Board of Supervisors v. Sage ex rel. Wise

• 89 Ill. 265

Syllabus

<p>1. County orders—in fractions of appropriation. Where a board of supervisors made an appropriation to assist a township in the construction of a bridge, having previously specifically rescinded a resolution that orders should not be issued in fractions in discharge of any appropriation, but should be for the whole amount, the rescinding of the resolution was held, by necessary implication, to sanction the issuing of county order's in small amounts in discharge of the appropriation.</p> <p>2. Same—double issue. The issuing of a county order for the whole of an appropriation for a bridge, by the county clerk, prior to the date of the order making the appropriation, which county order was never delivered to the party entitled to receive it, presents no defense to an action upon orders subsequently issued in accordance with the appropriation, and delivered, and which were paid out to innocent parties in good faith.</p>
