Honorable S. K. Long County Attorney Re: Reconsideration of Opinion No. Jefferson County O-4404 (Jefferson County Bonds) Beaumont, Texas

Dear Sir:

We acknowledge receipt of your request for a reconsidera- tion of opinion No. o-4404, together with a rather exhaustive brief on the points involved.

We have carefully reconsidered our former opinion in the light of the brief submitted, and while we appreciate your position we still think our former opinion as to the eligibility of the Dryden Ferry Bridge bonds for participation in the County and Road District Highway Fund is correct.

On May 22, 1942, we had a request from Honorable Melvin Combs, Criminal District Attorney of Jefferson County, to reconsider opin- ion ‘9-4404, and it appears that after reconsjdering same, he was advised that we were “convinced that the conclusion reached therein is correct.”

There has been no such change in the law since that date which would make these bonds eligible, and you are advised that we adhere to the conclusion reached in said opinion o-4044.

Yours very truly APPROVED MAR 14.1944
