Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 October 1907 — Question Court Jurisdiction. [ARTICLE]

Question Court Jurisdiction.

An error was made in reporting the Marion tp. road case in a recent issue, wherein it was stated that Mrs. tiangloff had taken an appeal from the commissioner coart. The appeal was taken by Delos Thompson, the petitioner for the road, alter the commissioners coart had decided on recommendation of a majority of the viewers that the road was not of public utility. The road had previously been favorably reported and new viewers appointed on the strength of a remonstrance filed by Andrew Gangloff and others. The jurisdic tion of the court to try the case after the commissioners had decided the road not a public utility is somewhat’,doubtful, Judge Hanley’s 'holding that the court has such right being at varianoe with other ~ judges of the state. A case to test this feature is now on appeal and Mrs. Gangloff proposes to carry this case to the supreme court.
