Perry.
Perry is one of the Iowa cities which
would be vitality affected should a gen.

The second hearing for an Injunction
to enjoin the town officials of Eddyviile
from issuing certain warrants, attend
ling to certain business and transacting
certain work by certain methods, was
expected to come up, for a hearing be-
fore Judge Seneca Cornell in the dis

failure to post the required notices it
was not heard and will in all probability
be held over until the fall term for
trial. When the first application was
filed the town official Immediately filed
motion to dissolve the. injunction.
This the court did after hearing the
evidence and he based his findings on
he limitations of the statute which
provided that the proper notice should
nave been given before the Injunction
vas issued. Notice was then supposed
o have been given and date set for the
;econd hearing for an injunction but
allure to appear will probably result
II the matter being put ahead until
.erm time, which will be after Aug. SO.
