2. ““The third paragraph of Article 3612 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure provides, in part, that: “ ‘An appeal from an order or judgment relating to a preliminary injunction must be taken and a bond furnished within fifteen days from the date of the order or judgment * * *.’ “One of the sources of C.C.P. Article 3612 was Act 29 of 1924, which was later included in the 1950 Revised Statutes as R.S. 13:4070 (repealed by Act 32 of 1960).

3. “"In the instant suit the judgment appealed from is a final judgment, which disposes not only of plaintiff's demand for a preliminary injunction, but also of his right to obtain a permanent injunction, his demand for judgment ordering defendant to relocate its servitude or right-of-way, and his demand that defendant be directed to complete its contract for the construction of a highway. It is not merely an interlocutory decree `relating to a preliminary injunction,' but it is a final decree disposing of the case on its merits. . . ."”
