Garden City Case Is Before
Judge W. 1. Comstock
from Fridays Daily.

from Fridays Daily.
In the suit brought in the district
court to annul the consolidation of
the Garden City school district with
six other school districts, the taking
of the testimony was concluded yes
terday, and the arguments will be
presented to the court later.
The main reliance of the appel
lants, who seek to have the whole
proceeding nullified, seems to be the
theory that the law was not complied
with in getting the necessary twen-
ty-five per cent of the free holders
of every one of the seven districts
to sign the petition for consolidation.
The testimony that was introduced on
behalf of the appellants was mainly
to prove this. and quite number of
witnesses were examined to throw
light on the question whether this or
that one was or was not a freehOlder
Another point that the appellants are
urging is that some of those who
SlS1eu lu6 p0IlIlOll, dlIci Wdluo 1C-
quested that their names be with
drawn, but those who circulated the
petition took the position that they
had no right to withdraw their names
1t is probable also that the appel
/ lants will urge on the court the view
that the consolidation of the district
was in itself an unwise move, but it
is not thought by the respondents
that the court will pass on this ques-
ton, but will consider that mat
ter for the voters themselves to de-
termine -

posts in front of the property of the
three plaintiffs 1t is maintained by
the village officials that the posts are
out in the road, being in front of the
sidewalk line. The court, at the con-
clusion of the arguments, dismissed
the case, thus deciding in favor OF the
