and even IL he section 81 had been valid, this

1t seems to me clear that the Legislature in

how these bonds should be paid rested wholly
with them, and was not controlled by the sec
4i0n 81.
That both the city and the bondholders have

that the bondholders have derived has been

provide the means. and this, to large degree
ny subjectinR to taxation property not within
the provisions OF section 81
1 think 1t Il too late for the bondholders to
push aside the act of 1856. and all of the subse-
Qu6nt acts, and disregard their acduieScence in
them, and reach behind them all to revive the
act OF 1852.
