grant a. temporary blanket injunction
against the Rent Commission. asked
by George W. Linkins. taxpayer and

The court however, decliIeed to
dismiss the bill because, in hisSopin-

plaintiff on final hearing to introduce
evidence Of the matters genersllysal-
legged in the bill. In his opinion
Justice Stafford said:
Body still Has Power.
"A rule is pending to show cause
why temporary injunction should not

one. This rule presents the question
whether the plaintiff, as a mere
property owner and taxpayer. can

blanket injunction pending final deter

1t seems improbable that he can q"

Moreover, even the ugh the emeF

seriously contend that in the presen

the plaintiff alone. or his properly

Takes Each Case Arising.
This we are not inclined to at

our previous decisions, in which We
felt constrained TO follow the Chas-
tleton case. those cases being essen
