<p>Appeal — Bond—Exemption. Upon an appeal by the mayor and council from a judgment ordering an election to disincorporate a city, the appeal is on behalf of the city and no bond is required.</p> <p>Appeal — Briefs—Printing—Findings. Rule 8, subd. 5, of the supreme court does not require the printing of all the findings of fact, but only those on which any question is sought to be raised.</p> <p>Municipal Corporations — Disincoepoeation—Proceedings. Where, before the hearing of a petition to disincorporate a town containing less than 250 qualified voters, signed by a majority .of the voters therein, it appears that part of the signers have voluntarily withdrawn their names by filing with the city council a writing to that effect, sufficient in number to reduce the same to less than one-half of the voters of the town, the council properly dismissed the proceedings, and it was error to mandamus the council to order an election for disincorporation.</p>
