Description
The Beardstown Community Park District, consisting of the city of Beardstown and the surrounding farm community, was organized
in July, 1954, under the provisions of our Park District Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1953, chap. 105, pars. 1-1 to 12-2.) Immediately
thereafter, meetings were held and plans made for the building of a community swimming pool to be paid for by the issuance
of general obligation bonds, and at a special election on September 25, 1954, the voters of the district, by almost a two-to-one
margin, voiced their approval of this project by affirmatively answering the following proposition: "Shall bonds of Beardstown
Community Park District, Cass County, Illinois, to the amount of One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000) be issued for
the purpose of acquiring lands for a park and building, maintaining, improving and protecting the same including building
of a swimming pool thereon, and for the payment of expenses incident thereto?" However, certain taxpayers of the park district contended that the election had not been held in accordance with constitutional
and statutory requirements, and for that reason, on October 11, 1954, a complaint was filed by them in the circuit court of
Cass County to enjoin the park commissioners from issuing the bonds in question and to restrain the county clerk of Cass County
from extending any taxes for the payment of this indebtedness. A temporary injunction was thereafter issued, but upon hearing
of this cause, the injunction was dissolved and the case dismissed as without merit. Direct appeal has now been taken to this
court.
