Oshkosh Bonds Hit Legal Challenge Over Water Works Purchase
The suit seeks to restrain a 540000 bond issue for the Oshkosh Water Works plant. Pinkerton alleges the November 1912 election did not validly present the purchase question, while the city argues the bond plan complied with public utilities law and that the plaintiff acts not in good faith and is a colorable plaintiff. The city and its officials claim the city took over the waterworks and has operated it for months, making the purchase price payment proper and in the taxpayers’ best interests.
