The petitions set out that prior
to the election of March 15. 1*16,
when tbe bonds were voted that the
members of the ttomm’lnwioner*
Court then In office passed ah Or-
der to the' effect that not more’
than half the bohd mfcney would be
expended on the highways <if the
county and that ait membefx of the
court voted In the affirmative on
the question. It Is alleged that wide
circulation and publication of the
order was made over the district
prior to the election and that the
voter* voted In reference to the <)r-
der anti wlth^ the it ml erst a nd Hi g
and Inducement held out to them
by the Commiaxionera Court that
the balance of said turn would be
expended on the lateral road* of
the district
The petition alleges that the de-
fendants and other large taxpayers
of the district for whom they bring
the ault for Injunction do not live
on the highways and do not have
lateral roads connecting them vlth
the highways and tttat a targe raft
of the taxable values of the district
on account of the Commlssnlners
Court acting In defiance of the or-
der and judgment are without lat-
eral road connection with the high-
ways.
The plaintiff* further allege that
from 51 Cue to lime since the defend-
ants have been engaged In
pendlture of the-rend bond money
they have stated to different <om-
mltteea of cltixenx among whom
were some of the defendants that
the Commissioners Court would not
expend to exceed one-half amount
realised from the sale of the bonds
on the highways- and that thjx'lial-
fnuw would be expended In cQll-
atruetlng Lgteroal roads. Allega.
tloa Is made that In keeping such
promise thgt the commissioners
Court has expended the full amount
of the proportionate funds dqc 1’re-
clncts No. 1 and 4 for lateral roads
and that the Commissioners Pre-
cinct No. 3 Is entitled to have ex-
jiended in It *61.000 more lateral
