The sum of $96.41?.3 was poll this city' of Dallas yesterday by the outh- I western Telegraph and Telephone Coinpany, in the forio of a check to SMayor = Joe L. Lawther, Thle payment is in settlement of a tax suitagainst this company which has been pending in the csurts since 1913. In February, 1913, the city passed an ordinance which provided a tax of $2 a pole and 25c it mile on the underground wire property of the telephone and tslegraph companies. The cse was tried and the jury found that the pole' charge was reasonable, but in its jldgment the wird charge was unreasonable. The case attracted much at' tention and'.interest, as several Federal questions were involved. It was to come up before the Supreme Court at its October term this year, having ben set for today. Settlement was brought about in connection with the recent merger considerations and granting' of the franchise to the Dallas Telephone Company. It was the disposition of th0 telephone company to test the case out, but In consderatlon of ultimate consolidation of the.local telephone companies it was deemed good business to permanently dispose Of It. In the-"settleme'lt the company pays.all costs in the lower and Supreme Courts. "Under settlement with the city the original judgment was paid in full (1913) with Interest to date and for each succeeding year The ease was settled on the basis of pole charge, which was found reasonable in the first trial. -"Lend As They Fight"-a-- WOMEN DOING EXCELLENT WORK IN LOAN DRIVE.
