expressly vest all powers granted to cities
of the second class in the mayor and coun-
Gil. Cities Cannot act except through
them. How are they to act aud how are
their acts to be made known to the public!
Chap. 70, Art. z, sec. Ill. directs. that
funding bonds shall be issued only after
an ordinance shall have been duly passed.
1t is true the bonds sued on herein. were
issued under the provisions of a later &C,
of the legislature but the fact, the act OF
1879 fails to provide for the manner, IN
which the bonds shall be issued, raises the
presumption, that the legislature consid-
cred the laws then in force, sufficient Tor
that purpose and for that reason made no
further provision on that subject.
MUST EXAMINE RECORDS.
1t cannot be denied that city in Kansas
cannot act, except through its mayor and
council when duly assembled for that pur-
pose and their acts must be evidenced by
the record, whether By ordinance or resO-
luton.
And as the proof in the case at bar failed
TO show, that they acted in either manner,
1t is unnecessary to determine whether a
resolution authorizing the refunding
would be sufficient.
II was plaintiffs duty before purchasing
the bonds, to examine the records and as
certain whether the mayor and council
had ever authorized their issuance, and
falling TO 90 SO they Will be charged with
notice of the facts, which they could have
asceriained by such en- exa mutation.
Neither Atchinson W De Kay, AS Z. S.
59l, nor Alma VS. Guarantee Savings Bank,
~ Fed Rep. 203, have hng application To
this case, As the only qnesIious involved
there, were, whether a resolution of the
mayor or council, submitting the question
OF issuing bonds at an election, was suf6-
cient.
In my opinion the act of the mayor in is
suing these bonds was wholly without
authority and they are, therefore, void.
As this disposes of the case. it is unnec-
essary TO pass on the other issues raised by
the defense
There must be Judgment for the defend
ant.
