On Appellees’ Motion for Rehearing, and City’s and Amstater’s Motion to Reform Judgment.
Most careful consideration has been given to Appellees’ Motion for Rehearing. Lest there be any doubt as to our holding we specifically hold that off-street parking lots are permanent public improvements for which the City of El Paso is authorized to issue bonds under the provisions of its charter, quoted in our original opinion. *105We did not intend to hold and did not hold that the city might issue bonds for permanent public improvements other than such improvements which serve a proper municipal purpose. The numerous authorities cited in our opinion are all grounded on the proposition that such parking lots do comprehend a municipal purpose, and they are incidental to the municipality’s power to regulate traffic on its streets.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
The motion to reform the judgment so as to “authorize” the defendants to issue and sell the bonds rather than “direct” them to do so is granted.
