A LOSING PROPOSITION Company SeU I-'oi-th That lAi-go Sums Have IUhmi Invested So I'rotit CiiniinisHUtii to l-'ix Heiiring; Date. According to Information received al thy city recorder's office this morn ing, the Oregon Ga8 & Klectrlc Com pany, with branches at Hoaeburg, Talent, Ashland, Phoenix. Medford and Grants Pass, have tiled an appli cation of authority with tho public service commission at Salem to In crease the present rates for gas, used for cooking, lighting and heating purposes, and in turn the public service, commstslon has served no tice on City Recorder Whipple, In. the form of a copy of the applica tion specifying therein that the mat ter will he set for henrlng and that notice of time and place of the meeting will bo nnnounced at some later date. The new rates petitioned for are aa follows: $1.75 per thousand feet if from 1000 to 5000 feet Is used a month. $1,157 M; per thousand feet If from aiion to 7500 feet la used a month. $1.f!0 por thousand feet If from 75"0 tn 10000 I'eet is used a month. 1.52 per thousand feet If rfom inonn to 14!)00 feet is used a month. $1.25 per thousand feet IT from 15000 tn 4 1100 feet is used a month. $1.20 per thousand feet If from 45000 to 40000 foot is used a month. $1.10 per thousand feet If 50000 or over Is used a month. The above prices are Biihject to dis count of 10 per cent per thousand feet If paid on or before the 10th of the following month In which the gas Is used. Quantity discount on consumption between the respective llmltB shown above shall not exceed the net bill on minimum consumption entitled to the next higher discount. However, there Is a charge of one dollar in r month minimum. ' Tbo Oregon Gas & Klectrlc Com pany respectfully ask that the above prices be effective on and after De cember 15. KM 7, andi owing to this fact It Is the belief of those close In touch with the affair thAt some ac tion will be taken relative to the ap plication submitted in the near fu ture. The company sets forth that they have Invested large sums In an effort to give satisfactory service, and they hold that this Investment has not been productive. In other words, It has been a losing proposition since It was stalled. Owing to the large In crease in the price of materials, sup plies and labor as well as the inabil ity of the company to earn any bond Interest or taxes under former nor mal rondilions. the p'.ockholders were forced lo assess themselves to pay for these Items and now that conditions are abnormal, everything being higher, the Oregon Gas & Elec tric company respect fully asks the public st. r vice commission to allow the slight raise petitioned for.
