Restrain Sale of Fiat Property for 1931 Taxes Topeka
Chief Justice William A. Johnston of the Kansas Supreme Court issued a restraining order delaying the sale of real property tied to 52 University of Kansas and Baker University fraternities for delinquent 1931 taxes. The injunction, sought by fraternity lawyers, blocks Douglas county officers while litigation over taxable status continues before the court. The ruling notes sale is not imminent since organizations would have three years to pay taxes if the court rules against them. A special commissioner’s findings are before the court.

Four year legal battle over damages returns to court
Dan Johnson renews a $5,000 damages suit against Employers Liability Assurance Corp Ltd on behalf of Topeka resident Tangie G Godsey. The 1928 accident near Midland killed Mrs Eaton and Miss Eaton and injured Godsey. A prior $9,450 judgment was upheld but remains unsatisfied as the Business Men's Protective Association became insolvent and Johnson argues the London insurer is liable for half. A separate $10,000 death claim by George Eaton is pending. The case highlights insurer responsibility and ongoing litigation.
