May 13, 1921 The Michigan Supreme Court has adopted verbatim as its own the opinion handed down by Judge Fred S. Lamb of this city on the constitutionality of the Covert Road Act. The case was argued at Lansing on March 30, last, and the decision is contained in the Northwestern Reporter for May 6, which just has arrived in this city. Judge Lamb, who is known among his associates on the bench as one of the hardest working and most conscientious jurists in the state, is frequently assigned to important cases by the presiding circuit judge of the state. Probably no other circuit judge in the state gets in as many weeks of work outside his own circuit as does Judge Lamb of Cadillac and yet the dockets in all his own counties are kept as clear as possible. In Detroit, particularly, Judge Lamb sits frequently, and the busy Wayne County circuit is a test, many upstate judges failing to stand the pace there. During the recent illness of Judge Tucker of Macomb County, the Cadillac jurist was at Mt. Clemens often and he has sat in Pontiac quite frequently since the illness of the late Judge Rockwell. Recently Judge Lamb was called to Grand Rapids to handle the case brought by Mayor Mundy of Bay City against Judge McDonald of Kent County, in which the attorney general's department won its motion for dismissal which decision, however, has been appealed. Judge Lamb now, by a coincidence is sitting in Pontiac, the home of the author of the Covert act, and the bench from which the decision in question was given. In his decision Judge Lamb held that the Covert Road Act, one of the important pieces of Michigan legislation which never before had been put to the test of the courts, was constitutional and workable. He issued a decree dismissing the complaint and in his opinion exhaustively went into the many points of law involved in the case, which somewhat paralleled the state drain law providing assessment districts for sewer improvement as the Covert act does for road improvements.
