The Dakota Central Telephone Co through counsel Lynch and Null obtained a May 13 order from the U S circuit court for the district of South Dakota sitting at St Paul. It requires the city and council to show cause at Sioux Falls on the 29th why the Beadle county circuit court suit should not be enjoined or dismissed and why city actions contrary to a 1908 decree should not be barred. The case tests Judge Taylor’s authority over state process and could allow the company to install underground wires and an automatic system in Huron, with a projected cost between 60 000 and 100 000. The piece urges local leaders to support business progress and end municipal opposition.
