Suit challenges Pima emergency budget boost in 1957 58
A lawsuit filed in Superior Court challenges the Arizona Tax Commission approval of a 200000 emergency expenditure by the Pima County Board of Supervisors. The petition seeks certiorari to review records and halt related outlays while the case proceeds. The petition notes lack of supporting evidence at the May hearing and alleges available funds elsewhere render the increase improper. It cites anticipated 1958 59 property tax impact and cites statements by County Engineer Burg about unused highway funds.

Mistrial in statutory rape case ends in deadlock
A Superior Court jury failed to reach a verdict in the statutory rape case against Carroll L. Oldham 51 of 4475 E Bermuda St after nearly eight hours. Foreman Joseph Fite reported a 6 to 6 deadlock. Judge Robert S. Tullar declared mistrial and dismissed the jury. Oldham remains free on 1500 bond. The case was originally reduced to contributing to delinquency of a minor, with a possible sentence of up to one year for that count and five years to life for statutory rape.
