Dunning Edsnll. Hart and Fowler.
and Anderson and Howard, Of New York
have brought suits to prevent the Northern
Pacific from issuing the new mortgage bonds.
The claim is that the company according to It's
act Of incorporation cannot issue mortgage or
construction bonds without consent Of Con
grsss. Congress gave its con.-nt in 1870 that
the COMPANY might issuc construction bonds
and secure them by mortgage. A mortgage
was made, which was subsequently forrelo~cd.
The position taken by the plaintiffs Ia that the
authority of Congress once exercised was cI-
hausied and could not be repeated.
