Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Myrick
Myrick, J.
The Act of March 14th, 1883, to establish a uniform systemof county and township governments, section 25, subd. 14, repealed section 4048 Political Code, at least so far as the latter required the bonds to refer to the Political Code, and directed that bonds should refer to it (the Act of 1883). Without considering any question as to the validity of bonds reciting their issue under the Political Code, it is sufficient to say that the Act of March 14th, 1883, gives the form of the bonds, and the defendants should not be compelled to take them, unless they are in conformity with that act. The former class of bonds might, perhaps, be good, as against the county, in the hands of a purchaser, but the defendants should not be compelled to take any risk. They are justified in standing on the form prescribed in the Act of 1883.
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
Morrison, C. J., Thornton, J., and McKinstry, J., concurred.
