APPEAL OF VILLAGERS.
Wauwotosa Sends a Delegation to
Madison to Invoke the Gov

Madison, Wis, July 9.-[Special. IA
special session of the Legislature to RENE
dy the defects in the village incorporation
law, as brought to light by the recent de-
cison of the Supreme court, is now
among the proba bilities. A delegation
of citizens of the village of Wauwatosa,
consisting of Edgar w. Coleman of Der
Herold Milwaukee: Assembyman b. ID.
Hoyt, C. Fingado, president of the vii
lage, and James Lefcber and John M.
Dunlap, trustees, spent an hour ana
half with Gov. Upham today seeking
relief FROM si.:a Dredicament in which
that village finds itself.
Last Tuesday July {, an injunction
was issued by Court Commissioner krez,
restraining the village board from exer-
cising any of the functions of president
or trustees. The action is brought Ill the
name of the state. on relation OF William
Worm. Worm is Il taxpayer, the real
animus of whose action is said to be the
fact that the village board has refused
to grant him liquor license.
The delegation lay it's case before the
governor, pointing out that under the
injunction there are no officers IN the
village to do its business, and in fact
no village incorporation, hence the ne
cessity for immediate relief. Ihey
asked him to call a speclal session W ths
Legislature to legalize previous acts OF
the village officers and to pass an act
authorizing the incorporation OF villages.
The governor asked that they endeavor
to have Judge Johnson Of the Milwau-
kee circuit court pass on the matter as
soon as possible, and said that if he
should affirm the injunction he would
take the matter under immediate con-
sideration. The governor gave the dele
CATION TO understand that if it could be
shown that villages were wiped out and
that there were no other remedy, he
would call a special session of the 1egis'
