The following letter was read
from attorney z. T. Vinson:
Huntington, w. Va, June -, 1898.
Mr.. W. a. Ramsdell,
Member of the Town Council
of Ceredo, Ceredo, w. Va,
My Dear SIR
| authorize you to submit 10
your council the following promo
sitlon with reference to an appeal
in the Hoard case against your
town:
l will prosecute the appeal, and
If | do not succeed in reversing il
Will not charge your town any
fee at all, in which event the ONLY
cost your town would incur would
be the copying and printing of the
record aud brief, and the actual
cost of taking the appeal should
not exceed Sl25 to $3.50. If. how
ever, succeed in reversing the
case In the Supreme Court, nv fee
will he 500, in which event all
the cost of copying the record.
etc, will have TO be paid by the
Messrs. Hoard. So ] think You
can safely rely upon the presump.
ton that the case would not cost
the town to exceed $3.50, whether
IT wins or loses, and if it should
win then II would only cost 800.
l make this proposition iu this
way IN view of the fact that the
case was urged for submission in
my absence, aud was submitted
when | was not at the court. and I
feel that the decision of the court
Is clearly wrong, and that our
chances for reversing il In the Su-
preme Court are extremely good
think 1T unfortunate for the citi-
zens of Ceredo to be compelled 10
submit TO a systematic outrage on
their rights, aud especially to have
to submit to forcible deprivation
of their streets and alleys at the
hands of those who have no rights
Or interest IN the streets and al
leys more than any other citizen
OF your town, aud who should be
first to protect TO the town those
rights instead of undertaking 10
take them away from you.
If your council concludes to di-
rect the appeal to be taken if YOU
will kindly advise me / will have
the record prepared at once.
Very truly,
~ vINsoN.
