Would Halt Negotiations
With Architects Again.

A new move to halt the
present school board from
carrying out the school build
ing program was disclosed to-
day when it was learned a mo-
ton to reinstate the restraining
order to prevent the board
from continuing negotiations
with architects for construction
of six new schools, was on file
in Superior Court Four,
The motion was dated Dec. "a. and
contained a second paragraph to the
injunction. Besides members Of the
school board the architects were
named co.defendants.
According to Thomas Z. Garvin.
attorney for Kay K. Wark, the plain
tiff, the motion to re-instate the ra
straining order is similar to a mo-
ton for a new trial.
The motion set forth three reasons
for reinstatement. They are:
First, the court ruling was not
supported by sufficient evidence;
second. court ruling was contrary to
law. and third, the answer filed by
defendants does not state facts suffl-
cient to constitute a defense of ac-
ton.
May Appeal
II is understood that IL the court
overrules the motion. an appeal may
be taken to the Supreme Court.
Garvin said that he could not ap-
peal from Judge Clinton H. Givan's
ruling OF Thursday when he dis
solved the restraining order against
the board. An appeal can be made
on the motion for Reinstatement.
