Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 34, § 1955. Prescriptive period; sale of bonds

A. For a period of thirty days from the date of the publication of any resolution of the commission authorizing the issuance of its bonds or notes, any interested person may test the legality of said resolution and the validity of said bonds or notes issued or proposed to be issued thereunder, after which time no one shall have any right or cause of action to contest the regularity, formality or legality of said resolution or to draw in question the legality of said bonds or notes or the debt represented thereby for any cause whatever, and it shall be conclusively presumed that every legal requirement has been complied with, and no court shall have authority to inquire into such matters after the lapse of said thirty days. The newspaper to be used for any such publication shall be a newspaper published in the district, or if no newspaper is published therein, then a newspaper published and having general circulation in Tangipahoa Parish.

B. Any bonds issued in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be sold to the highest bidder, at a public sale, for not less than par and accrued interest, after advertisement at least once a week for not less than thirty days in a newspaper of general circulation within the port area and in a financial newspaper or journal published in New Orleans, New York or Chicago, reserving to the commission the right to reject any and all bids and the right to readvertise for new bids. If, after advertisement as hereinabove provided no bids are received, or if such bids as are received are considered in the discretion of the commission to be unsatisfactory then and in that event the commission may publicly negotiate for the sale of such bonds.
