The Texas Supreme Court grants a mandamus and sets a rule for bond issues in overlapping districts. It limits total bonds to not exceed one fourth of combined real estate valuations, preventing confiscation of property and upholding the attorney general’s stance in the Liberty County case. The ruling affects Liberty County district bonds of 100000 dollars. No rulings on Orient railroad or Burrell Oates cases today.
