State Court Clears Doubts on Road
Bonds.


Bonds.
New Orleans, June 2.-The
Louisiana supreme court decision
handed down today finally has
cleared away all doubts as to the
legality of issuing road bonds
carrying taxation at 10 mills for
a period of 40 years, which ques-
ton was recognized as so serious
that it was urged as one of the
capital reasons for the calling of
a special session of the legisla-
ture.
The question as to the validity
of bonds in Louisiana was settled
in the decision handed down by
Associate Justice O'Neil in the
suit of Daniel E. Sheridan vs..
Police Jury of Washington par
ish, involving the point as to
whether road bonds could be
voted for only five years at a
rate of taxation of 5 mills.
Attorneys had differed, some
claiming that recent decisions
of the supreme court had held
that bonds could be voted fol-
only five years and taxes levied
for only five mills. The court
declares that Article 281 of the
constitution of 1918, as amended
by act 1872 of 1912, later ADOPTED
by the people as a part of the
constitution, is in force and au
thorized the voting of bonds fol
a period of 40 years at a rate OF
not exceed 10 mills, and that an!
Interpretation of any previou!
decisions to the contrary will
not be adhered to. 1t is expect
ed that this will settle the ques
ton and road issues will be votet
thereafter as heretofore.
