Justice Dunn handed down an opinion
In favor Of the Jay supporters that
the petition for issuance of proclaim
alton by the governor for the calling
OF an election for relocation OF the
county seat did not necessarily have
to contain the names of the towns
to be voted upon The court also
holds that although the notices were
not properly posted in the county, as
provided by law. the election was
legal in that respect because all the
voters had knowledge Of and partic
ipated in the election.
The Grove supporters maintained
that there was not such place a'
Jay. but the court held to the con
trary and that the location was vel
known over the county, several public
pienics having been held on th'
townsite which had been plated bu

court held that there was conflicting
testimony as to whether the sur
