1Opinion of the Court
MERRILL, Justice.
These appeals by the City of Vestavia Hills are from decrees dismissing complaints in four declaratory judgment proceedings brought against the City, but which allowed attorney’s fees to complainants and assessed costs against the City. The issues are identical in each case and the four cases were consolidated in this court.
The suits were filed on April 20, 1973, demurrers overruled May 21, the City’s pleas in abatement filed on June 15, 1973 and sustained on July 31, 1973.
The decree of the trial court was the only action relating to each of these cases in the circuit court…
