1Opinion of the CourtJustice Bigelow
It is contended by appellant that when the city fixed and declared by ordinance the beginning and termination of its fiscal year, its power over the subject was forever thereafter exhausted.
The section of the law under which a city or village is given the power to establish its fiscal year is as follows:
“ The fiscal year of each city or village organized under this act, shall commence at the date established by law for the annual election of municipal officers therein, or at such other times as may be fixed by ordinance.” Hurd’s R. S. of 1897, Chap. 24, Article VII, Sec. 1.
