Description
DAVIS, J. -- The principal question necessary to be determined on this writ of error is: Where the charter of a municipality expressly authorizes the acquisition and maintenance of a golf course, and the municipal power conferred by the charter is exercised by the municipality, and a golf course, including a country club, are purchased with proceeds of a bond issue, authorized and sold by the municipality, the proceeds of which have been expended to pay the purchase price of such golf course and country club, does the property comprising the country club become property subject to execution for the debts of the municipality, when subsequently after its acquisition, the country club proves not profitable and a source of expense to the city, by reason of which fact the city leases the same temporarily to individuals to operate for their own private gain, for a certain consideration, the city reserving the right to resume operation in the future, and to make other and further leases of it, should circumstances render it advisable to do so.
