Lehi is one of the cities. The state tax commission filed an action Friday In the Fourth district court at Provo, Pro-vo, the city of Lehi, which owns, its own electric plant, being the defendant de-fendant The commission is preparing similar sim-ilar actions against twenty other cities. It was reported at the office of the commission that only three or four municipillties in the state have so far collected or at least paid the tax- The bill against Lehi, according to the complaint filed in the Fourth district court had reached the total of $280 08 by June 1 last, the law going into effect in its present shape last August.
