PART VI. DISSOLUTION OF MUNICIPALITIES
SUBPART A. ABOLITION BY PROCLAMATION OF GOVERNOR
§231. Abolition of municipality not containing one hundred inhabitants; debt not discharged
If in any case a census taken by resolution of the board of aldermen of any municipality created after July 29, 1898, shows that the municipality contains less than one hundred inhabitants, the governor shall issue his proclamation abolishing the same; and thenceforward it shall not exercise any corporate power or function whatever, and shall cease to exist. The person who was mayor thereof, at the time shall record the proclamation on the minute book and deposit the same with all of the other records of the defunct corporation, in the office of the clerk of the district court of the parish, who shall receive the same, and preserve them as records; but such dissolution shall not relieve the property theretofore liable for the debt of the municipality.
In the performance of his duties under this Section, the governor shall not be bound by the returns of a census, if he is of the opinion that the same are fraudulent. In such case, he may ascertain the facts for himself, in such manner as he may deem proper, and abolish municipalities accordingly.
