Yakima Power
Suit Sent Back

OLYMPIA-The supreme court
onday sent back TO Yakima
county superior court for retrih
a suit In which Washington Fruit
4 Produce Co. and Is other Yak
ina business firms tried TO prevent
the city from signing a io-year
street lighting contract with Pa
cific Power q Light Co.
The business firms. acting ~
taxpayers. said they did not want
the city tied up for So long .
period. with Coulee and Bonneville
power soon to be available. They
contended the contract signed on
June 8, 1888, was void for three
reasons:
ID II was q franchise and had to
be voted on by the people. t2D The
city commission should have adj
vertised for bids on the contract,
and (3) the contract Was for an
unreasonable length of time.
Although II reversed the lower
court on the case as a whole. the
supreme court sustained Its ind
ings in the first two reasons. II
sent the case back for retrial be-
cause the earlier hearing failed to
bring before the court facts about
how soon Bonneville or Coulee
power would be available and other
pertinent data, which could be
used TO decide whether the 1o-year
contract was for too long a time
and would prevent Yakima from
benefiting from cheaper public
power.
