A very unusual meeting of the Grafton Township Board of Audi¬ tors was held last Thursday eve¬ ning at the township garage in Huntley, Illinois. Unlike meetings where spectators are not permitted to interrupt the Board during the business session and interject com¬ ments, this meeting was opened to the public to discuss a prob¬ lem of mutual interest to all of Grafton Township, that being the decision of Judge William Carroll to grant a temporary injunction against the Board of Auditors for¬ bidding them to conduct any special meetings or hearings on house Bill 1473.
The Plaintiffs, William and Ber¬ nice Russell, Mrs. Leona Nelson and Mrs. Carol Marsh, gained a temporary injunction from Judge Carroll on charges that the Town¬ ship had not published the notice correctly, and that the law may be unconstitnticHial.
Last Tharsday Attorney Robert Canfield of the law ftrm of Can- field, Canfield and Franks, repre¬ senting the Township, was present at the meeting. Attorney Can- field stated that he thought a final hearing on the suit against the Township probably would be beard in December, fie stated that any law signed by the Governor, orbo ie a laiw;^ himself, and tbe «bii*^ tJeaeriJr'or the State" of Illinois, was probably constitu¬ tional and went on to say that the

burden of proof of the constitu¬ tionality of the law was up to the plaintiffs. Mr. Canfield said the bonding company like a court decision on all new laws. Mr. Can- field stated that the injunction de¬ cision could be appealed.
A spectator stated that in the Crystal Vista area a rumor was being circulated that the town¬ ship was enjoined from holding a meeting on the 1473 bill, that the law was dead, and the subdivi¬ sion's only hope for sanitary and road improvements was to vote for annexation to the City of Crystal Lake on December 3. Attorney Canfield stated that this was not the case, that the law was definite¬ ly not dead until it was prornd unconstitutional in a Court of Law. He stated that were resi¬ dents of Crystal Vista and other sections to vote annexation,. Crys¬ tal Lake was not under obliga¬ tion to take them in.
Supervisor Howard Rntii stated that it was not the place of the Township to defend or oppose an* nexation. Attorney Canfidd staled that whether or not the Township was permitted to go ahead with the hearing for itmrnveme^ In Crystal Vista and Wes

Auditor Herbert Eggers stated that before a permanent injunc¬ tion could be granted to the plaintiffs, that tbey would have to prove that the Township did not have the authority to levy assessments. Members of the Board and many speetotms pres¬ ent agreed.
The discussion at this point changed to the possibility -^ a change of venue from Judge Carroll's court to another court in the circuit.
The motion was made by Auditor Harold Keck, seconded by Floyd Schmuck to defend the Township's position in tbe injunction suit and ask for a rhaajti of vmue. The vote was all ayes.
