"If the wind had gotten in the right direction, we might have had to evacuate some people, but that never happened," he said. today, territory in question is not suitable for municipal use. It states the sole reason for annexation is to make it subject to city taxes, thus raising city revenues. Arkla also alleges Waskom "is not physically or financially in a position to furnish the city services which would be required" at the plant site.

Davis said his clients believe the Waskom play "is discriminatory because it arbitrarily purposely excludes persons and properties which would otherwise be subject to city taxa- tion." A hearing on the temporary annexation termination has not been set, but -should be soon, Davis said. The Arkla plant is south of Interstate 20 on Farm-to-Market Road 9. thage said the first petition had to be abandoned because of "obvious defects." Davis said the second suit basically is asks for a temporary order by District Judge Ben Z. Grant to hit annexation by Waskom. He said such an order was handed down by the judge on the first petition.

In the second suit, Arkla alleges the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. has filed a suit seeking termination of a second petition to annex the company's plant into the city limits. The suit, filed recently in the Harrison County District Clerk's office, is the second of its kind against the city of Waskom by the gas company in recent ninths. Arkla's attorney T.G.
