Description
At a special meeting of the legal voters of the city of Burlington, hereafter called the city, held on January 3, 1934, the
city was authorized, by a majority of the votes cast, to issue bonds to an amount not to exceed $178,000, for the purpose
of making certain public improvements. The plaintiffs, who are large taxpayers in the city, brought this bill of complaint against the city, praying for an injunction
restraining it from issuing the bonds voted at the special meeting on the grounds that the meeting was illegally called, and
that two-thirds of all the voters voting at such meeting did not vote to authorize such public improvements and the issuance
of the bonds to pay for them. A temporary injunction was issued. The defendant demurred to the bill; and, on hearing on the
demurrer, the demurrer was sustained, the temporary injunction dissolved, and the bill dismissed. The plaintiffs appealed.
