Demands for Milwaukee bonds spark looming legal clash
Mayor McBeath and Attorney McLeod return from Milwaukee after demanding surrender of county aid bonds from the Milwaukee Trust Company. The trust firm refuses until the matter is resolved, while Bayfield officials pursue evidence the Washburn Bayfield and Western road was not completed on time. The story ties in mortgage moves by Dr. Rice and alleged Sabin influence, with calls for bond forfeiture of about $60,000 and possible trials in Milwaukee or northern circuits.
