Big Lawsuit Filed to Collect
Special Taxes in Aid
of Schools.


of Schools.
New Orleans. La, Jan. %, 1907.
Hon. ]. b Aswell. State Superintendent Of Pub
lie Education, Baton Rouge. La.
Dear Sir:-I have your letter OF the
21st inst. enclosing me one to Won of
the 18th inst from Mr.. NJ. E. Swat
ford sheriff of the parish of Grant,
which l return you herewith. Mr..
Swafford asks you to submit to me
a question of right on his part to col
lect special school taxes voted in GER
tain wards or school districts Of his
parish from railroads running
through such wards or school dis
tricts.
lam not prepared to give def
nive opinion on the subject of the
right to collect from railroads spe-
cial school taxes levied under the
Constitution OF 1898, for the reason
that the identical question submit
ted to me by Mr.. STAFFORD and YOUR
self is now presented in the suit of
Louisiana and Northwest Railroad
Company VIZ. State Board of Apprais-
ers, which was filed in the Baton
Rouge Court on the 7th of last
month. | intend to represent the
State Board of Appraisers in that
suit, and expect to take the position
that special school taxes may he col
lected from Observation-Disclosures
the exemption from taxation in favor
OF railroads provided by Article 900
of the Constitution of 1898. Howev-
er, l am not prepared to say what
the Court will hold, and for thut rea
son, think it prudent that | should
not now express my opinion on the
subject in regard to the school taxes
in Grant parish during the tendency
OF this suit.
hope to bring this case to trial
very soon and will endeavor to bring
it up on appeal to the Supreme Court
before adjournment. In the mean
time it would be right and proper
that all 0f the assessors throughout |
the State should extend on their as
sessment rolls all special school taxes
voted in their several parishes, re-
gardless of the fact that some of these
extensions would affect railroads,
and it would be proper and right
where such extensions of taxes have
been made by the assessors, for the
sheriffs of such parishes to call on the
railroad companies to pay
the same.
OF course, if the sheriffs referred to
are prevented by any legal proceed
ings from collecting such taxes, they
must necessarily desist until the ques-
ton is decided. 1t might be that an
agreement could be entered into be-
tween the sheriffs and the various
railroad companies throughout the
State by which they will consent to
pay the taxes due the various school
districts whenever the question has
been settled in a suit where the ga me
may be presented. My opinion is
that the case in the Baton Rouge
Court referred to presents the ques-
ton fully. Yours very truly,
}. WALTER GuIoN.
