"fh,is cause, known as the .mutter of refunding bonds of the city of Jlcd Cloud arose out of the default in pcyment of certain district paving bonds, the .holders of which were seek ing by judicial action to have said bonds, which are an indebtedness against the paving district only, re funded or changed into bonds which would be a general charge or indebt edness against the whole city. The question as to whether munici pal paving bonds are a special or general obligation of the city has not been pr.ssed upon by tl.e Su preme Court of this state and its linnl determination by the high court will be far reaching in its effects. Two different groups of property owners and citizens of Red Cloud came into court and resisted the pro posed refunding of the bonds. One group consisted of property owners within the districts uffected who had paid in full their paving assessment and who, if the bonds were changed into a general obligation of the city, would bo required to pay,an addition al amount. The other group consisted of property owners living outside of the said paving districts and there fore received no benefits r from the paving, but who would likewise bo re quired, if the bonds wore refunded, to pay for the paving in the districts. Lengthy briefs wore filed by the attorneys representing the different litigants. Tho case was argued and submitted to the Court on October ICth last. The matter was taken un der advisement by Judge Blacklcdge at that time and a written opinion was rendered by him Saturday.
