DENVER BONDS VOID.
Court Grants an Injunction Against
Their Issuance.

Denver, Colo, Feb. Sin the United
States district court Judge Riner hand
ed down a decision declaring the 4,7o0
900 water bond issue voted by the city
two years ago to be illegal. The deci-
sion was given in the suit brought by
Mrs. Fanny Josephine Grant against the
city of Denver to enjoin the issuance
of the bonds, and an Injunction was
granted. The court bases its decision on
three points, which are as follows:
F'irst-The election was a special one,
when the bonds should have been voted
on at a regular election.
SecOnd-Two propositions were con-
tanned in the subject voted on to buy
and to build, when only one should have
been contained on the ballot.
Third-The present contract with the
Denver City Water company stood as a
bar to the voting Of bonds for new
system.
