NEED NJ METERS + LINE OUTSIDE
 LIMITS IF C|TY

Consumers of city water who reside
 outside the city limits of Phoenix do
 not need to install meters and pay for | the water at measured rate, but may
 continue to pay the flat rate irf force
 for several years.
 This decision, which is of much in-
 terest to the several hundred people who live outside the city limits of Phoenix and who are consumers of city water, was made on Wednesday by the state corporation commission and set ties matter that has been in con- troversy for more than a year. The particular complaint against the city was filed with the corporation commission on January F, 1917, by D. B. Harrer. The opinion and order in | the case was rendered by Amos A. Betts, member of the commission. MT. Harrer, like many others, lived outside the city limits and had for a long time been consumer of city water at a flat rate. The pipe line from the city limits to his residence had been installed at his own expense. The city, early in 1917, notified these outside consumers that they must in- stall meters at their own expense. HaTer objected, and ou January F, 1917, the pipe line running to his resi- dence was disconnected by the city. He immediately made formal complaint to the corporation commission.
 The city, answering the complaint, insisted that under the constitution of
 the state, municipal corporations were exempt from the Jurisdiction of the corporation commission. The case was heard on March 29> 1917, the commis- sion holding that the city in serving
 water beyond the citiy limits subjected itself to the provisions of the constitu-
 tion and statutes of the state applicable to public service corporations and or dered it to continue service to the com plainant.
 It was urged by the city that under its Home Rule" charter it was author ized to extend its municipal activities outside the city with respect to fur nishing water. The commission ruled | that if the city elected toS carry on
 the business of serving water outside
 the city it must do so as a private corporation. It was stated at the hear ing that at that time there were about
 5,100 consumers of water within the | city and 290 outside.
 l It was the desire of the city, it was stated, 10 cnanSe rom flat rate to
 metrs because residents outside the
 city were Tn many cases using the wa l ter for irrigation purposes, contrary
 to the law, they being out of reach of
 criminal prosecution by the city. It was ordered that, effective on or
 before April 25, 1918. the city of Phoe- l nix shall reinstate the rates, rules and ] regulations in effect for the service of
 water to customers outside the city limits of Phoenix prior to the change
 whereby customers were required to
 install meters at their own expense . necessary to serve them
 It was also ruled that the city violat-
 ed the law in changing rules and reeu-
 lauons Tn effect without authority of
 the corporation commission.

With the ending of the great week of sporting and educational contests at the University of Arizona, Phoenix high school has come off with more cups, medals and scholarships than any other competing Arizona school more in fact than the rest ot the high schools combined.
 As a result of the winning of the track meet by a score of 42 points to the nearest competitor, Gila acad- emy's 26, Phoenix high school has carried away the track cup, the relay cup and the Monte Mansfield cup to the track athlete making the high est amount of points, which proved to be Fritz Griswold, probably the fastest 220 yard runner in the state. Aside from the cups, nearly every member Of tie Coyote track team has brought home a gold, silver or bronze medal, to show for his prowess.
 Tn tennis both the boys and girls championships were won easily by the local school, Bert Baker, representing tho boys, and Ethel Burton, playing for the girls Ethel Burton defeated tho former state champion, Miss Will helmina Rebcil. Last year Chester Goldberg of Phoenix was the state tennis champion.
 In the baseball tournament the Coyotes played into the hands Of the jinx for fair, and lost the first game with Tucson by the score of to 5.
 The typewriting contest this year was easily won by Tommy Woodman of Phoenix. His nearest competitor, wrote only 24 words per minute, and the third competent wrote less than one word per minute when the mis- takes were averaged in.
 Floyd Dodds of the Coyotes won first place in the chemistry compe- tition and James Girand won the physics contest. Clara Chadwick won

first place in the contest of sewing and Martha Bradley carried away second place in the cookery contest In bookkeeping Edwin Wetzler won second place and Allan Elder took second place in the algebra contest In the English competition the Coy otes failed to place, the first place being conceded by the judges to Pat terson of Tucson. The rapid competi- tion contest, in which no Coyote was represented, was won by Maria Smith of Tucson.
 In live stock judging the Coyotes carried away go per cent of the honors. They won three first places out of a possible four and carried away all four second places. The following Phoenix boys were the winners Ed Tappan, second in dairy cattle judging; Claude Camp bell first and Hector Bowen second in judging beef cattle; Con Waggoner first and Garrett Brown second ill judging mutton sheep and Ed Tappan second and Gerald Waggoner first in judging fat hogs.
 Considering the week as whole, Phoenix high school is undoubtedly the winner of the majority of most events and contests. The baseball tournament and the military contest were the only two contests of great importance lost and these were lost by a mere scratch. Tucson high school carried away two cups.
 Coach Geary is very well satisfied with the work of his track squad and feels confident of winning over any organization in the same class that Arizona or any other state can fur nish.
 As for the student contingent, which went with the contestants to see the victory won, it is tickled right down to the ground at the outcome of the busy week of sports.
