It discusses that payments from state funds require proper appropriation and lawful warrants, and that mandamus should not compel actions violating the constitution. It also covers the governor’s warrants, state treasurer duties, and ministerial versus discretionary actions, concluding with remarks on mandamus limits and executive authority.
The ruling analyzes whether funds from long held public property may be used to pay the state’s bonded debt. It discusses the public property fund’s purpose, the Macon and Brunswick and Western and Atlantic railroads, and whether proceeds from their sale fall under the fund’s control for debt discharge.
