<p>Finding Waeeant Indebtedness — Validity op Bonds — Constitutional Law — Validating Act. — A board of county commissioners proceeded under the provisions of the act of March 8, 1895, to fund outstanding warrant indebtedness of the county, submitting the question to the electors at an election called for the purpose, at which election more than two-thirds of the electors voted in favor of issuing the proposed bonds; after due notice, bids were received, and one bid for the entire issue was accepted, the bonds duly engraved and signed ready for delivery when an agreed ease was submitted to the district court for tlie purpose of determining the validity of the proposed bonds, the principal contention being that said act of March 8, 1895, was void; 1. Because not constitutionally passed; 2. Because the subject thereof was not expressed in the title. Held, that the legislature having re-enacted the act of March 8, 1895, and passed an act validating all bonds theretofore issued under said act, thar the court will not inquire into or determine the validity of said act as originally passed, as such question is immaterial to the validity of the proposed bonds.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the court.)</p>
