Syllabus
<p>Municipal Charter—Repeal—Contracts.—The repeal of a municipal charter does not impair the validity of contracts made under its provisions.</p> <p>Treasurer—Payment of Interest—Mandamus.—Where the provisions of a municipal charter make it the duty of the treasurer to pay the interest of certain bonds when the same falls due out of a fund provided for that purpose, such payment is a duty specially enjoined by law upon the officer, and may be enforced by mandamus.</p> <p>Id.—Interest Coupons—Presentation for Audit and Allowance—Defense. —It is no defense to a proceeding for mandamus brought by an individual bondholder that the interest coupons had not been presented to the board of trustees for examination and audit, nor that there are other bond-holders interested in the fund who have not demanded payment.</p> <p>Statute of Limitations. — Such interest coupons are not barred by the Statute of Limitations until the bonds to which they belong are barred.</p>
