COMMISSION HAS A
RIGHT TO ABANDON
BUILDING OF ROAD
SUCH is THE OPINION OF JUDGE
SAM HOLDING in THE c.
GIL CASE.
Decision Will Be Appealed to the su-
prefne Court by the Petitioners for
Road Through the Farm of Maury
Cecil.

Saturday afternoon, sitting as spec
ial Judge, Judge Sam Holding declar-
ed that the Maury county road COM
mission and Maury county had a right
to abandon any road, despite the pro
test of certain petitioners, and that
the commission and the county had
absolute control of such public i'm
provments in this county.
The decision was handed down in
the case of the Maury County Road
Commission against Maury Cecil,
which has been fought in the courts
for several months. About one year
ago a roadway was laid out across
the arm owned by Maury Cecil, and
the land condemned for road purpos-
es. From this action of the commits
sion, Maury Cecil appealed to the
Circuit Court. The case docKeted
for trial, when the road commission
ers and the county, through their at
torney W. c. Whitthorne, entered a
motion before the court to dismiss
the case, and the building Of the road
was abandoned.
Here there was a petition, signed
by several people Of that neighbor-
hood, who objected to the dismissal
of the suit and the abandoning Of the
road.
Judge Holdings opinion was hand
ed down in this case on Saturday af
ternoon, and followed the opinion by
the dismissal of the case from the cir
cult court. The petitioners, through
their attorneys, Hatcher & Hatcher,
filed notice that they would appeal to
the suprtme court.
Maury Cecil has been represented
throughout these cases by W. c. Sal
mon.
