Legal Opinion on Sullivan School Bonds Date 1904
A legal notice from Sullivan Indiana dated February 20 1904 argues Supreme Court rulings in Rushville and Goshen do not affect Sullivan school bonds advertised for sale the following Saturday. It cites 1903 act authorizing school towns to borrow funds and levy taxes, and Campbell vs City of Indianapolis to affirm independent debt limits for school corporations. The piece concludes Sullivan bonds are valid and non taxable, backed by the tax duplicate of 2 200 000.
