The-suit of Mr. Feemster wss riled by former County godrllor Gideon C. Wilson, and charged that the city had no right to Issue bond under th Longworib art. a this act provides for the Issuance of bunds only to the limit of per cent of the tax value of the muueeipality.

and th claim la mad that this due not merely apply to new bond, but to th gross amount issued. Including aU bond outstanding at the tint of the enactment of tha law. As this question baa been decided by the Circuit Court of Seneca County to cover the outstanding bonds, and as tht t-aae has now been carried to taw Supreme Court of Ohio, it waa desired to atoo the litigation which had been commenced to condemn mure properly, to be paid for under tbe questionable act.
