A VICTORY FOR BRITT
Citizens of That Town Elated Over
the Decision in County
Seat Case.
Garner Finds Itself With a New
Court House on Its
Hands.
Story of the Struggle Between the
Two Rival Cities-1he
Decree
to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican
Britt, Oct. 1S.-The verdict of the SUI
preme court in the county seat case is
regarded as a complete victory for
Britt, and Garner finds itself with a
new court house for which it has no use
on its hands. 1t can probably be used
for high school or normal school
building, but never for a court house.
This decision practically decides the
question of the removal of the county
seat. Removing all the legal phrases
and technicalities, the plain English is
that Garner or any other town can not
remove the county seat from Concord
without vote of the people as pro-
vided by law. The present condition.
therefore, of the county seat contest is
that il shall remain as it is for the
present. and no agitation for the re-
moval of the county seat can be made
under four years, or five years from the
time the Britt petition was filed, which
was in 1898.

The Decision.

( l)eS MONIES, oct. 1S.--Dne OF the most
+ peculiar county seat fights that has
eyer been presented to the supreme
court of Iowa was determined by de-
cision handed down by that court yes
lterday. Il is from Hancock county.
The village of Concord was the county
seat. having been so designated thirty
years ago 1t never incorpora ted. but
( a block of ground was selected for the
site and the court house erected. The
village grew UP and around this site.
After while a railroad came along
Land built the town of Garner, a mile or
Whereabouts from Concord. Then an
other railroad built across the county
and the thriving village of Britt was
developed. Britt began 10 be referred.
/ 10 IN the newspapers as the metropolis
sof Hancock county. Ii became am.
bilious for the county seat. and at
length it's people got up a petition for
an election TO remove the county seat
TO that town. This was sent 10 the
supervisors, and while ii vas pending
and before action was taken on il the
people of Garner got together With
those of Concord ana agreed TO make
common cause ia the fight. As Con-
cord wasn't much bigger than 30 cents
/. it agreed to be absorbed by Garner and
then the county seat would be in Car
ner- Then the people Of the Greater
iG;arner--thus the supreme court grave
IL calls i,-would raise money enough
Ito buy a new county building ANA site
lin the limits Of the Greater Garner, but
! within the old town OF Garner. The an
4 nexation Plan was submitted TO a vote.
rand Concord was duly annexed. Now
ii appears That the mistake was made
in annexing Concord to Garner. Il
learner had been annexed 10 Concord ii
! would have been all right ana the court
\ house would have been saved. but as /
lis the court maintains that the build
ing cannot be removed outside of the
toriginal limits of Concord without a
! vote of the people.
The village Of Concord being an-
1 nexed; the Garner people raised $4,000
land offered II TO fhe board of supervis-
drs with which TO build a new court
house. TIE law provides that after the
court house is located the supervisors
| may remove it nom one part of the
town 10 another without a vote of the
! people. but they cannot remove it to
lanother town without the VOTE The SUI
pfelne court says the building and rec
ords do not alone constitute the county
seat. It is supposed TO mean the mus
4 nicipality in Which these buildings and
4 records are located. There is no doubt
that such municipality can annex

Garner and in that case the court house
