Harrer versus the city of Phoenix. in which the com plainant seeks protection against being required by the city of Phoenix 10 pay for use of water meter outside of the corporate limits
 The Harrer case has attracted wide attention throughout the city and sur rounding territory inasmuch as it di- recty affects several hundred users of city water who reside outside Of the corporate limits
 l. is the contention of Mir. Harrer that he should not be required to pay for use of a water meter any more than city users are required to do. The city however. contends that as his property is located outside the limits he should be obliged to pay a rate in excess of that charged other users
 NIT. Harrer further contends that in- solar as furnishing water to property owners outside or the corporate limits IS concerned. the city Of Phoenix is pabiie utilities and ther96Pre is tnder tho Jurisdiction of the cor Fbration com mission

FORMER CH|EF STILL CLINICS
 TO STATIONERY

That former Governor George w. P Hunt and his secretary Leroy Ladd are practicine deception by the use of stationery from governors office in an effort to retain the governorship office of Arizona is evidenced by a number of letters that have recently fallen into the hands of supporters of Governor Campbell. These acts are regarded as breaches of ethics. but do not constitute a crime
 From facts in the hands of those who uncovered the deception, it is apparent that when Messrs. Hunt and Ladd were forced to vacate the governors office at the capitol. as a result 0f the su preme court decision. they decided to take a large quantity of stationery used by them in that office The letter heads were the official stationery of former Governor Hunt during his two terms and bore his name as governor and that of Leroy Ladd as his secre- tary.
 That they have been using this sta ionery in carrying on correspondence since leaving the state house is proven conclusively by a letter written Febru- ary r. 1917, and addressed to C. r. Cole of Miami This letter although bearing no signature was presumably dictated by Nr. Hunt to hls secretary Mir Ladd, who neglected 70 affix his signature
 The letter dealt with $500 bonus which MT Cole was to receive from the state for the drilling of q well at Franklin. in Greenlee county.
 The first letter. written earlier in February. was addressed to C. H. Allen. al Bisbee Ariz.. and acknowl- edged the receipt of s2 which Mr. Allen had donated to the Hunt contest fund
 In the letter 10 Mir Cole. Mir Hunt stated that while he was temporarily out of office. he was powerless to take action but would see that the matter was strengthened out to the satisfac- ton of all as soon as he regained the office
