— This is an appeal from a decree dismissing a bill of complaint seeking to enjoin the issue of $330,000.00 of Water Revenue Certificates, Series “B,” by the City of Miami, Florida, without an approving vote of the freeholder electors of the City, as required by Section 6, Article IX, Constitution, as amended in 1930, the purpose of the issue being for improvements and additions to the existing waterworks system of the City of Miami.

The Water Revenue Certificates, Series “B,” are to be paid solely from the revenue derived from the operation of the said waterworks system and not otherwise.
