Davis v. Gibbs

Washington Supreme Court

Decided October 18, 1951No. 31819PublishedCited by 31 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtWeaver, J.

This is an action to restrain the proper officials from canvassing the vote of a special election held to determine whether a certain territory should be annexed to the city of Seattle. The trial court denied the injunction.

Two questions are presented: (1) Did the petition for annexation have sufficient signers? and (2) Was adequate statutory notice published of the special election?

The assignments of error are all directed to the question of whether the findings of the trial court support the judgment. We, therefore, accept the findings as verities. LaLone v. Smith, ante p. 167, 234 P. (2d)…
