Opinion

Where after the division of a township, the township boards have made and determined the amount of the township indebtedness to be paid by the new township, such, amount is a fixed and liquidated demand against such new township, which it is the duty of the township board to allow, and if such board refuses to perform such duty, mandamus to compel its performance is the proper remedy and not assumpsit.
