Iowa Electric Company filed with the Supreme Court an abstract of the record in its suit to stop Cascade from building a municipal electric plant. The town voted last September to build the plant at a cost not to exceed 100000. A temporary injunction halted work, but District Judge H C Ring denied a permanent injunction.
