Raleigh Gas Light Co. v. City of Raleigh

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Raleigh Gas Light Co. v. City of Raleigh, 75 N.C. 274 (N.C. 1876)
Reade

Raleigh Gas Light Co. v. City of Raleigh

Opinion of the Court

Reade, J.

The only point in this case is covered by Tucker v. The City of Raleigh, at this term. It is there decided that the Funding Act of February, 1875, did not require the sanction of the popular vote.

We think, however, that the judgment ought to have been an alternative mandamus, as the City may show cause, as that it prefers to pay the debt rather than fund, &c.

There is no error. Let this be certified.

Per Curiam. Judgment accordingly.
