Affirmed. Appeal from Circuit Court, Pinellas County; T. Frank Hobson, judge.
Charles J. Schuh, of St. Petersburg, for appellant.
Carroll R. Runyon, of St. Petersburg, for appellees.
The appeal herein is from a decree dismissing a bill of complaint seeking to enjoin the issue of $110,000 of hospital revenue certificates by the city of St. Petersburg, Fla., without an approving vote of the freeholder electors of the city, as required by section 6, article 9, 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 revenue derived from the operation of the said municipal hospital, and not otherwise.
