RIGHT OF WAY CONTRIBUTOR
MUST PAY THEIR SHARE

Judge Hut rendered a decision
yesterday sustaining the claim of the
right of way committee of Covina
against the Ruddock company, which
contributed to the right of way fund
by giving as it's share two notes. one
for $3097.75 and the other for $2377.50.
These notes were assigned to the First
National bank of Covina for collection.
The Ruddock company declared it
was under the impression that the
Pacific Electric company was to build
the proposed extension. When officials
learned that it was line of the Los
Angeles Interurban which was built to
Covina they resisted collection of the
notes.
In the decision the court ruled that
this difference existed only in name.
