Judge Changes
Mind on County
River Contract

changed his mind between Dec.
and late February. Pierce county
Monday faced the necessity of APP
peaiing a case to the state SUI
preme court to force King county
TO abide by the inter-county river
improvement contract terms.
On Dec. !, Superior Judge
Calvin :. Hall Of the King
county court ruled orally In
favor Of Pierce county. held
that Mud Mountain dam
didn't permanently solve the
problem of floods In the Puy-
allup river, and held King
county commissioners would
have TO meet their 90 per cent
share Of the inter-county river
maintenance cost.
But Monday. the Pierce county
commissioners and G. f. Peterson,
chief civil deputy prosecutor.
were handed Judge Halls latest
decision. a memorandum decision,
in which he now holds that lin
his opinion" a paragraph of the
original inter-eounty contract OF
January. 1914. is unreasonable,
arbitrary and against public pol
icy and therefore void"
The memorandum decision
holds that the s-year-old con-
tract which rode out all years
until last year, Is void ''for II
bars succeeding boards Of
county commissioners from
exercising the discretion which
the law gives them In the
management Of county affairs
and business, to determine the
amount necessary annually
during their term Of office 70
be expended for upkeep," etc.
Peterson said Monday he would
probably try first to obtain a re-
hearing Of the original action. but
il met adversely would appeal to
the supreme court.
He asserted that the main point
of Judge Halls decision was not
even argued. the only argument
centering on whether Mud Noun
tain dam was cure-all for Puy-
allup valley flood dangers. so far
as the excess waters of the White
river are concerned.
The federal dam. not yet en-
tirely complete, h on White
river, which flows into the
Stuck river and thence into the
Puyaliup.
A transcript of Judge Halls
comment on Dec. 7 shows he held
with Pierce county, that there
still would have TO be certain
amount of maintenance, perhaps
always. to keep the Puysllup river
in check. and that King county
would have to abide by the con-
tract requirement of appropriating
go per cent of the estimated an
nusl upkeep cost.
The contract was binding for
90 years. on its own terms.
But In the newest decision,
Judge Hall further ruled Mud
Mountain dam could he con-
sidered 10 have solved the
flood problem and that no fur
ther maintenance costs should
be charged TO King county.
King county commissioners pro-
vided their share Of upkeep cost
up to June Of last year. then
stopped making payments. When
budget time came last fall, they
refused to budget any more funds
for the inter-county work.
When that happened. Pierce
county went TO court.

Phone Lineman
Severely Burned
I'm Saco MiSkap

Charles L. Whelen, lineman en-
ployed by the Mountain States
company, suffered severe burns on
his shoulder and hand while work
ing at Saco Monday afternoon.
Whelen was brought here and is a
patient at the Deaconess hospital.
F. S. Mueller, Glasgow manager
of the Mountain States company,
said complete details of the acct
dent were, not yet available. but
that it appeared that the telephone
line on which Whelen was working
came in contact with a high volt
age wire, energizing the telephone
line and resulting in the burns.
Considering their seriousness, his
condition is good, Mr.. Mueller said
Whelen is a veteran employee of
the company. He and Mrs. Whelen
had made their home here for
about three months and previously
he had been with the company in
Helena and Butte.
