BOND ISSUE VALID
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS cITY's
 CONTENTION.
JadEe Sayre's Ressralning Order to Mayor Teagae Is Set Aslde-- Mrs. Reese LOses Her
 Suit.

By decision. rendered by the State Supreme Court, sitting as a body, and handed down yesterday, the Montgom- cry City Council is practically empow- cred to proceed with the issuance Of the $4so.e00 refunding bonds to pay the old bonos maturing January l. 1907. This decision was rendered within twenty-four hours after arguments on the appeal of the case from the Mont gomery City Court had been heard.
 In the opinion of the Supreme Court the local law passed by the Legisia- ture September %, 1908, in which the interest which bonds may bear is lim- tied to per cent, is deciarsd uneonsti- tutional, as being in conflict with the general law passed by the Legislature
 February 36 of the same year, which law antedated the other. and stands valid.
 The effect of the opinion was to re- verse the oyerruling of the demurrer made by Mayor Teague in the lower court, to prevent the granting of an
 injunction against the issuance of the bonds. sought by Mrs. Essie l.. Reese. In addition to reversing action of Judge lSayre the Court rendered a decree dis missing the appeal.
 Before the Council may issue the bonds it may be necessary for the
 case to be dismissed in the lower court
 as well, but such action would be
 merely formal. the opinion of the Su-
 preme Court showing, as it does, the stand of that body on the law in the case. and rendering further contest useless.
 The litigation passed on yesterday consisted of a petition brought by Mrs. Essle L. Reese. a property owner Of Montgomery, for an injunction to re- lstrain the Council from issuing refund- ing bonds at i-z per cent The pe- titon was based on the ground that by a local law, passed September 26. 1903. the city was not empowered to | issue bonds bearing more than 4, per cent interest. Mayor Teague demurred to this petition, urging that the act was unconstitutional inasmuch as 1t did not confer the only and exclusive authority for issuing bonds and fur ther, that the law cited as authority was superseded by general law passed February 26, 1908. The demur- | Ter of the Mayor was overruled by Judge Sayre, and an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court on the Judges ruling.
 While the case has remained in doubt, the City Council has been con- siderably embarrassed to devise a plan to meet the indebtedness of the city on the date on which the old bonds mature, January 1, 1907. Recently, a proposal was made to the city by Pres ident A. NJ. Baldwin, of the First Na- tionel Bank of Montgomery, represent ing that institution, to assume the pay
 meut of the old boads, and to mold
