Citys Rights Secure Attack on Power Plant Purchase
Testimony in the Connors versus city case before Court Commissioner Deming questions the political motives of the suit to set aside the electric light and waterworks plant purchase.

The complainants’ case showed weak, unsubstantiated fraud claims, though the constitutionality of city mortgaged plant purchases may be sustained.
