On City Case
Counsel for Property Owners
Gives Result Of Hard Fought
Case, Settles Long
Fight

Mr.. EdltOr:-The Court Of Civil Ap-
psals has affirmed the decision
Of the Chancellor in the case against
the corporation Of Lawrencebure grow
Ing out Of the Scott survey. The suit
was certainly ably defended BY Judge
Morrison and Judge Williams
Now ! have never said that Judge
Williams was not an intelligent and
progressive mayor, or that, during the
whole time he served as mayor, be was
not looking after the interest Of the
tax payers Of the city. Nor have
said that any one Of the members Of the
city council who approved the survey
Of Mr.. Scott, was not acting in entire
good faith. However, since the facts
in the case we're fully developed, II has
been my Idea that the mayor and mem
bers Of the council were deceived and
mislead By Mr.. Scott. This may be
only my opinion lOr what it is worth.
On the other hand the tax payers
who brought this suit. acted in the ut.
most good faith, believing that the city
was about to appropriate their prop
erty 10 erect side walks, and their con-
tenliOn has been sustained by the
Chancellor and the court Of Civil APP
peals.
Now lei US all pull together for the
up. building Of the city.
Yours Very Truly

| These four things We're:
Natural resources must be con-
served and also used for the common
good.
Raw materials must be put at the
disposal of every person in the United

Banking credit must be put on

Business must be free of every form

declaration he was loudly applauded.
No applause greeted his fourth deelar-
