— The appeal herein is from a decree dismissing a bill of complaint s'eeking to enjoin the issue of $110,000.00 of Hospital Revenue Certificates by the City of St. Petersburg, 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 municipal hospital of the City of St. Petersburg.
The Hospital Revenue Certificates are to be paid solely from the operation of the said municipal hospital and not otherwise.

Town of River Junction, Roach v. City of Tampa, State, ex rel. Vero Beach, v. MacConnell, No. 1, Williams v. Town of Dunnellon, Bradley v. City of Homestead, and other like cases decided at this term.
