Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Constitutional Law — Act Authorizing Cities to Issue Bonds. An act entitled “An act authorizing certain cities to issue bonds for natural gas, water, light and heating purposes,” being chapter 101 of the Laws of 1905, is valid and constitutional.</p> <p>2. - Title of Act — Evidence—Legislative Journals — Enrolled Bill. The legislative journals leaving it doubtful whether the title to an act as it appears by the enrolled bill is the same title the bill had when it passed the house and senate, the doubt must be resolved in favor of the enrolled bill and the validity of the act upheld.</p> <p>3. Municipal Corporations — Limitation of Bonded Indebtedness — Repeal of Statute by Implication. The amount of bonds which cities of the first, second and third classes are authorized to issue, under chaptet 101 of the Laws of 1905, for the purposes therein mentioned, is not controlled by any limitation of previous legislative acts. The act of 1905 is the latest expression of legislative will upon the subject, and repeals the provisions of all other acts in conflict with it.</p>
