Per Curiam.

The appellant is a resident taxpayer of Cass County. The respondents are county commissioners ‍​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍of said county. The complaint sets forth with particularity the proceedings by which a certain drain was established in said county, showing clearly that said drain was established in conformity ‍​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍with the provisions of Ch. 55, Laws of 1893. It then alleges that, acting under said statute, the respondents, as such county commissioners, are about to issue and negotiate ‍​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍the interest bearing bonds of said county to defray the costs of said drain. An injunction is asked perpetually restraining the issuance of such bonds. A general demurrer to ‍​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍the complaint was sustained. This case involves the same questions that were raised in Martin v. Tyler, (decided at this term) 60 N. W. 392, 4 N. D. 278. Following that case, the judgment below must ‍​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍be reversed, and a decree entered granting the relief prayed. It is so ordered.

Reversed.

All concur.
