The Exposition Amendment.

A changed situation Great
ed by the necessity for raising
a guarantee fund of seven and
half million dollars instead OF
the FIVE million dollars or:
iginally provided for resulted
in the extra session Of the
General Assembly, which
Governor Sanders convened
in response to requests from
the Exposition Company, and
various exchanged and com
mercial organizations of the
City. The amendment which
was enacted by the regular
session held last May provided
for a tax Of { Of a mill on all
taxable property i'll the coun-
try and 6-S of a mill Oh all
taxable property i'll the City
OF New Orleans. That tax
was intended to produce four
million dollars, the ratio be.
ing ] from the country parish
es and ] from the City.
When, in order to call the
bluff made by San Francisco
it became necessary to raise
the guarantee fund to seven
and one half millions it was
proposed that the extra ses-
sion should amend the joint
resolution submitted by the
recent session of the Legisla-
ture in such a way as to limit |
the amount to be paid by the
country to one million dollars
and to require New Orleans
to raise the six and one half
millions, extending the time
Of the tax until the necessary
amount should be realized.
The duty of preparing the
amendment was imposed upon
the law Committee of the Ex- /,
position Company, and that
Committee submitted the a.
mendment now before the
General Assembly.
The Law Committee was Of {
he opinion that it was mad
'lsable to attempt to amend :
| joint resolution already ELI a
and pending its ratifica t
ion, Moreover, such a course O
'ould be confusing to the b
aters and would probably re
