1Opinion of the CourtBurnett, J.
The application is for a writ of mandate to compel the board of supervisors of Merced County to repeal a certain ordinance enacted by said board or to submit the same to the voters of said county. Respondents have filed a demurrer and an answer to the petition, although there seems to be no controversy as to the facts. The ordinance in question is set out in the petition and it is sufficient to say that it provides for discontinuing one of the judicial townships of the county and the re-establishment of the boundaries of another township so as to include the one abolished.
