Supreme Court of Kansas.

Kenneth G. Speir, Vernon A. Stroberg and Herbert H. Sizemore, all of Newton, appeared on the Consent to Reversal for the appellees.


Per Curiam:

This appeal is from a judgment made and entered during a pretrial conference. The district court held the Water Appropriation Act of 1945 (G.S. 1949, 82a-701, et seq., as amended) to be in violation of the constitution of the state of Kansas and the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution.

The same issues of fact and legal questions were before this court in City of Hesston v. Smrha, 184 Kan. 223
