Denied.

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, Justice,

concurs in denial.

The substantial issue of the constitutionality of La.R.S. 13:2488.76 is better presented by a litigant in an adversary proceeding.

DIXON, C.J., and WATSON, J., would grant the writ.

WATSON, J., notes that he believes the City Court may have the inherent authority to order the City to pay its necessary expenses.
