(Special) Seeking to force the county commission to change its road-building plans in the Lakeland Highlands, two women citrus growers today brought suit for injunction against the county and the State Road Department. Zelie P. Emerson and Bessie Bruce charged that drainage plans for State Road 540, west ward from Highland City, would collect all rainfall from the slope of a nearby hill and de posit the water in one of the lower portions' of their grove.

"Unhealthy Condition" They charged this would cre ate "a stagnant, nauseous and unhealthy condition, thereby breeding mosquitoes and in other ways jeopardizing the health of the petitioners, who live adjacent to said road." The highway also is known as Clubhouse Drive. The plaintiffs said their grove is in good condition except where the county has allowed water to overflow its drain age ditches along the west side of said property and wash away the topsoil and damage the roots of the trees." See "Great Harm" Surplus water accumulating under the proposed road plans "will greatly harm, if not almost wholly destroy, said prop erty," they alleged. The complaint notes the county has started eminent do main proceedings "to take a small oblong piece of land" on which the water would accumulate, but this would be "only a gesture in the protection of the property of the plaintiffs." Unless a permanent injunction is issued, they contended, their damages will be "irreparable" and injuries to their property "will not be Compensable."
