NAY BRING ACTION AGAINST STATE ON
 LYMAN DAM MAT TER

Injunction proceedings will be brought against the state loan board as the result of the board yesterday morning sanctioning the recommends ton of the Lyman Water company in accepting the bid of Johnson and Parks for the completion of the Lyman dam.
 The Johnson and Parks bid was S174,500 less s7,500 for supplies and s10O0O for the purchase of machinery, against the bid of $161.920, less S. .000 for supplies, by R. k. Shea, who it is understood, will bring the action. against the board on the ground that the accepted bid was not regular He will be joined in the suit, it is said, by a number of land owners and tax payers of the St. Johns district, who will attempt to enjoin the state from making the loan.
 According to rumor, the action taken by the loan board yesterday may lead to more startling charges being made against men high in public affairs than have developed through the hear | ing of the state land board It is known that Gov. Thomas F. l Campbell voted against the accept anee of the Johnson and Parks bid, while the two other members of the 1 board, Nit Simms, secretary of state and H. $. Ross, state treasurer, voted | for it.
 1 Up to the present time the state has loaned $225.000 for the construction of the dam, and if the new loan is made | it would be at the rate of something l over $40 an acre.
 The state after making continual
 loans called Thomas Maddock, state
 engineer. in consultation and on his
 advice, it is said refused to make 1 further loans to Patton and Church 1 Of Denver, who had been engaged in
 the construction work, and advertised | for bids from contractors. The bids
 were opened on April 12, there being 1 three bidders. Johnson and Parks bid- ding $1T4,500; R. E. Shea $16S,o ,o00. and | T. K Udall and associates $151,7S0. The latter bid was accepted and Udall | given 10 days in which to give bond. He failed to furnish the bond and the time was extended from time to time. In the meantime MT. Patton arrived from Denver and brought to the at tention of the loan board that it was
 without jurisdiction in accepting bids,
 which should be presented to the Ly-
 man Water company and not the
 board. The board then rejected all
 former bids and re-advertised. point
 ed out that a satisfactory surety !
Arizona republican., 1920-05-20

bond would be required of the con- tractor to whom the award was made
 It stated particularly that no bid would be considered unless it was ac
 companied by a statement from 9 bonding company that t would write the bond. The Shea bond was accom- panied by a statement from the Unit ed States Fidelity and Denosit com pany that the bond would be furnished immediately. It was also accompa- nied by a S9.500 certified check. The Johnson and Parks bid was accom- panied by a letter from the Central Finance company to the effect that it
Arizona republican., 1920-05-20

would go on the bond provided that indemnity would be supplied.
 Objection to the provision is made by Shea. who further claims that in it's advertised bid no mention was made of the company's machinery and equipment which in a suppiement to their bid Johnson and Parks agree to purchase for S1O,000. The state has no right to purchase the machinery in ac- cordance with the advertised bid. says Shea, who proposes with Udall and others to take the matter into the courts. On the ground that the bid
