Syllabus

<p>Municipalities — Funding county debt — Injunction—Discretion of county commissioners.</p> <p>A court of equity will not enjoin county commissioners from issuing bonds for the purpose of funding the floating indebtedness of the county where they are not charged with fraud, and there is nothing in the evidence to show that they abused or intended to abuse the discretion vested in them, or that they were seeking to increase the debt of the county.</p> <p>The collectible taxes outstanding for several years cannot be decreed to constitute a fund for the payment of loans contracted during the specified years, where then is no evidence to show the amount of uncollected taxes for each year, or the amount of loans contracted in each year.</p>
