Bd. of Comm'rs, 25 N.M. 338, 182 P. 865 (1919), which held that a similar provision applying to De Baca county was inoperative because it provided that the bonds might be issued in accordance with the constitution, but did not state that they could be issued in accordance with the laws of the state.
