Erection Of Buildings On Land Before The Consent Of The Legislature To The Purchase Is Given

Section 355 of the Revised Statutes prohibits the expenditure of public money upon land purchased for fortification purposes, or for the erection of a public building of any kind, until the consent of the legislature of the State to the purchase is obtained, although the use of public funds in payment of the purchase money of such land before such consent is given may not be prohibited by the statute.
