- The Michigan legislature created, under Act 15 of the extra session of 1919, a commission "to investigate the disputed boundary line between the states of Wisconsin and Michigan." This initial authorization was amended under Act 276 of 1921 and Act 30 of the special session of 1921, wherein the Attorney General was given permission "to take all legal steps necessary to fully establish the permanent boundary line between said states, and to this end he may institute and prosecute and legal or court proceedings necessary in the establishment of such boundary line." Taking advantage of his mandate, the Attorney General brought suit to change the border. The case of the State of Michigan v. State of Wisconsin went through the U.S. Supreme Court as original docket 25 in the October term of 1923, original docket 21 in the Oct. term of 1924, original docket 19 in the Oct. term of 1925, and original docket 9 of the term of Oct. 1926. The decision in this case was entered in favor of Wisconsin on Nov. 22, 1926. Summaries of the order and decree can be found in United States reports, vol. 270, page 295; Lawyers edition, vol. 70, page 596; and the Supreme Court reporter, vol. 46, page 290.
