# Appeals; cost bond for transcripts from the municipal and traffic court

The city council of New Orleans may provide by ordinance that in all appeals from the Municipal and Traffic Court of New Orleans, there shall be required the posting of a reasonable costs bond to defray the cost of preparing the transcript in connection with any such appeal. This shall not be construed to bar any appellant from taking an appeal in forma pauperis.
