the property taxpayers of said School
District No. 1, on the question of voting
a special tax of one mill for period of
ten years commencing with the fiscal

Shreveport for the high school building
shall cease as soon as the collection of
the special tax voted in election held
November 20, 1910, in School District
No. I shall become effective;
Now, therefore, pursuant to the au-
thority of said Act No. ESQ of 1910 and
acts amendatory thereof and of the said
vote and decision of the property tax

Be it ordained by the Parish Board OF
