Polk Citizens Seek to Recover $43,000 Paidj I -. . .. -TTY-' i 1- fl on. uontraci wiin Highway Board Pallas, Or., June 28. The suit by residents of Independence against the state highway commis sion.' attempting to compel the commission to pat the high .cay through Independence, which was recently filed, stated as one of the reasons for objecting to the con tract entered int between the Polk county court and the high way commisison that $43,000 of the market road fund was to be contributed in laying the road bed of the highway south of ifom mouth. This was further empfia' sized yesterday when a supple mental complaint was filed by At torney I). E. Fletcher of Independ ence in behalf of the plaintiffs. A few days before the suit was filed In the court the Polk county court instructed the county clerk to draw a warrant In favor of the state highway commission for $43,000 and charge the same against the market road fund. This was done to bind the contrac between the two bodies. The sup plemental complaint alleges that the county clerk and the defend ants had notice that the complaint had been filed and that the said county paid and caused to be paid to the members of the state high way commission the sum of $43, 000, which payment was void. They demand that the court shall issue a mandatory injunction, di rected to the state highway com mission, to repay the county of Polk the sura of $43,000; and that the same be received by the county treasurer and placed in the mar ket road fund; and, if the commis sion fails to do so, that a judg ment should be entered in favor of the county against the state high way commission. In discussing the situation with Attorney D. E. Fletcher of Inde pendence, he made the assertion that the only way that the courts could possibly uphold the high way commission and not grant the relief asked for by the plaintiffs In the suit was to Ignore the law; and that he was confident that the courts would uphold the law which is so definite upon the loca tion of the West Side highway through Polk county, that inde pendence would get the highway as outlined by the legislature.
