Neils V. City Of Seattle

This action was brought by two taxpayers of the city of Seattle to enjoin the city from submitting to referendum an ordinance passed by its council and approved by the mayor. Other taxpayers intervened in the action and aligned themselves with the city in resisting the application for injunction. Upon a trial before the court, a decree was entered enjoining further proceedings on the petition for referendum. The defendant city and the intervening taxpayers have appealed.
