ATTORNEY TAKES OTHER VIEW
Attorney r. v. Baker Who Represented
Patrick Tobin and Other Property
Owners Claims That Appeal May Be
Filed Within Next Thirty Days.

It looks like the Sheridan Road is
going to be completed from Kenosha
south to the tate line this year.
Thursday was the last day for the
fling of an appeal in the injunction
case, according to the county officials
and no appeal was filed. Attorney r.
V. Baker who represents Patrick To-
bin and other property owners who
asked for the injunction against the
sale of the township bonds, declares
that he does not take this view of the
situation. He admitted this morning
that no appeal had been fled in the
case.
There are still thirty days in which
to file this appeal" said Mr.. Baker,
"as no formal notice of Judgment was
served upon me or my clients" Mr..
| Baker, however, declined to state that
any appeal would be taken in the case.
eff / had thought that Thursday was
the last day for fling of an appeal, I
would have filed one to protect my
clients" he said, "but I am not in
position to say that an appeal will be
taken.
| Men who are interested in roads de-
clare that the issue was finally adjusted
at the election held the first week of
the month in Pleasant Prairie when the
| people again asserted their desire to
issue bonds by re-electing Chairman
Dowse, who had been most active in
the bond issue campaign.
Patrick Tobin, who, with few other
property owners, sought to enjoin the
town from selling the bonds, was a can
didate for town chairman and he was
defeated at the election. The men who
are interested in the completion Of the
road, declare that if the people of
Pleasant Prairie were opposed to the
bond issue, that they would have de-
| feated Dowse and elected Tobin chair
man and let him have a chance to ex-
press his personal fight against the
road bonds from the official position
of chairman.
1t is admitted that not a peep has
been made by any of the protesting
property owners since the injunction
was dissolved by Judge Belden in rec
ord time. The men who are interested
in the completion of the road declare
that an appeal from the decision of
Judge Belden could do nothing but de-
lay the work on the road as they are
convinced that the higher courts of the
| G. 70 Will 1u+o In 4 og
Judge Belden in every particular and
it is possible that if an appeal is filed
that the appeal will be subject to court
| fight before the case reaches the Su-
preme Court
Meantime the county officials are
planning to go right ahead with the
sale of the bonds to provide the por-
tion of the fund required from the
county and these bonds-$25, in all
will be sold to the highest bidder at
the court house on next Monday after
noon. The action Of the finance COM
mittee of the County Board will be re-
ported at the special reorganization
meeting to be held the first Of May and
it is thought that there is no doubt but
that it will be confirmed. This viii
make it possible to proceed at once
with the work.
The cement which is to be used in
the construction of the roads has al
ready been purchased and the contract
for labor will be let within short
time. 1t is the plan of the county high
way commission to have all work in
the town of Pleasant Prairie provided
for by the bond issues completed by
the first of November.
