M. McCrea, it was announced Saturday according to the Tribune. Judge McCrea was recently appointed by Governor George H. 1 Dern, at the request of the parties to the litigation, as the judge to complete the hearings in this suit. One phase of the suit was heard a couple of years ago before Judge ; Elias Hansen, who is now a member of the state supreme court, but his elevation to the supreme bench made it necessary to obtain another judge to proceed with the hearings. In regard to the claims regarding which Judge McCrea issued the order referred to, it was explained at the office of George M. Bacon, state engineer, en-gineer, Saturday, that under the pro-1 visions of the law and notices given j heretofore all claims had to be filed j by January 2, 1926. All claims so filed are included in the state engi-1 neer's proposed determination, it was stated. The law also provide that the court may, in its discretion, allow claims to be filed after this date, Mr. I Bacon said, but it is obivious that other interested parties will have no ' knowledge pi these claims except by a successive examination of the files of the clerk of the court. The state j engineer pointed out that, as other I parties in interest should be advised I of this matter, the publication of the fact of the claims having been filed, with a rough outline of their substance, sub-stance, will clear up this point. Judge McCrea also included in his order a provision that no further laims shall be filed in this action after January 31, 1928. |
