will meet with general acceptance, as clear
exposition Of tho Inv In Eelation TO city ceF-
tiflcates. It first disposes Of tho blunder OF
oil TINT class OF 1awyera Who conteudad that
the prohibitions OF tile Constitution were mp
plicnblo only to debts in the form of bonds.
lie also disposes Of tho provisions of tho
chartcr Of 1865, as amended by tho act of
1869, under which these certificates profess
scaly arc issued, by holding TINT they are
modified to the extent of being n'allihcd By
tho now chartor; and tint tho Legislature
itself could not, in view OF tho prohibitions
Of tho Constitution, have .re-enacted those
provisions, and could not have delegated that
power to tho Common Council. 10 borrow
money under an absolute promise to repay it
is ''to become indebted, and Is unqucstion-
ably prohibited by tho Constitution
The writ OF 1nandamua in this oaso wns
asked to compel the Comptroller to issue cer~
tifcates and borrow money to be expended
BY ths Doard Of Public Works. II is refused by
tho Court or the ground TINT it is to mako u
loan which is independent Of tho ta1-lovy.
Aftor review OF all the cases bearing on tho
subject, tho Court adopts tho doctrine laid
down by DILLON and othors, that there is
"no legal objection to tho anticipation of tho
rovenue by giving warrants specifically paya-
bio out Of tie rovenuea duly appropriated 10
the purpose, or To borrowing money on war-
rants OF certificates specially payable as above
stated" So far as tho courts sanction the
anticipation Of tho revenues, it is upon the
principle that, the appropriation and tax-levy
having been duly mnde, in legal contempla-
ton, such revenues aro to bo regarded as be-
ing already in the Treasury. In tho caso be-
fore the Court, there had been no tax-levy
nude. An appropriation is not q tax-lovy.
The Judge thus stated his conclusions:
