Clark, C. J. The facts in this case are substantially the same as in Jones v. Comrs., 135 N. C., 218, the only difference being that the plaintiff here alleges that he holds $722 of the scrip issued by the county for necessary expenses and for which he wishes county bonds, and in Jones v.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Bank v. Commissioners. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.

The facts in this case are substantially the same as in Jones v. Comrs., 135 N. C., 218, the only difference being that the plaintiff here alleges that he holds $722 of the scrip issued by the county for necessary expenses and for which he wishes county bonds, and in Jones v. Oomrs. the plaintiff held bonds which are not yet due but which he wished refunded in new bonds. Whatever distinction this may make in the rights of the plaintiff, if any, our decision in Jones v. Comrs. is not based upon such difference, but upon the fact that chapter 289, Laws 1903, is not mandatory, and places the issuance of bonds in the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners, who are merely “authorized and empowered” to make such issue.
For the reasons given in that case the judgment herein, which peremptorily orders bonds issued to the plaintiff, is likewise
Reversed.
