A temporary injunction was sought by a committee of 17 wealthy landowners aiming to prevent the election set for May 12. Attorneys for the committee planned to seek a restraining order rather than present merits. The state supreme court refused to grant original jurisdiction. The same day Deupree said the suit seeks to enjoin the city from holding the election. Shirk indicated the petition seeks to bar placement of Lincoln Terrace Howe's Capitol Howe's Second Capitol and Classen's North Highland additions on the ballot. Separately the state school land commission invited bids on oil and gas leases on 114.68 acres of state school land in a zone now restricted from drilling with bids due May 27 near the new mansion oil field.
