49 Fla. 273 | Fla. | 1905
The appellants, as resident tax payers of. the county of Manatee filed a bill to enjoin the county from erecting a proposed combination jail and jailer’s residence, alleged to be in' excess of the county’s needs and for an expense too great to be met by the county’s authorized resources,
The county fails to point out to us any lack of equity in the present bill, nor does such lack appear to us after careful inspection. In the absence of argument by counsel from both sides we think it best to say no more on this aspect of the case.
It follows that the court erred in sustaining the demurs rer and plea and dismissing the bill, and such orders and decree are reversed at the cost of the appellees, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with equity practice and this opinion.
