Conduit Decision
Up to Judge Stern
Continued from Page Ono

Continued from TaRe oho
the Mayor Is bound to sign the agree
ment.
Judge Stern expressed an interest in
what custom the city had followed in
the matter of granting permits such as
that desired by the Western Union
company. The attorney for the busi
ness men said such permits had been
granted freely in the past, but that the
question now is whether the city Is to
continue doing so.
In the Mayor : answer il Is contended
that a large volume of business will be
interfered with and prevented by the
conduit work. He points out that
Chestnut street in the areas affected is
the principal business street Of the city.
The work will interfere with business,
he says, for n period that will extend
into the most active business months
OF the year.
The privileges accorded by the or.
dinance. says the answer. 'are Of
great value to the plaintiff and a fail
ire TO receive any consideration for
rhem will entail much damage and loss
10 the city. the taxpayers and the Citi-
zcns generally, and especially to those
! owning property or doing business in
tho said street.
In reference TO this failure to com.
pensate the city, the Mayor directed at
tentiOn 70 the fact that Council has had
before it for more than year an or.
dnance providing for such colnpensa. =.
tion in all similar cases.
He then asserts that his failure to
sign the agreement made the permit
issued by the Bureau of Highways, null
and void. and calls attention to the bill
for an injunction asked by the Chestnut
street business men preventing the sign
ing of the permit.
The court then was asked to decide
the conflicting points Of the mandAmus
and injunction suits.

ASSERTS COLORADO
RIVER Commission
IS CLOSE To GOAL

The Colorado river commission
which recently under the leadership
Of Herbert Hoover. secretary OF COM
merce and chairman of the commits
sion. held series of western hear
ings in six of the seven states OF
the Colorado river basin, is closer TO
arriving at a compact than at the
beginning of the hearings in Phoenix
on March 10. in the opinion Of w. 5.
Norviel, state water commissioner
and Arizona's member of the COM
mission, who returned yesterday from
Cheyenne, Wyo., Where the commits
sion closed the hearings on April 2.
The hearings, Mr.. Norviel said,
were of infinite value to the mem
bers of the commission for through
them the commissioners received the
opinions and plans of people In every
state who were interested IN the
problems Of the river, and the rights
OF the several states to the waters OF
the river. Many of the plans, ne
declared. as presented 10 the conlHlls-
sion were urfeasible but numbers OF
them contain excellent ideas that viii
enable the commission to arrive at
compact for the adjudication OF the
rights.
When the commission adjourned,
Mr.. Norviel said, it was with the
understanding that they should meet
again either in July or August al
some point in the basin TO arrive at
a decision regarding the problem ana
to work out a simple compact tndt
would be acceptable to all OF the
seven states. Since the commission
| adjourned. Secretary Hoover has an
nounced that the next meeting ol
! ~. .~..~. -, s.-;1,, xx-fiI take piSre some

| time ascertain If possible the desire
| of the people OF their particular state
| in the matter.
| The transcripts OF the meetings are
/ TO be written UP by the several courl
! reporters who took the testimony q!
] the hearings. This, he stated, viii

| which the copies OF the hearing ~
| each state are to be sent to the COM
missioner representing that state
| This commissioner in turn VIII send
| the copy Of the address made before
| the commission to the man who ue-
! livered the address tnai ne thdy mo-
corrections in his address.
After this has been done, Mr.; NOT

to washington where large numpei
Of copies will be made ana returnse ne.
to each of the commissioners. ,s ns

j Within q very short time, Mr.. Nor
viel said. it is his desire to meet seV-
eral times with those interested II
the problems of the river so that ~
NAV learn their opinions as to tht
settlement OF the problem. Through
these meetings. he hopes to obtain ar
idea as to what rights the people @
Arizona will claim and what rights
