Bussell, Chief Justice,

¶1concurring specially. I thoroughly agree with what has been said by Mr. Justice Gilbert, in which he has lucidly stated all the prior legislation on this subject. However, *152I think this is the proper time at which a ruling should be made upon other grounds of demurrer which were sustained; and for myself I approve the judgment of the lower court in sustaining the demurrers upon several other grounds stated therein.

¶2On motion eor rehearing.

Gilbert, Justice.

¶3It is contended that the court overlooked other authorities holding that the words “ public money,” as referred to in the section of the constitution cited, mean State money or any county money. It is insisted that municipal funds are also public money. The court readily concedes that such funds are public money, and nothing in the opinion ruled to the contrary. The court merely ruled that the words as used in the constitution and in the'statute, when the two are construed together, mean money of the State or any county thereof. There is a distinction between that ruling and a broad ruling that municipal funds are not public money. The motion for a rehearing is denied.
