Az SABLE T0WNSHIP AND
- CITY SUED on BOND ISSUE


Il i. -
A suit Of novel character Ia beins
atgued before Judge Swan, the parties
being the Montpelier Savings 4 Trust
Co., OF Montpelier. VT, and the city
and township OF Au Sable. The Yer.
mont institution is suing to recover
on $4,000 Of bonds issued by the city
OF Au Sable In 1892. In 1895 the legis-
lature passed an act detaching a por-
ton OF the city and making it part
Of the township.
Since that time. according to the
testimony adduced. the portion which
reverted to the township has waxed
prosperous. while the remainder of
the city has gone down until its tax
ing power Is not sufficient to meet It's
proportion of the debt. The division
OF the debt at the time of the separa-
ton was based on the assessment of
1894. The plaintiff Is endeavoring to
have the division Of responsibility
fixed On the relative assessments of
1904. the time when the bonds ma
tured.
This makes q vast difference az Au
Sable proper has lost every industry.
1t Is asserted. and its buildings are
said to be dilapidated and It's side
walks poor. while the portion an.
nexed to the township contains the
business of H. M. Loud & Sons and
other industries. A suit to recover
was instituted by the bank In the first
place. but only portion of the princi-
pal and interest was recovered Now
this suit has been brought In equity,
ave years after the bonds -fnatured.
to recover the remainder.
Judge Swan remarked to counsel
that the case had some points OF re-
semblance to that recently tried here
to determine the division of debt of
the village Of Fairview between the
city of Detroit and the village OF
Crosse Pointe Park. which succeeded
Fairview. In that case, he remarked,
he had been somewhat In doubt as to
the proceedings In equity.
!, I'm other words, L took chance"
smilingly added the Judge.
The question of dividing the debt
according to the time OF maturity of
the bonds. 10 said to be new legal
point In municipal law, never. before
passed upon by the courts.
After enc OF the attorneys for the
vermont bank had argued this point
voluminously for an hour or more,
Judge Swan interposed by saying:
II think that i begin to see your
point"
The bill OF complaint states that The
assessed valuationSof the city of An
Sable had fafisn from $147.295 in 1895
to Sl,339 ten vAarp later, when collec-
ton was attempted.
