Opinion

majority opinion

Under the statute (Comp. L., 1871, Sec. 3927-36) authorizing the payment of bounties to volunteers, etc., the bonds provided for are intended to be put upon the footing of established liabilities against the township, to be presented like other claims, for orders on the treasury, to the township board; and an action against the township is not the proper remedy to enforce payment; but the proper redress for any refusal of the town officers to do their duty in this regard is by mandamus.
