The opinion

McCALEB, Justice

(dissenting).

I adhere to the views expressed in the original opinion, which were affirmed on the first rehearing, that Orleans Levee Board did not acquire title to the land in contest prior to the effective date of Act 311 of 1942.

Therefore, since Grand Prairie Levee District was the legal owner of the property prior to 1942, the lease it granted to .Delta Development Company, Inc., is valid and the ownership of Orleans Levee Board is burdened therewith as specifically provided by Act 311 of 1942 under which Orleans Levee Board acquired title to the property.

I respectfully dissent.
