Hopkinton Loses Bond Increase Bid in Iowa Electric Case
In Manchester Iowa, Judge A B Lovejoy refused Hopkinton’s bid to raise the bond in the injunction suit against Iowa Electric from 1000 to 40000. The town sought to compel a higher bond to cover anticipated construction costs for a municipal lighting plant. Iowa Electric had secured a temporary injunction halting Hopkinton’s government plant project, and Hopkinton is now served by Iowa Electric. Damaged brick and materials had been delivered when the injunction was granted.
