THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL -x7ioxand. orego::. 18 TUESDAY. JULY 27, 1SZ0. WORK ON HIGHWAY IS RESTRAINED BY ORDER OF COURT . , A. restraining order, to become ef fective as soon as a bond in the sum of $10,000 is filed and approved by the court was Issued by Circuit Judge McCourt, Monday, in the suit of the cities of Dallas and Independence, Edward E. Piascki, district attorney of Polk county, and others, against the state highway com mission. . This " order enjoins the commission from proceeding further with the con struction of the state highway, extend ing south from McCoy towards Holmes Gap. except the finishing of such por tions of the hfgn way on this route that are now graded , and rocked and ready for the surfacing.'; , 1 t It also provides that the commission be restrained from expending; any of the funds of the highway commission on this route except such as may be re quired to finish the surfacing as above ' Indicated, but not to exceed in distance 1090 feet north of the finished pavement now .laid. This order was Issued after hearing arguments, and ' the decision of Judge McCourt, in effect, is that the state high way commission must construct the Pacific highway. through the cities of Dallas and Independence, in conformity to the expressed route adopted by the state legislature, to which it was won over by arguments before it, as shown by, the official record. The inference is that if the route by way of McCoy and - Holmes Gap is completed It will have to be by use of county, funds." . John W. Kaste made the arguments for the two cities that have won the legal victory, and the case of the state highway commission was presented by Jay Bowerman.
