Two Cortland County Towns Badly

by the towns OF Scion and TAYLOR In Cortland

projected Utica, ChenenRo. ami Cortland rail-

farming towns. untouched Ly railroads and
uncomtortably isolated from the centres OF

ectors set on foot o scheme Tor building q line
from Cortland to Utica which should pass
directly through their borders these and other
isolated towns along the proposed line were
easily persuaded TO lend financial aid to the

effect that the bonds, as originally issued. were
fatally defective aud void. and that further

they began AN action in the supreme Court Of
the Sixth Judicial District against tho Will

alleged failure at q outset Of compliance with

OF the taxpayers representing u majority OF
the taxable property of the town. and for other

OF Appeals. as the final tribunal. recently ruled
on all points against the town OF Solon. and
incidentally against Taylor also. holding that

$26.474.9h and OF four judgments against the
