Plan to Move is in Court
A writ of mandamus was issued by Judge Charles A. Pollock in Wild Rice County to compel Alfred Brunette, a school director, to surrender keys books and other property to two fellow directors so the district’s school can move to a parochial school a mile away. The district, almost all French citizens, voted 21 to 3 for the move in a recent election. Brunette owns a store near the current school and refuses to relinquish possession. The case tests whether a director can thwart voter will and whether state school property may be used for sectarian purposes.
