Morgan City Wins Out il,
Criminal Tax Suit
Brought by Par
ish Seat
St. Mary Parish Sought Crimi-
nal Tax for Year
1917 Against
City

Franklin, Dec. 3O-The suit Of the
Parish of St. Mary against the town
of Morgan City for payment of crinl-
inal tax of 1917 was taken up FRI
day and disposed. The Parish was
represented by it's District Attorney,
Hon. Percy Saint and the town Of
Morgan City by Mr.. R. c. Milling.
Judge Baker, after the trial of the
case had been concluded rendered
his judgment from the bench, ruling
that the Town of Morgan City should
not be made by the Parish to pay
a Criminal Tax out of the revenues
or tax levy which it makes annual
ly, and that the Town as a corpora
tion did not owe the tax. The Parish
through its attorney has filed for
NAL motion for new trial and will
take an appeal to the appellate court.
The Parish has not received any
payment for the criminal tax Of
1917 and 1918 from the corporation
of Morgan City, which through it's
Mayor and Councilman has stated
that it did not owe such tax and
would assume no further responsible.

This decision handed down COIN
cides with the belief, Of Mayor Shan
non and our city attorney. This tax,
if imposed would amount to two and
a quarter mills. AS Morgan City
has taken the stand that there could
not possibly be tax assessment,
though heretofore they have paid it,
they came to the conclusion that the
tax was a parish tax and not city
tax, under that impression the tax
was refused. The city council Of Nor
gan City has upheld this view with
the result that the trial Judge at
the court sessions has vindicated the
legal decisions Of this city.
