The opinion was' written, by Justice Belt an4 affirmed Judge Walter H. Evans In a suit filed hv Marion F. McClaln attacking the conatltutionaUty of the legis lative act. i The plaintiff contended that the Issuance and sale of these bonds would create an indebtedness of v. .tola I nrmi of 150.000 in UC Oioiv " - w violation of the constitution. n.fn.itinta altered' that the "reeent of the university" is corporation constituting a distinct and independent legal entity and that, by reason thereof, the state In no way has undertaken to lend its credit or create any liability in violation of the constitutional limitation of Indebtedness. It further was alleged by the defendants that if it was held that the constitutional provision ap , plies to the university, since the cost of the building was to be paid from the net rentals to accrue in the future, no indebtedness with in the meaning of such provision was created. 'We think the act under attack is reasonably susceptible of the construction which the regents have given it as disclosed by their resolution." read the opinion. "It does not purport to" authorize the board of regents to contract any Indebtedness other than to pledge, on behalf of the university, the net income from the rentals of tiie building. The regents are not taking from any existing fund the revenue of the university, but pro- that thn dormitory to oe Erected will earn enough to pay Jbf the principal and interest on the bonds. w; - "The only liability Is against a ' special fund which s to be made up exclusively of net rentals. No violation of the constitutional pro vision against indebtedness is in rolved. "AK 7nclude that neither the - - of the state nor the univer sity fund, nor any other funds now controlled by or belonging to either the state or the university will, in any way. be impaired or drawn upon in the event that this dormitory ia' constructed under the proposed plan. Plainly no debt is created within the mean ing of the constitution. "We see no merit in the con tention that the board of regents have no power under the act to Is sue bonds."
