Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law Governing the Issuing, Transfer, and Collection of Municipal Bonds The law of municipal bonds, in the United States, is a development of the last half century. The great body of the litigation involving such securities has been, and will continue to be, prosecuted in the Federal courts, and the rules of decisions of those courts in such cases are now recognized by all courts as the law of municipal securities. In a continuous experience of about twenty years in the examination and collection of municipal bonds, it has been necessary for the author of this work to become familiar with the decisions of both the State and Federal courts on the subject; and, judging from his own experience, it has seemed to him that a full digest of all the decisions of the Federal courts of final jurisdiction involving the validity of municipal bonds would be of appreciable service to the bond lawyer, the bond buyer, and possibly to municipal officials who are required to issue bonds or, provide for and direct their issuance. It has been the intention and aim of the author to digest and cite in this volume all tb reported cases which have been decided by the Supreme Court and the several Circuit Courts of Appeals of the United States in which the validity of municipal bonds and the laws relied upon as authority for their issuance have been involved. If any have been omitted, such omission has been unintentional. Departing from the usual course in digesting, I have quoted liberally front the opinions, and I am induced to believe that the practical value of the work is thereby materially enhanced. Such quoted matter is indicated by the usual quotation marks; and the subject-matter, in each instance, of the language quoted as well as of my own digests, or the point decided, in each instance, is indicated by an appropriate headnote.
