CITY INTELLIGENClE.



AN INJUNCTION AcArNsr THE soUTH STREET
BRIDGE MovEMENT.-The City Solicitor, on
pehail OF the city, has FLED IN the supreme
Court, In equity, a preliminary Injunction to
restrain the Commissioners for the con-
stIuction of the south Street Bridge from
proceeding with the work. The application for
the injunction sets forth that the city did not
request the passage Of the acts of 1866 and
1867, providing for The building OF the bridge,
but against the passage OF the last-named act,
and while the bilf was in the hands of the Gov
ernor and unsigned by him, protested by reso-
lutions of Councils. Also, that the Mayor of
the city and Presidents of the two Chambers
named in the act as Commissioners, had since
the first day OF June abstained from meeting
the Commission, and have taken no further part
therein. Again, that any contract or contracts
that shall be made for the construction of a
bridge across the Schuylkill at South street
must be made with the city of Philadelphia,
according to the provisions OF existing laws
governing such contracts, and that according
thereto such contracts must be preceded by an
appropriation duly made by Councils, and that
any loan required TO meet the amount of such
contract must be made in compliance with the
acts of Assembly regulating city loans. The
application closes as iollows;--
"That by reason of the late civil war the
cost of materials and of labor has so much in.
creased that It has not been practicable, at any
time since the 10th day of May, A. ID. 1861, to
construct the said bridge for the sum of $3.50 600,
and by reason OF the said Rebellion, the city OF
Philadelphia has incurred so many and so large
expenditures as to seriously embaIrass its
finances, impair its credit, and to render the
construction OF said bridge at any time since
said date both improper and impractcable,
and that the levying OF the whole cost of con-
slruction of said bridge upon the city of
Philadelphia win be an imposing upon 1t OF
more than its share of the taxes necessary to
be assessed and levied for the construction
thereof.
THAT unless said defendants, acting as such
commissioners, are restrained by the order of
this honorable court, great and irreparable loss
and damage will be sustained by plaintiffs; that
an attempt to add SO largely to the public debt
Of plaintiffs, without their consent will greatly
impair the value of their public loans, and greatly
increase the cost of raising funds by loan, for
their future need.
"Your orators aver and charge that the said
acts of April g. 1866, and of April g. 1857,
are in violation OF the Constitution Of this
State,D
