The Morgan's Louisiana and
Texas Railroad and Steamship
Company and Mr.. J. Warren Fos-
ter filed last Tuesday in the office
of the Clerk o. the District Court,
a suit against the Iberia, St. Mary
and Eastern Railroad, praying
that the tax election recently held
in the Third Ward, granting a
bonus of 5 mills tax to the rail-
road, be declared illegal, and that
the levy of the 5-mill tax by the
Police Jury, based upon the re-
suit of the election, be declared
null and void, and that the as
SCISSOR and sheriff of the Parish Of
St. Mary be permanently enjoined
from assessing aud ievylng the
tax. The petition was signed by
D. Gallery, Jr., R. E. Milling, K.
E. Brumb by and R. G. Milling, as
attorneys for the petitioners The
basis OF the attack is the uncon'
stitutlonality of the act under
which the election was called, the
insufficiency of legal signatures
to the petition, the assistance OF
voters at the polls, the legality OF
the assessment rol! used at the
Baldwin poll and the lack OF the
qualified number OF votes neces-
sary to constitute majority IN
number and amount. The Of
flcers of the iberia, st. Mary
and Eastern Railroad are +.

A. Peterman, vice-president, and
