    1952 - Nov 12 - Judge Marsh Rules For Defendants In Lake Road Case
      It was announced at the Marshall Countv Circuit Court at Plymouth this morning that Judge Alvin Marsh had ruled in favor of the defendants in the case of Discher and Discher vs. The Board of County Commissioners and the County Highway Superintendent.

      The suit involving the question of a public roadway to Lake Maxinkuckee runs from the Farrar Road to the lake east of the Discher cottage, on the south shore of the lake.

      Attorneys representing Discher and Discher have formally objected to the Judge's ruling and conclusion, and November 19, next Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. is the time which has been set to hear arguments.

      Judge Marsh's ruling means that a roadway does exist at the disputed place.

      The case is one which arose about 15 months ago when county road officials started to drain and grade the roadway just east of the Discher cottage.

      The plaintiffs filed suit at that time to enjoin the officials from going ahead with the work.

      The proceedings were continued and considerable evidence was presented on both sides of the case in the hearing which was held in early July. At that time the merits of the case were presented to determine if the plaintiff was entitled to enjoin the officials.

      The issue was to determine if there was a highway or not.

      County officials offered evidence to support the contention that it was a public highway while the plaintiff offered witnesses to show that it was not a highway.
