Amended Petition Filed On Highway Claim Payments
An attorney for 39 former county road workers filed an amended petition in district court Tuesday against the board of county commissioners seeking payment of highway claims. Plaintiffs include J. E. Campbell, Gan Lanier, Bray, Bill Condren, John Brumley, J. Knight, EJ. Smith, Lee Carney, EL Phillips, Fred Foster, W. D. Everest, W. J. Turner, and W. M. Blankenship. The suit notes that during fiscal 1937 38 they worked on highways for monthly costs, claims were filed monthly, but on February 13 1939 the board denied claims held by the plaintiffs. The highway fund at the time lacked an ad valorem levy and relied on other revenue and supplements. Total claims by the 29 plaintiffs amount to 3205.25.

Two More Out Of School On Salute
Phoenix April 19 two more out of school children were expelled from a Maricopa county grade school for refusing to salute the flag on religious grounds.
