Suit by Taxpayer Seeks Writ To Halt Villa Louis Transfer
A gas station owner, Joseph Balk, files in circuit court to stop the transfer of Villa Louis to the state historical society. He seeks a temporary injunction and restraining order to block six aldermen from signing title. The aldermen were ordered to appear May 31 before Judge A W Kopp to show cause. Balk claims the transfer would unlawfully divert city property and cause irreparable harm to bulk and city taxpayers. The council had resolved that three quarters sign the deed, and Atty. Gen. Vernon Thomson advised the action. Mayor William Carroll and city clerk were ordered to sign, but Carroll refuses.
