Judge sustains demurrer in Carlisle joint high school case
Judge W H Bridwell on Monday sustained the defendant J Frank Sproatt trustee of Haddon township in the injunction suit filed by George B Willis to stop the Carlisle town and the township from building a joint high school. The temporary restraining order was dissolved. The court held the 1911 election law is a remedy for townships when a trustee refuses to build and declined to grant the requested relief. Willis was granted an appeal to the Appellate court.
