By State Taxes

drew Bettwy, now mayor OF lVoga1-
es, launched a newspaper mere, he
threatened to test the constitution
atty of the Nogales ordinance but
never did so, owing to the short life
of his paper. Bettwy, according to
the decision in the Phoenix case,
would have won out.
There are reports that Nogales
business men, having learned about
the death of the Phoenix occupa-
tional tax, will refuse hereafter to
pay the city license tax and will
take steps shortly to have Ordln-
ance No. 65-A declared void.
A. Omitted Press dispatch telling
of the outcome of the occupational
tax at Phoenix reads as follows:
Phoenix bitterly-fought occupa-
tional tax, designed to raise $4,000
in annual revenues, today had been
branded unconstitutional by Super
ior Judge Howard G. Speakman,
who also granted an injunction per-
manently restraining its enforce
ment.
"It was expected the city would
appeal the decision Immediately to
the state supreme court.
Judge Speakman's ruling was in
a lawsuit filed against the city by
Alice Richardson, Phoenix business
woman. She alleged THE TAXA
TION FIELD INTENDED TO BE
COVERED BY THE OCCUPATION
AL TAX ALREADY WAS OCCU-
PIED BY STATE TAXES, and that
the city's proposed tax was uncon'
stitutional.

would have levied tax or license
fee upon every form of business or
profession for the privilege of op-
Grating in the city, was subject for
bitter condemnation and resent

$4,000 SOUGHT
TO CUT WEEDS

Mayor Andrew Bettwy wants the
city to borrow $4,000 for the pur-
pose of putting men to work cutting
weeds.
The mayor informed the board of
aldermen that the local bank has
agreed to loan the city $4,000 to be
paid back by placing the item in
next years budget.
One alderman appears to be
against the idea and said that the
fire department could burn weeds as
has been done in former years.
1t is expected that the matter
will come up again at the next
meeting of the city dads on Monday
October 7.

bering less than two thousand peo-
pie raised by popular subscription
ten thousand dollars to construct a
wagon road brom Nogales to Orc
Blanco. When built it took a good
team and a strong wagon to travel
it and each rainy season found it
impossible. Nevertheless, it was the
start of efforts to reach the western
section of the county to bring trade
from the mineral districts to No
gales, v.H!>ich efforts are continuing
to this day.

answer to questions whether short
road would be built, Col. Bird told
them that the money is in hand
and such a road will be built as a
part of the system projected under
the $150,000 bond issue. 1t did not
turn out that way. A great deal OF
controversy arose concerning the
building of a road when the eX-
penditure of the bond issue money
