Additional enrollment would create the necessity for more double session classes, he said. Specifications for the new school on Walnut St. will be published next Thursday, he said, and contractors will have three weeks to make bids, which will be opened May 6. Crist said that the steel construction of the building allows for rapid erection of the plant, according to the architect, but that If the school is not ready for use- by the beginning of the new school term, double sessions are being planned for first, second and third grades. 1 4 COVINA First shot in a threatened legal battle against the city was fired this week by Attorney Charles Hackler, on behalf of his clients, Martin L.

Ito-elle and Michael T. Rafferty, who claims that the city illegally annexed Vincent Ave. property in 1951. Hackler filed papers with the state attorney general seeking a court trial to test the annexation. The city has 15 days to file a written answer showing cause why the complainants should not sue.

The present action grew out of a fight developing between the city and residents of the Vincent area over westerly annexation District 15, a proposed commercial and light industrial development. The city had sought to annex a portion' of land on both sides of San Bernardino bounded roughly by Vincent the San Dimas Wash, the S. P. tracks and the westerly ex-tension of Badillo St. Residents of adjoining county territory raised strenuous objections on the grounds that industry would be obnoxious and hazardous and that the city limits which the property would adjoin are contiguous to Covina only thru the shoestring annexation of Westerly Annexation District 6.

WAD 6, the annexation being attacked in the new action, was brought into the city in 1951 by the means of a 33-foot strip along the S.P. right of way extending 4,000 feet to the site of the old packinghouse. In 1951, after annexation pro ceedings had started, California statutes were changed to prohibit annexations of parcels less than 200 feet wide if they were more than 300 feet' long. The annexation proceedings, Roelle and Rafferty claim, were completed after ethe statute had been passed. At this weeks Council meeting another piece, Westerly Annexation 16, an shaped piece lying between Larx Ellen and Vincent and bounded by the P.

Railroad on the north and Cypress on' the south 1 with some frontage on Vincent was proposed for annexation by the city at the request of owners Lillian Ault, Dale Wendell and Mrs. Virginia Hostetler. Opposing attorney Hackler objected on the grounds that the legality of the annexation would depend on the decision in the "quo warrento (by what authority) suit he is bringing against the city. City attorney A. G.

Shelton advised the council that the most they could lose thru the new action being nullified would be the cost of advertising and the notice of public hearing. Councilman Ja'mes Byrne said that he saw no urgency in holding the public hearing and asked that it be held off pending the decision by the attorney general. Councilman Karl Ponsy said he felt that passage of the resolution would be an indication of faith in its validity. The resolution was passed with Byrne registering the only dissenting vote.
