Rochester. Mimi, December IL
Trial of a case which, it is reported
will establish precedent IN Minnie
sofa law, was begun at the court
house here Monday morning, Win
the opening of the suit OF Charles
POSTER versus the county Of Oamsted
for damages alleged to have Deen
caused by the building OF the bridge
at Oronoco. The situation in Oronoco
has been one of prominence since
the new bridge was Constructed, due
to the fact that there are number
of similar conditions throughout the
state since the road building boom
began.
Mr.. Poster, who has operated Q
grocery and general store in the via
lage Of oronoco for number OF
years, contends that the building OF
the new bridge and the subsequent
grading of the road on either side,
left his store entirely out of the trav-
eled area and placed him In a dis
advantageous position. 1t was stated
at the court house today that he
would ask $2O, 900 damages. Before
the new bridge was installed, th,.
store was on a level with the travelled
road, and easily accessible. Now,
however, it is located twenty or thir-
ty feet below the highway, and can
be reached only by an exceedingly
steep and difficult road, jutting sharp
ly off the main drive.
The case is of such importance that
County Attorney Ronken, who repre-
sents the county is being assisted by
Assistant Attorney General G. II.
Christopherson from the state capitol.
1t is declared that the decision rem
jered in the local court will be the
basis of settlement Of subsequent
similar entanglements throughout the
state. Considerable difficulty was
experienced In drawing up jury,
and the petit list was almost entirely
exhausted before the desirable twelve
were finally impaneled.
