Olive Brunskill of Bertram township filed a suit to compel the Bertram trustees to issue a road house permit for the Wee Blue Inn east of Cedar Rapids. Defendants include trustees Edward Zobac Clinton Berry and Frank Biederman and secretary George Wislsel. The petition notes 20 plus years of ownership and a $25 000 value with the applicant having operated the restaurant herself for 20 years before leasing it the last three years. The trustees denied the permit on October 6, and the suit pursues action under Iowa law granting township trustees authority over eating establishments outside incorporated areas.
