Wooster Bond Case Upheld By U S Court Of Appeals
Cincinnati November 15. J R Zimmerman Wooster and bondholders win in the United States Court of Appeals by three judges led by Chief Justice Lurton. Metz argued for the city and Sanders for the Eastern Trust Co. The ruling binds Wooster to pay about 76 000 in bonds and interest, with total near 100 000, and the decision is final as the high court lacks jurisdiction over municipal bond validity under Ohio statutes.
