Union Pacific Railroad v. School District No. Nine

This is a suit in equity to enjoin School District Number Nine, Merrick county, and its officers from selling school bonds in the sum of $10,000, for the purpose of raising money for a school building at Chapman. The relief sought is based on pleas that there was no legal notice of the bond election and that the issuance of the bonds was not authorized by three-fifths of the qualified voters of the school district. The trial court sustained a demurrer to the petition and dismissed the action. Plaintiff appealed.
