"While the phrase "ultra vires" has been used to desig-
nate, not only acts beyond the express and implied powers
of a corporation, but also acts contrary to public policy or
contrary to some express statute prohibiting them, the
latter class of acts is now termed illegal, and the "ultra
vires" confined to the former class. In re Grand Union
