Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Duckworth, Chief Justice.

Since the evidence shows that the petitioner, who is seeking the writ of mandamus to require the city officials of the City of Dublin to issue him a building permit, has not executed an agreement required by ordinance of the city as a prerequisite to the issuance of such permit, a judgment denying the relief sought is demanded, and it was error to grant the writ. Compare City of Pearson v. Glidden Co., 205 Ga. 738 (55 S. E. 2d 125); Hadden v. Pierce, 212 Ga. 45 (90 S. E. 2d 405).

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
