Hinsdale-Doyle Granite Co. v. Tilley

I have no doubt that this is a proper proceeding against the city. It operates to place the complainant in the shoes of the creditor of the city, and requires the city to pay to the complainant. The court has jurisdiction to entertain a creditor’s bill of this kind, where a municipal corporation is a party defendant, and I think the demurrer should be overruled.

Let the demurrer to the bill by the city of Chicago be overruled
