and others who were plaintiffs in the
case and those who have been sup
porting them in the fight to have a
county seat election called, have al
ready arranged to appeal to the su-
preme court. They are confident that
the higher court will decide in their
favor.
Judge Reaves ruled in his decision
handed down yesterday that he has
no authority, under the law, to grant
a mandamus compelling the calling
of an election. He seems to have
based his decision on the point that
the statutes limit the calling OF an
election to 20 years from the time a
court house is first erected. Judge
Reaves holds that the court house
now standing at Clearwater complies
with the law.
The opinion Of Judge Reaves was
received here this afternoon. He
holds that Clearwater is the county
seat and that no election can be
held or the location changed. He
says in part in the opinion:
"The county seat Of Pinellas coun-
ty was established by the act Great
ing the county (whether such estab-
lishment was temporary or perma-
nent is immaterial) and was subject
to removal under the provisions Of
said act OF 1911 until the courthouse
was built. BY the building OF the
courthouse, however, Pinellas coun-
ty was taken out of the terms Of the
act by virtue Of section 10 thereof
until such time as the courthouse
shall be 20 years old"
