Syllabus

<p>1. Special Statutory Election—Electors.—Under the charter of Florence (20 Stat., 868), and the decision of this court in Wilson v. Florence, 39 S. 0., 397, the issue of municipal bonds for internal improvements was authorized, if approved at an election held for that purpose, every taxpayer, including estates and corporations, being entitled to one vote for every §100 of property returned for taxation. The issue of such bonds having been approved at such an election by a majority in value of the taxable property of the municipality, the property of estates being voted by the legal trustees thereof, and that of corporations by agents who voted under specific authorization and instruction, no grounds exist for an injunction to restrain the issue of bonds authorized by such election.</p>
