Leche, urging him tc provide for readjustment of the present $2 sulphur severance tax at the expected special legislative session. The Council joined in the action taken by the New Orleans Association of Commerce which not only directed a resolution to Governor but also appealed to every chamber of commerce and civic group in the state to urge the tax reduction which it termed vitally necessary in order to bring the state 100 per cent in line with the Governor's aggressive trialization program.
