Bradford township farmers win Supreme Court ruling
The Supreme Court reversed a county court decision annexing parts of Fred Mehlhausen and Emma Schinzer farms to the Inlet Swamp Drainage district. The ruling centers on whether surface water reaches drainage districts via natural courses or artificial ditches, with Justice Ortin Carter delivering part of the opinion. Attorney E H Briwster of Dixon represented the landowners in the appeal.
