Description
This is an appeal from the circuit court of Sangamon County involving the Prevailing Wage Act of this State. Appellant filed
his petition seeking to enjoin the Director of Public Works and Buildings, the Chief Highway Engineer, the Director of Finance,
the Auditor and the Treasurer of the State of Illinois, and also Sangamon County, its superintendent of highways, county clerk,
and treasurer, from making contracts and disbursing funds under said act. Appellant's petition for leave to file his injunction
suit was granted upon a hearing wherein the trial court found reasonable grounds existed for filing the suit. Appellant, hereinafter
referred to as petitioner, based his right to sue upon the facts that he is a citizen and taxpayer of this State, having paid
all realty taxes assessed against real estate he owns, all license taxes under the Motor Vehicle Act, and all taxes for gasoline
purchased under the Motor Fuel Tax Act. The complaint, in substance, attacked the constitutionality of the Prevailing Wage
Act. Appellees, hereinafter referred to as defendants, filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the act in all respects is
constitutional and valid. The trial court thereupon dismissed the complaint for want of equity.
