Syllabus

<p>LEVEE DISTRICT — CONTRIBUTIONS ON SUGAR CANE — VALIDITY.</p> <p>1. The authority granted by Act No. 97 of 1S90 to the board of commissioners of the Atchafalaya Basin levee district to impose a local contribution on sugar, molasses, and syrup, does not warrant the imposition of a contribution on sugar cane; and the penalties denounced by that act, and by Act No. 65 of 1894, against those who remove from the district produce on which the local assessment has not been paid, is not incurred by so removing sugar cane.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.).</p>
