10 rt Had Enfo To Act in Good Conscience The injunction brought it: Henry County Circuit Court by the Williams Hock Mining Conijmny, occasioned by the granting of King Bill road project contract? in Fairview and Deer Creek Township, to higher bidders by a majority of the Henry County Court, was denied Saturday noon by Judge Phil M. Cook, Lexington, of the 13th Judicial Circuit. Judge Cook, named to hear the case on a change of venue motion filed by tha plaintiff rock company, said he based his decision on three counts: 1. Should the court grant the injunction, there could result a substantial injury to the taxpayer. He agreed that the "lowest and best bidder," policy should be protected, but the sums of $5.50 and $18.40, the differences in the case, were trivial.

2. The comparative Injury doe-trine recognized by the eourt, weighing damages to the taxpayers with the inconvenience of no roads for several months, offers no real also the belief that the damage would be a graat deal more than the amount involved. 3. The discrimination of tha court Was the court's third basis. He said: "It is simply whether or not the County Court had suf.

cient information to use and exercise reasonable discretions in accepting the higher bids." He said the court was of the opinion that the County Court had sufficient information to rule in good conscience, coupled with the small amount of difference involved, so he wasn't in the position to say they were at fault in accepting bids representing differences of only $5.50 and $18.40.
