
that the committees report be re-
ceived and filed, and that the
com mittee be discharged.
Adopted.
The parish attorney rendered
the following opinion:
TO the Honorable President and Mem
bers Of the Police Jury:
Gentlemen:-At your last meeting
you asked me to take some step look
ing to the regulating of the speed OF
rail road trains crossing the public
road near the station in the town OF
Franklin. Upon Investigating the
matter. find that the police jury is
without authority to pass any or
dinance regulating the speed of rail
| road trains within the parish, or in
passing any given point therein. This
issue was made and determined in the
case State of Louisiana and the parish
of Jefferson VS.. Dan Miller, II An.
page So. wherein the Court said, the
right to regulate the speed at which
rail road trains may run through their
parishes, or even the thickly settled
portions thereof, is not granted, either
expressly or by implication to police
juries. The same principal involved
in regulating the speed of trains, APP
plies in compelling railroads to place
hagmen at public crossings. 1t is
therefore my opinion that the police
jury is without authority to compel
the railroad to act in either case.
will state however that have written
to Mr.. f. B. Cushing, Superintendent
of the railroad and asked him to place
a fagmen at the crossing at Franklin
yet heard from him.
Respectfully submitted,
w. K. WILSON,
Parish Atty.
