ownership having passed from w L.

all real estate owned by Mr. CarWlle

road was given bonding credit, about
a year ago, of 100000, by the state
commission, with an allowance for an
increase if desired.
As will he seen by the list OF dlfec-
tors and officers, most OF the Vendees
are Reeves county people What is re-
sarded as. a significant fact by many
IS that c. c. MOuntcaSte, of Fort

owners Of the stock Of the MountcaSIle
Irrigation company holding the Griffin
orchard and farm at the southern Ter
minus of the road, as well as other
property running into the ndnoreuS OF
thousands Of dollars IN value.
Thus some have pointed out thaI II
would be difficult to get the road IN
safer hands financially speaking,
short of a sale to one of the national
lines. since the millions Of Joe Rosen-
baum are behind the MontcaStle pro-

SUES COMMISSION TO
GET ORDER SET ASIDE
Tucson Gas, Electric Light and Power
Company Claims Ruling is Dis
crLminafOrE and COnfiscafOrE.


Phoenix. Ariz-, Sept I2.-Suit has
been filed in the superior court Of
MaricOpa county for the Tucson Gas,
Electric Light and Power company
against the state corporation commits
sion. The company seeks to have the
recent rate order of the commission,
which went into effect September l,
set aside on the ground that the rates
fixed thereby are illegal, unScientific,
framed upon an erroneous theory, dis
criminatOry and cOnfiscatOry."
Allegation is made that the order
will cause the company 10 lose large
contracts because it prevents a proper
sliding scale to large consumers. An
other point made is that there is no
differentiation between residence and
business lighting, though il costs more
prOpOruOnately to serve q residence
than a business house.
One of the contracts which the com
pany claims it will lose is that with the
Pima Land and Water company, bet
ter known as the Tucson Farms COM
pany. Under the new rate scale fixed
by the commission the light company
must increase its charge to the land
company $1,000 a year. 1t. is declared
that the company will repudiate the
contract, thus entailing a gross loss Of
$4,000 year to the plaintiff
