Town of Ferriday v. Smith

The Town of Ferriday, a municipal corporation domiciled in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, brings this action against Frank Smith, formerly a resident of that town but now residing in Natchez, Mississippi, to recover the sum of $200.

Plaintiff alleged that during the year 1940, defendant operated a saloon in Ferriday; that he paid only $200 of the license tax of $400 levied by the municipality on each business of that character; and that he refuses to pay the balance due of $200.

A writ of attachment issued in connection with the suit's filing, and under it certain property owned by him was seized.
