PLEA 10 CHECK PUBLICATION OF ACTS EXPECTED Judge Chamberlain Sees Delayed Hearing of Injunction Plea. I Filing of a request for a restraining order to prohibit Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier from publishing acts of the Legislature is expected to lie the next move of city manager leaders. They are seeking to prevent tho amendment to the city manager law passed by the last Legislature from becoming a part of the law.

Court Docket Crowded Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin said that because of the crowded condition of his calendar the injunction plea probably would not be heard until the last of May. In the meantime Schortemeier went ahead with preparation for printing the laws. After a, conference with Gilliom, Monday, Schortemeier said he would proceed with publication without waiting to see outcome of the city manager law suit, and several other suits attacking Governor Jackson’s pocket veto of a number of bills. Attack Legality Herman B. Gray, assistant secretary of State, has announced the acts will be published by April 25 and possibly sooner. Suit filed Monday in behalf of Franklin Vonnegut and W. H.

The bill amending the city manager law was sent to Jackson within two days of adjournment. If the city manager forces are successful in their attack a number of other hills sent to the Governor within two days of the Legislature’s closing, and signed by him, probably will be contested.

Collins recently conferred regarding political patronage was afloat at city hall. “Tip” From Freeman “On my honor as a man there is nothing to it,” he declared. Armitage said William 11. Freeman, former works hoard member, had informed him of tho rumor. Armitage was given credit for the appointment of Frank C, Lingenfelter to succeed former City Engineer Chester Oberleas, ousted by Duvall, in a concrete-asphalt paving war.
