1973After a careful analysis of many federal and state decisions, as well as a close look at the facts of the particular case, the Court in Curtis determined at 104 Cal.Rptr. at 310 , at 501 P.2d at 550 that: “[N]o compelling state interest requires that nonlandowners be excluded from the group empowered to decide whether an election to incorporate a city be called, and no compelling interest is served by allocating power within that group on the basis of assessed value of land.” Although the California Supreme Court did not have the benefit of Salyer, supra, and Associated Enterprises, supra, at
