This is a bill of complaint by a property owner seeking the cancellation of certain paving certificates, an injunction against their attempted enforcement, and for other relief. A demurrer thereto was overruled, from which order this appeal was taken.
In this case, Chap. 10145, Acts of 1925, now Secs. 2502-2511, C. G. L. 1927, and Chap. 11208, Acts of 1927, are assailed upon the same grounds considered in Smith Brothers v. Williams, originally reported in 126 So. 367, in which the decree of the lower court holding said statutes invalid, was reversed. At the same time the
order appealed from in this cause was affirmed, notwithstanding the reversal in Smith Brothers v. Williams, because other equities were aserted by the bill of complaint herein which require a response. See 126 So. 373. On rehearing, the decree of the lower court in Smith Brothers v. Williams was affirmed here by an equally divided Court. 131 So. 335.
Thereafter this cause was assigned for re-argument, and upon consideration thereof, the court having inspected the record and the briefs of counsel, and the court being now advised of its judgment to be given in the premises, it seems to the court that aside from the constitutional questions presented in Smith Brothers v. Williams, supra, upon which this court is equally divided, there are other equities asserted in this cause which require a response. It is therefore considered, ordered and decreed that the order appealed from herein be affirmed, and the cause remanded for appropriate proceedings. Crosland v. Brickell, 86 Fla. 91, 97 So. 286.
