Arizona utility rate fight to go to court
Wilson T. Wright said the Arizona corporation commission will press its bid for funds to establish a utility rate division in court after Maricopa County Judge Thalheimer denied three funding sources. The judge ruled the commission cannot spend 50 000 from a federal power investigation appropriation, cannot draw on the general fund without legislative approval, and cannot use income tax revenue until legislature appropriates it. Gov Osborn vetoed the bill that would have assigned that revenue to the agency.

Flood Control Progress Seen in Tucson Projects
City Manager Phil J. Martin Jr reports slow but favorable progress on two federal flood control efforts vital to Tucson. He testified before a senate subcommittee on water needs for the Tucson Tombstone area and outlined plans for the Charleston dam and a seven mile flood control dike and channel. He said Tucson seeks 12 000 acre feet annually from Charleston to bolster future water supplies and noted the underground reservoir could serve 200 000 people, potentially curbing irrigation. The hearing included about 30 witnesses amid competition for Colorado river surplus water. Senator Downey of California was defeated in a bid to recess the hearing. Arizona Senator E W McFarland supported continuing the hearing, and the seven mile dike project was described as becoming a house document on record in the House.
