Judge Kittle's injunction report guides Taylor County road case

The court reviews Judge Warren Bittle's full report on the Welsh et al v County Court of Taylor County. It examines if the Taylor County Court and advisory board exceeded authority in May 1922 by altering road contracts and widening routes beyond the engineer's nine foot plan, dispersing funds from a $1,000,000 bond issue to build a broader network across Booths Creek district and other areas. The decision weighs statutory limits, published notices, voter intent, and the feasibility of completing the originally outlined 38.5 miles of roads with specified surface widths.
