Supreme Court of Missouri March 9, 1909 (State ex rel. City of Joplin v. Wilder)

lead-opinion

BURGESS, J.

The relator, the city of Joplin, filed its petition, asking this court for a writ of mandamus to compel respondent, W. W. Wilder, State Auditor, to register bonds of said city to the amount of $96,000, the respondent having refused so to do upon the ground that said bonds were shown to be invalid by the proceedings leading up to their issuance.
