A———— Legnal Slgnificance of a Vote for Thelr Issuo —Opinlon of the United States Supreme Courts Wasiinoron, Sept. 20.—In the caseof the Town of Concord, Itl., plaint!fl in error, nst the Lortsmouth Savings Bank, in error to the Circult Court for tho Nurthern District of Illi- nois, tho United States Supreme Court lios rondered the foliowing: declsion: The bonds to which tho coupons in suit wero at- tached purport to have heon made under leglalative lnlh(brllrflvcn to the town oficers by tho act of March 7, 1867, Thelr recitale maka divect refer. enca to that act by its ttle, which issct forth at length, with thenverment that they were {ssucd under and by virtuc of it. The nrl:nmfiy question, therefore, 18 whether that statute: did in reality give to the Supervisor and Clerk of tho town power to exccuto and_deliver tuwn bonds on the Db day ofdctober, 1871 (when tho bouds were {n_fact ia- n anpropriation or donatlon to a railrond The first and sccond sectlons arg the only anes to which reference need be mada. Hy the first {t was enacted that certaln incorpo. ratcd towns aud citles, and towns acting under the Townslip ‘Organization law (umong which It s concoded tha ‘Town of Concord wan ons), should be and wero soverally authorized to appropriste such sum of money 08 lhu{ night deem proper to the Chicago, Danville & Vincenues Rallrond Come- pnoy, toald In tho construction of the road of eald Company, to be paid to the Company as soon as the track of sald road should have Leen located and constructed through eatd city, town, or township reapectively. 7o this was atiached the following provisa: **Provided, howover, thut the proposition to appruprinto moneya to sald Company shall be firat submitted to n ¥oteof the lcgal voiera of sald respectivo Kfl\vn!lllllm towns, or citles at a regular annusl or specisl mects ing, by glvlnf at least ten days* notico thereof; and o vote shall’ be taken thercon by abailot at tho usnal place of clectlon; and, If the majority of votes cast shall be in favar of tho appropriation, then the snme shall bo made, otherwlse not.* 'The weconil section empowored snd required the aue thorities of aald municlpalitics to levy and collect a tax, and mako such provisions as might Lo neces- sary for tho pmmptpn{munl of the appropriation wnder the provisions of the law, - The anthority given to the Town of Concord by this atalute wua not to subscribe to the stock of the railrond company, but (o make an npuropria- tlon or donation fn ald of the construction of the road; and even that donation was not permitted to bo made until after the completion of the loca- tlon and constructlon of thu road through the wh. Tt has been atronuonely inslsted durlng the nr%u- ment that the act conferred no Saworupnn he town to make an approprlation or donatlon by tho fasulng of bonds or certiicates of Indebtodness. 1t is snid othor {:rov(slun was mode for the dona- tlon,—provision by the levy aud colloction of & tax. We do not carc, however, to discuss this matter, for in the viow which we hava of the caro it Is quito Immaterlal. A popniar election haying bee hield, and & inajorlty of votes cast ot the cleo- tlon haying been in favor of the appropriation, it may be conceded that psyment of tho approe printion conld lawfally have been made In town nds, instead of money, If tho donation ftsclt was authorized. The real question Is, whether tho authority to make the donation vxisted when it was mude, The act of the Legislaturo of 1867 may have been authority for o donation at ani timo prior to July 2, 1870, and no authority at all aftorward, ~And such wo think it was, Thae popn- lar vote in favor of an agnrapflnlon was on the 20th of Novembor, 180D, but 1t was not of {tsclf an_ approprlation or donation, and the town was not authorized o make It until the rallroad Was located and constructed through the town. Before that time, and beforo any attemptatn donation or apprapriation waa made, the authority to make it was withdrawn. If no effect Do ot tributed to the rescinding vote of June 30, 1870, tho neyw Constitution of the State, which came Into oporation on the 2d of July, 1870, annulled, we think, the lluwcr of munlclpalities to make dona- tions 'to ratlrond companfos. Under the new Con- stitution subscriptions can be mado to tho capital stock of raliraad companics under certain clrcum- stancen, but no donations can bo mado, - Aftor tha dato of this article, there having been ot that time no donation, none could be made, ‘Thero was no contract to be impalred befora the douatlon, al- though there had. been o voto in favor of it, for there was no conalderation for the promise lnplied by the vote, tho road not having ns yet been lucated through the town, Reversed, Mr. Justice Strong dellvered the opinion.
