This notice OF an appeal may delay

SUTTON DEFEATED, BUT
STILL FULL OF FIGHT
Commemorative Attorney or Henrico
County Tells Why He Thinks County
Shnnld a nuHnl.

commemorative Attorney Frank T.
sutton. Jr., of Hcnrico County, was
slightly more communicative regard
ing his ideas as to why the county
than were his associates. lie had
fought hard battle, had contest ed
every foot of ground which fur
nished him but infrcqucnt footings,
and. as had been predicted. had been
defeated.
In no wise discouraged, lie had been
ovcrruled in objection after objection,
only TO come back smilinSIy with an
other hot shot at the advances which
the opposing lawyers were making.
And then. after the decree had ?ecn
read and the case apparently brought
to "a close. he had given notice that lie
was not yet down and out. bu: would
persist still further in his fight for
those things TO which he thought his
county entitled.
There are two main points. which
make themselves cvideat among the
innumcrablc others of less Importance,
why Henrico should appeal the case"
he said. One of them is that Rich-
mond is not I'm need OF the great
extension which IT demanded, and the
other is that they have taken much OF
our revenue from US and have left us
the great majority OF our roads still
to be cared for. These roads are of
as great benefit, If not more, to the
city than to the county. and. as Judge
Campbell said. 1t is but just and fair
that Richmond should share In their
upkccp.
Regarding the need OF additional
territory. there is much ground within
the city limits which has not been
built upon. and it is to be noted hat
most of tho new territory desired by
the city was that which had been do
veloped while it was part Of tho
county, or had been organized as town
ships. III is to be noted that tho lines.
AS suggested by the county, were fol-
lowed almost entirely in tho East
End"

NOTICE OF APPEAL TELLS
HOW HE STANDS, SAYS SMITH

Before the decree was read, in the

counsel for Iienrico County. was asked
by Tho Times Dispatch to express his
opinion, following the reading of tho
paper lie replied that if tho decree
was as favorable as lie could wish for
he would willingly make an expression,
but that II ii was not. he felt that he
could hardly do so.
He was asked Immediately after the
decree had been read what he thought
OF It. ard said that the fact that the
county had given notice OF an appeal
should show exactly how he regarded
the decision. Pressed for details as
to the points on which he was not sat.
listed Mr.. Smith called particular at
tention to the matter Of n contribution
from the city for the maintenance or
county roads.
"'The fact that Judge Campbell ex-
pressed himself as being uncertain as
10 his powers for forcing the city to
pay. this amount. but stated that he
thought it just and fair that the re
muEeration be made Henrico for tho
vast amount of taxable property which
she will lose as q result of annexation
is sufficient grounds for appeal" he
said. 'Of course the exceptions noted
In tito trial will form the basis of any
appeal but the facts concerning the
roads. which l have mentioned, are a
very potent factor for considerations"
Mr.. Smith seemed to regard this as
one of the most essential points and
laid. stress. on the fact that while n
great per cent of the county's taxable
property had been lost to it by the nm.
neXation. only a very small amount Of
road was taken in by the city, and
many miles would have to be cared for
He noted that the roads of Henrico
arc Of inestimable value to Richmond
ers, as they provide the means Of
countless automobile parties and are
used ,hy practically every farmer who
brings his produce to tho city.
