Difference Develops, on Inclusion
of Properties Finished but
Not in Use June 30.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) With agreement between at
torneys and -with the department
understanding- that further valua
tion matters not covered here may
be brought up In the first hearing
on rates of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company, proceedings In
the valuation hearings which opened
here Monday were rushed to a close
this afternoon to permit telephone
company officials and others who
had come some distance to reach
their homes before Christmas.
Today's proceedings included the
introduction o exhibits prepared by
special engineers and acountants
employed by the cities of Seattle
and Spokane and the concluding
valuation exhibits of the depart
ment's engineering and acounting
forces and examination of the men
who prepared them. In every re
spect as to basic figures the city
and department exhibits were simi-
lar to those prepared by the com
pany engineers, the largest dis
crepancy noted In the entire state
being only 24 cents.
The point of difference between
important department and city ex
hibits and those of the company
was upon Inclusion of new prop
erties completed but not in. use on
June 30, 1922, the date upon which
all exhibits wre based. Department
engineers and city engineers and
accountants agreed that a large por
tion of the new office building in
Seattle, several new exchanges In
that city, the new machine switch
ing equipment and other property
not in actual use should be excluded
from the rate base as of that date.

hibited in Idaho.

Japanese Forfeits Land.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) Despite introduction of an
unrecorded deed purporting . to
transfer property in Pasco occu
pied by the laundry of B. Shokuta, a
Japanese, to the Buddhist Mission
society, the property must be for
feited to the state under the con
stitutional provision prohibiting the
holding of land by aliens, according
to a decision of Judge John Truax
of Franklin county, a copy of which
was received today by Assistant Attorney-General
