Description

The proceedings in the district court originated on January 22, 1965, with the filing of a petition by defendant-in-error Homer P. Nichols, hereinafter referred to as "Nichols," against plaintiffs-in-error, hereinafter referred to as the "City," praying for an alternative writ of mandamus. On said date an order was entered granting the alternative writ of mandamus and the writ issued, returnable on January 29, 1965. The alternative writ alleged that on January 18, 1965, there was filed with the City petitions signed by in excess of 24,500 qualified voters of Albuquerque, requesting an election to permit the qualified voters to vote for or against the ordinance which provided for said gasoline tax; that the petitions were in all respects proper and filed in accordance with the laws of New Mexico and the charter of the City; that the City, through its employees, publicly announced that anyone wishing to vote "for" or "against" the ordinance would have until January 22, 1965, to file petitions for an election; and that petitioners who filed petitions on January 18, 1965, were relying, among other things, upon such representations.
