CORPORATION
WINS COURT VICTORY
Judge Marshall Decides That
Property Was Built Before
Reserve Was Made.

The Utah Light G. Power company
won signal victory in the United
States court in this city yesterday,
when Judge John A. Marshall rendered
his decision in actions brought against
the bio electric corporation by the
government.
The governments s bill coutcndcd that
the power company did not have the
right to establish and maintain certain
pipe lines, fumes, reservoirs, tramways,
conduits, telephone or transmission lines
upon national forest reserves without
first complying with the rules and rcgu-
lntons Of the government respecting
the matter of obtaining permit,
The company contended that 1t had
| obtained its rights under section 1883,
revised statutes Of the United States,
which was enacted in the 6Os for
the benefit of mining companies, and
giving the right to establish various ae-
cessorles to mining, milling, etc,
Judge Marshall held in the matter
Of the complaint against the company
4! OH the Cache forest, affecting the pant
in Cache county, that the tlume and
reservoir had been established prior TO
the proc clamatiou of the government
establi shing the forest reserve. and that
the company had right TO maintain
them. Consequently the government S
bill as to the Cache forest was dis
missed. ,
AS to that portion of the bill re-
llatinu to the Wasatch forest, 1T was
dismissed in part and sustained IN part
but, owing to the conditions, the power
company views Judge Marshall $ acrior
as a victory for the corporation. IL
was held as to the Wasatch forest tna'
a certain conduit pressure pipe line
was established before the proclamation
establishing the forest reserve, anc
that the company consequently had The
ripht TO maintain them. but as to the
telephone and transmj ssion lines, tram
way and building, it was held that thu
company did not have right to main
tain them without PERMISSION from tn
government.
1t was discovered after the decision
had been rendered, however, that th
company will only be slightly affected
by this adverse decision, as there is M
transmission line upon tho reserve, onl,
one quarter of milo Of tramway, ;
short telephone line and shack.
IT is understood that the compan,
\ Will Immediately comply with the spiri
Of Judge Marshall's decision and appl,
: to the government for the Necessary
permit 1t is not anticipated that an.
trouble will be experienced in obtain
ing the permit.
In the case Of the United State
/ gainst the Beaver River Power com
| pany of Beaver county, the governmen
. won sweeping victory, The cour
held that ali Of the company s. pip
lines, etc, were placed upon, a fores
reserve after the reserve had bee
established by proclamation, and tha
} the company had no right to maintai
them without a permit from the gov
[ eminent. The company will now hav
e to remove its property from the reserv
, or secure permit from the governmen
y 10 maintain it. The company, 1T !
. understood, will at once apply for tn

FIGURE NEED OF

Board Of Equalization to Make
Study Of Way to Meet
Appropriations.

To determine whether OF not II will be
necessary TO raise the state tax levy In
order to provide sufficient revenue 10
take care OF the appropriation bill passed
by the last Legislature the state board
OF equaliza ton met with Governor Spry
yesterday afternoon. The appropriation
bill was gone over in preliminary man
ner and IL was decided that n thorough
study Of the question would be necessary
before the tax levy could be fixed 10!
the year.
II Is probable that an increase OF half a
mill will have to be made. Figuring the
assessed valuation OF property In the
state Mt 5000 900. 900. and assessing a,
the present rate OF mills. the total
revenue would fall about $3.50. 900 short
OF the needed amount 20 meet the re-
quirements OF the appropriation bill.
How to distribute this extra amoun,
among the various counties In a manner
that all classes OF property will be taxed
equally Is the problem confronting the
board OF equalization. A possible solu.
ton OF the problem may be found In an
increase OF the assessed valuation stu
dents or the subject believe that the
valuation VIII increase 20 s22O 900. 600 IN
the next two years and n this proves
true considerable additional revenue
though hardly enough 10 meet the de-
felt, could be raised.
