The Mayor and City Council of Amerieus wished to establish certain water-works in that city for the benefit of the inhabitants, and they directed an election to be held and a vote taken upon the question of whether bonds for that purpose should, or should not, be issued, which was properly advertised. The election was held, and it appeared from the returns that 343 votes were in favor of the issue of bonds and 48 against it. The bill in this case was filed to prevent the issue of these bonds, upon the ground that two-thirds of the legally qualified voters of the city of Amerieus had not voted for the issue of bonds, although they admitted that two-thirds of the votes at the election had been cast in favor of the same. The court refused the injunction, and this is excepted to.
We think, therefore, that the result as declared by the Mayor and Oouncil of the City of Americus is final and conclusive, and that the court could not interfere with it.
Judgment affirmed.
