Johnson v. Paris
Decision Date | 30 March 1922 |
Docket Number | 11,207 |
Parties | JOHNSON ET AL. v. PARIS, TRUSTEE, ET AL |
Court | Indiana Appellate Court |
From Johnson Circuit Court; Fremont Miller, Judge.
Action by Robert J. Johnson and others against James T. Paris, township trustee, and others. From a judgment for defendants, the plaintiffs appeal.
Appeal dismissed.
R. M. Miller, H. C. Barnett and O. S. Barnett, for appellants.
Henry E. White, George I. White and Fred R. Owens, for appellees.
Complaint by appellants to enjoin appellees as trustee and members of the advisory board of White River school township in Johnson county from letting a contract and expending the funds of said township for the construction of a gymnasium for the high school of said township. The court sustained appellees' demurrer to the complaint and rendered judgment against appellants, from which they appeal.
Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss and in support of such motion show that the contract for the construction of the gymnasium has been let, that the building has been completed, accepted, and paid for, and is now being used by the township. It thus appears that appellants would be precluded from obtaining any relief under their complaint, if the court should decide the question presented by the assignment of error in their favor. As said by the Supreme Court in Crapo v. City of Gary (1920), 190 Ind. 8, 129 N.E. 6:
The appeal is therefore dismissed.
