To the President and Members Police
Jury, Natchitoches Parish, La.
Natchitoches, La.
Gentlemen
In compliance with your request
through resolution passed at your
last meeting for an opinion as to
whether the Tax Assessor could be sued
upon his bond for the failure to list
and assess taxable property situated
in Natchitoches, | beg to state that
as | am not informed upon the facts
upon which any complaint may have
been made. can only refer you to
the law relating thereto.
Section seven of Act No. ITO OF 1898
provides, "That it is made the duty
of the Tax Assessor throughout the
state to place upon the assessment
list all property subject to taxation
including merchandise or stock in
trade on hand at the date of listing
within their respective districts or
parishes, and If any Tax Assessor
Shall Intentionally or knowingly or
through gross negligence omit any
taxiDle property from the assessment
list or permit the same to be omitted
1,a
solido shall be liable on his official
bond fol- the full amount OF the taxes
due on the property so omitted from
the list, together with ten per cent
annum interest thereon from the
maturity of said taxes, ten per cent
attorneys tees on the amount Of the
Judgment recovered against him and
all cost of the suit"
You will therefore readily see that
ability to recover against any tax
assessor upon his bond will depend
entirely upon the facts connected
with the failure of any property SUBJ
ject to taxation to be placed upon the
assessment rolls and taxes collected
thereon.
ff-tfle facts will show in SnS case
that an assessor knowingly or inten-
tionally or through gross negligence
failed to assess or in like manner per-
mitted same to be done, unauestion-
ably he would be with his surities
liable for the taxes due upon such
property, | will say however, that
because there should be property I'M
assessed, IL would be hardly fair TO
say that this was because OF gross
negligence of even negligence on the
part of an Assessor. 1t is extremely
improbable that any assessor be he
ever 20 watchfuI and vigilant who
would be able to get on the assess
ment rolls all the taxable property in
his parish, because it is hard matter
to get every tax payer to render a
true and correct list or property
owned by him. This could be greatly
lessened however by having each tax
payer actually swear to the list handed
in by him, the oath actually admins
tered by the Assessor or his deputies,
and any tax payer making false
statement therein could be prosecuted
for perjury. This would likewise be-
to the mutual benefit of the TAI
payers, for If he fails to make thi;
sworn statement, he is stopped from
ccntesting the assessment as made by
the tax assessors on his property.

WAR TO Be RESUMED
HOstilities in Balkans to Commence
Sunday if Not SOoner-Con-
ference j. Futile.

London, Jan. 15.-Official con-
firmation of the report that Car
Ferdinand and the members of the
Bulgarian cabinet had started at
midnight for Mustapha Pasha to
consult with General Salbaff, COM
mander-in-chief OF the Bulgarian
army, was received here today in a
dispatch from Sofia. This move is
generally believed here to mean that
the allies were in earnest in their
declaration that the war would be
resumed when the powers had pre-
sented their note 10 Turkey.
Reschid Pasha, the chief Turkish
envoy, conferred at great length here
this afternoon with the German am
bassador.
Car Ferdinand and his cabinet
will inspect the troops about the
Tchatlja Notifications.

London, Jan. 15.-Unless Turkey
recedes Immediately from its belig-
erent stand it seemed certain here
today war in the Balkans will be
resumed Sunday.
When the Balkan conveys meet
this afternoon they may end peace
negotiations at once, and in that
event the four days time limit pro-
vided in the protocol would expire
Saturday night.
Premier Daneff, chief of the. Bull
garian ENJOYS, does not expect the
Porte to recede from it's position, nor
does he believe that the note of the
ambassadors to the sultan and his
advisors will prevent resumption of
the war. The Balkan representa-
tives have already packed in readi-
ness to catch the first train for their
homes.
The European ambassadors are in
conference here, but nothing is ex-
pected to result from the meeting.
1t was learned from a semi-official
source that the allies have agreed to
the powers proposal that Scutari
shall be included in the autonomy
extended to Albania.
