Illinois Supreme Court March 29, 1883 (City of Quincy v. Bull)

Mr. Justice Sheldon

delivered the opinion of the Court:

The questions presented here are chiefly upon the ordinance of August 7, 1873. One is a question of construction of the ordinance, it being insisted that the ordinance, in its ■ purport, gave to Prince the right to extend his water mains only when so ordered by the city council.
