bunties are quasi corporations created
by the Stnte for the purpose OF govern
mcnt, whose powers are rather duties i'm
posed than privileges granted. In other
words they arc subdivisions OF the Stale
with power to issue bonds, and MS no one
questions the authority OF the State to
issue gold bonds. 1t may be consistently
argued that said power Is possessed by
counties.
In conclusion, the Bland-Allison act may
be quoted as implicitly recognizing the
validity Of gold clause bonds. 1t reads as
follows: Il
