A Drain Suit From Ypsilanit

Mrs. Jeanette Bice seeks to enjoin County Drain Commissioner Barry from constructing what is known as the Hamilton Tile Drain in Ypsilanti township. She claims that there was not a legal petition of ten freeholders, that five names on the petition were obtained by misrepresentation and fraud.

She charges that the drain commissioner was tyrannical, that he jeered at her when she asserted her rights, that he would listen to no protest and said he had a right to do as he pleased.
