• 52 La. Ann. 1082

Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1.. The ordinances of the City Council assailed are not ultra vires, unreasonably discriminative or oppressive. They are not ultra vires because they lie within the scope of the police power of a city for the purpose of enabling it to enforce inspection laws and to see to sanitary conditions. They are not unreasonable; because no evidence shows their unreasonableness, and the presumption is that it gives all convenience possible to the vendors and consumers, consistent with sanitary conditions. It is not discriminative and oppressive, because the ordinances are of a general character and affect all interests alike.</p> <p>2. Judgment as relates to the issues of law affirmed and issues of facts reserved, to be passed upon in same case, on application for a writ of certiorari.</p>
