Telephone Co. Suit
Involves Total Of
S1q7,@4 in Taxes

The Southern California Tele-
phone company Friday sued I'M
perlal county and six cities for
S3O'645 which brought to a grand
total of S197,284 the amount the
company contends it paid in over
assessments of property in Imperial
county in the last i've years.
Similar suits were filed annually
for five years in every county in
the state. The company alleged the
state board of equalization acted
arbitrarily in valuing company
property in comparison with other
property of a similar character.
The Los Angeles county and city
cases now are before the supreme
court of California and all other
telephone company cases against
counties and cities were held-up
pending settlement of the Los An
geles cases.
Total sums asked by the COM
pany were $l59,0l2 against Imperial
county; $22,560 against El Centro;
1924 against wiley; $5.20l
against Calexico; s2,503 against
Imperial; sl,292 against Calipatria;
and 1,449 against Holtville.

mentS in Holtville's Battle of the
Dance.
A mixed audience that filled

would be permitted i'll the cafeteria
:. if sponsored by an organized
adult group of Holtville and super
gised by that group and assisted by
parents, volunt -er members of the
faculty and officials of the student
body"
Two delegations appeared before
the school boards special meeting
one led by members Of the Junior
Womens club of Holtville and an
other by the NaZarene, Christian
and Baptist church ministers.
OTHER PARTISANS
Also on the junior women's side
was a representative of the Amer
ican Legion and bolstering the anti
dance clique was a WCTU repre-
sentative
Mrs. Claiborne Johnson led off
for the junior women in the first
Of a dozen brief talks. She urged
supervised dancing in the schools
as a means of keeping young folk
at home rather than forcing them
to go to Mexicali for. amusement.
She quoted county probation au-
thorities as recommending super
vised dancing as factor in reduce
ing juvenile delinquency and re-
ported that neighbors in the school
vicinity had no objections.
The Rev. Mr.. Carlton Buck was
first speaker for the opposition and
explained:
There is nothing personal about
my conviction . To me the dance
is a moral issue and the high school
is an educational, not a recreational
institution
