Edey v. City of Shreveport

The plaintiffs in these several cases are seeking, via ordinaria, to enforce the mortgage and vendor’s privilege upon property sold by them respectively to the city of Shreveport. The answer denies the power of the city of Shreveport to execute the notes and mortgage; denies that they were ever executed by said city or its authority; denies specially the right of the person or persons professing to sign said instruments, to stipulate on behalf of said city to pay attorney’s fees and eight per cent, interest; to waive appraisement; to insert the pact de non alienando and to pay costs of copies.
