Mr. Justice Bouck,
dissenting.
The majority opinion is, I think, in direct conflict with the principles laid down by this court in Shields v. Loveland, 74 Colo. 27, 218 Pac. 913, and Searle v. Haxtum, 84 Colo. 494, 271 Pac. 629. The decision constitutes an unwarranted judicial interference with the official discretion conferred by the Colorado Constitution and laws upon our municipal corporations in the interests of local self-government. The judgment of the district court ought to he affirmed. I therefore dissent.
Mr. Justice Campbell concurs in this dissent.
