1Opinion of the CourtSmith, J.
Plaintiffs taxpayers attacked agreements concerning treatment of packinghouse waste in a facility financed by bonds of a private nonprofit corporation. Income to pay the bonds was to be received from the City of Omaha as lessee under a lease-purchase agreement. After trial the district court dismissed plaintiffs’ petition. Plaintiffs appeal. They contend that the city (1) granted an invalid franchise, (2) unconstitutionally lent its credit to a private corporation, and (3) failed to comply with statutory requirements relating to competitive bidding.
