High Point's Power Case
Before High Court Again
Fourth Appeal to State Supreme Court Will
Be Made This Week—Two Cases, One
from Guilford, One from Yadkin
High Point, Nov. 24.—For the
fourth time, High Point attor
neys this week will ask the state
Supreme court for permission to
proceed with a $6,500,000 munici
pal hydroelectric development in
Yadkin county.
This time, the litigation comes
before the high tribunal on an
appeal by ttie.plaintiffs from Su
perior court decisions modifying
previously upheld injunctions
which had barred High Point
from proceeding with the project.
Two cases will be heard —one
from Guilford county and one
from Yadkin.
In the Guilford case, the Duke
Power company and other plain
tiffs appealed when Judge Zeb V.
Nettles cleared the way for the
development by modifying an in
junction issued by Judge Hoyle
Sink and affirmed by the Su
preme court, High Point repre
sentatives told Judge Nettles that
the city had adopted a resolution
repudiating a federal power com
mission license to erect a dam on
the Yadkin river, and would pro
ceed under a 1935 bond act, rath
er than a 1938 act which required
a certificate of convenience and
necessity from the state utilities
commission.
In the Yadkin county case, cer
tain tax payers appeared after
Judge Allen H. Gwyn voided an
injunction obtained by the coun
ty to obstruct the project. High
Point attorneys asked that the
judgment be set aside on the
ground the city would purchase

the county home site, and the
city and county had agreed on a
settlement for the relocation of
county roads —two points of dis
pute between the city and comi
ty.
The state of North Carolina, at
the direction of Governor Hoey,
intervened in the case to protest
the right of the federal power
commission to require a license
for the project. The state with
drew when the Supreme court
ruled that the license was not
necessary.
Arguments for and against the
project were first heard in the
Supreme court on the point
whether the city might serve
other communities. The tribunal
ruled that it could not and up
held an injunction.
Then the municipality amended
its project to include only the
city, and the Superior court void
ed the previous injunctions. From
this action, the plaintiffs appeal
ed and this time the Supreme
court decided in favor of the
project.
Then, last spring, the Supreme
court returned its decision hold
ing the city had no right to ac
cept the federal license; High
Point amended its plan again;
and it is on the voiding of the
injunctions that the appeal will
be heard this week.
