Annotations In absence of a limitation in the act granting it authority to issue bonds, the city has power to levy sufficient taxes to pay the same, and a judgment against the city for the amount of the bonds puts the question of authority to levy the tax to pay such bonds to rest, and mandamus will enforce such levy.
