Judge Dismisses Suit To Block City Water Expansion
Judge Robert J. Cain of Grant Circuit Court sustained a plea to dismiss a suit filed last August by Philip O Neill and Samuel Johnson on behalf of Carlin Dawson and others aimed at stopping the 1.9 million revenue bond plan to renovate and expand Anderson water plant and distribution facilities.

Attorneys Johnson and O Neill said they will appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court.
