In view of the many instances of

the validity Of which has been dis
puted, causing vexatious litigation as
well as much hard feeling at home

gest the propriety of enacting q law

being sold, be registered by the
Auditor of State, upon satisfactory
proofs being made to that officer
that such bonds were in all respects
legally issued, and that the county,
city, or district issuing them has not
exceeded the legal limit of indebted
ness. Registration, with provision
for the prompt payment Of interest
and principal when due, would tend
to elevate the character of the vari
