Syllabus

<p>MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS —VALIDATION —WARRANTS —ORDER OE PAYMENT.</p> <p>In the absence of statutory provisions directing the order of payment of city warrants, it is the duty of the treasurer to pay warrants drawn upon any particular fund in the order either of their date or of the time of their presentation to him for payment.</p> <p>Where warrants illegally issued have been validated by an election they are thereby rendered of full force in accordance with their terms ; and the fact that at the same election the funding of existing indebtedness by the issuance of bonds was authorized will not restrict the payment of such warrants to the proceeds of the bonds, but the warrants are properly payable from any moneys in the fund upon which they were originally drawn.</p>
