Verdict Against Grafton Village in Fee Suit
A Cleveland engineer Frederick G. Robinson and lawyers Roy Vandemark and Herschel Holland secured a 5737.12 verdict against Grafton Village in Judge D A Cook court for professional services in negotiating a new electric rate and offsetting alleged overcharges. They claimed a contract to receive half of rate savings and half of refunds, arguing the 1935 rate changes would save the village 9474 and a disputed 2000 franchise payment. The village’s attorney John Nece said a motion for a new trial would be filed.
