Injunction Proceedings Instituted
Last August to be Argued.
Some time during the month of
August of last year Mr.. E. u. Tower,
of Oakland. instituted injunction.
proceedings in the Circuit Court for
this county to prohibit the Mayor
and Council of Oakland from pro-
ceeding further with the grading,
then in progress, of Oak street. In
his bill Mr.. Tower made the allega-
ton that in the event the grading
was proceeded with along the lines set
by the civil engineer his property
fronting on Oak street would be ire
parably damaged and he would be
put to large expense. 1t was further
alleged that the town was bankrupt.
In view of the facts as set out in the
bill the Court granted an injunction,
work on the street was stopped, and
a date was set to hear the cause argued
last December but owing to unfor-
seen circumstances the hearing did
not take place and from that time
until recently nothing further was
done in the case, when the City Attor-
ney acting upon the orders of the
Council filed a petition with the Court
asking for an order setting a time for
final argument in the case, with leave
in the meantime for either side to
take testimony in support of the allie
cations in the proceedings.
The petition was presented to
Judge Henderson a week or two ago
and he set September 18th as the date
for final argument.
Testimony on both sides will be
taken some time next week before a
special examiner.
