Mandamus Trial In Gratiot County Local Option Case
The Gratiot Circuit Court hears a mandamus action by Stone and Watson seeking to compel the Gratiot County Board of Supervisors to submit the local option liquor question to voters. The judge reviews petition sufficiency affidavits and board determinations, noting the board’s findings on petition validity and electors signature counts. The opinion analyzes precedents on whether courts may review board decisions, concluding the board’s determinations are final under the statute. The record shows the board refused to submit based on petition authentication and number of electors, with the court weighing finality questions for submission.
