The Monon Road Case.

Monticello Journal: The complications in the Monon Macadam road case have somewhat increased since our last notice. On the 9tb day of March, John C. Lowe filed before the commissioners a motion to dismiss all proceedings. This motion the Board refused to entertain. From this action of the Board an appeal was taken to the Circuit court, the papers and transcript being filed with the clerk on April 19th. This leaves a case pending in the White Circuit court as well as one in the Supreme court. In the meantime, Seasongood & Meyer, who contracted, for the bonds subject to approval, have boen advised by their attorney not to take the bonds until all litigation was disposed of. They have returned the transcript and papers, and notified the treasurer to that effect. If no other parties can be found who are willing to take them, all work is blocked for at least a year.
