The Bond Case.

Judge Smith handed down his
decision yesterday in the Three C's
bond case. This suit was brought
by the town of Johnson City to
have cancelled the bonds issued to
pay for stock in the Charleston.

Company. The road became in
solvent and never built its shops in
johnson City as it agreed to do,
and besides never completed its
road.
Three legal questions were in
volved in the law suit and the chan.
cellor decided two of them in favor
ofJohnson City. He held: (I) That
chapter 3 of the Acts of 1887 was
constitutional. (2) That the bond

gregate, one. tenth of the taxabl
property of the town of johnson

held and the vote taken on the

the bonds were issued, was a for
eign corporation, and that by th(
terms of the act under which au
thority was claimed, bonds could
only be issued to railroad corpora
tons organized under the genera
laws of this State.
For these reasons Judge Smitl
holds that the town Of Johnson CITY
had no power or authority to issu,
$4,000 in bonds to the Three c.
Railroad Co. The bonds wer,
therefore held to be void and non
collectable, even in the hands of al
