Neither state, oonnty nor manloipal bonds havo ever been exempted br epooifio law, and until saoh a law to passed the Attorney General deolaree inch bonds are taxable, and taxes will, therefore, bo collected thereon. * It is said the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as of several states, has held that no state can pnt a tax npon its own credit. Comptroller General Wright will refer the matter to tho General Assembly and It ie. stated that Senator P. J.
