LOSING END Of
POWER PROTEST

Ordering a dismissal of the COM
plant Of the trustees of the city of
Calipatria, Imperial county, against
the Holton Power company, the rail
read commission today found that the
company was following the rules of
tire commission in connection with the
making Of extensions and that it must
deny the request of the city officials
for compelling the power company to
make service extensions on more fav-
orable terms than now prevail. The
city's request that the utility be COM
Fe!!ed to supply certain consumers
without payment of extension ad-
vance deposits is denied b. the COM
mission on the ground that such an
older would result in discrimination.
and the commission points out, in an
swer to another part of the city's COM
plant, that the utility has been COM
PEELED to obtain approval from the
commission before proceeding with
extension construction or requiring a
dcncSit.
The city officials based their COM
plant on a contract between the power
Company and the Imperial Valley
Farm Lands Association covering ex-
tensions. The rules of the commits

been operating, are different in manv
