VORHEES v. CITY OF MOORE HAVEN et al.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Aug. 3, 1936.
    B. A. Bales, of Moore Haven, for appellant.
    J. M. Couse, of Moore Haven, for appel-lees.
   PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a decree dismissing a bill of complaint seeking to enjoin the issue of $19,000 “Waterworks Revenue Certificates” by the city of Moore Haven, Fla., without an approving vote of the freeholder electors of the city, as required by section 6, article 9, Constitution, as amended in 1930; the purpose of the issue being for improvements and additions to the existing municipal waterworks- system of the city of Moore Haven.

The waterworks revenue certificates are to be paid solely from the revenue derived from the operation of the said waterworks system and not otherwise.

The decree dismissing the bill of complaint should be affirmed upon the authority of State ex rel. v. City of Miami, 113 Fla. 280, 152 So. 6, and other similar cases. See, also, Williams v. Town of Dunnellon (Fla.) 169 So. 631, and Bradley v. City of Homestead (Fla.) 169 So. 639, Boykin v. Town of River Junction (Fla.) 169 So. 492, decided at this term.

Affirmed.

ELLIS, P. J.,
