Illinois, after full argument in the caae
of the United States us. John W. Bum,
and after having fully considered the
case, which was reserved for the purpose
Of careful examination, have, all the
judges conourling, sustained the follow

Bureau: Bonds issued by cities or towns
to aid in the construction of railroads,
and to purchase stock therein, are not
considered as issued by municipal officers
in the exercise only of functions strictly
belonging to them in their ordinary 60
vernmental and municipal capacity.
They are held liable, therefore, to stamp
tax at the same rate as promissory notes,
being five cents for every $lO0, or frac-
tional part thereof. The coupons are a
part of the bond and do not require ad-
ditional stamps.
