The COURT HOUSE CASE
JACKSON CoUNTY'S AFFAIRS IN SU-
PREME COURT.
The Effort Failed to Have the Case
Advanced and Set Down
for Immediate
Hearing.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes
tardav denied the motion to advance
and set down for immediate hearing
the Jackson County Court House case
In which certain citiz OF the county
are endeavoring to prevent the county
commissioners from constructing new
court house.
The case will have to come up in It's
regular place upon the docket In the
rail- of the division in which Jackson
County is located. IN the meanwhile
the work on the proposed county court
house will be suspended. The motlon
to advance the case was made by the
attorneys for the county commission
ers In the lower court the county
commissioners were victorious. Their
attorneys sought to have the case set
down for immediate hearing so that
the court house could be built. but
the motion was denied.
The case involves the construction
of a section of the constitution which
will have an important effect upon fu-
ture county improvements
The citizens who are opposing the
erection of the court house advance
several reasons why the contract al
ready entered into should be declared
mill and void. The proposed court
house is to be similar to the one re-
Gently erected in Marens" county anu
is TO cost between $4,000 and 100000.
The complaint is made that the con-
tract price is excessive and was not
made in harmony with the law.
The most important point raised,
however is that the constitution re-
nYires that all bond issues must first

county commissioners did not submit
