Mosquito War
Should Begin Now,
Sanitarian Says
Now it the time to start warring
on mosquitoes.
This is the advice of LaV'erne
Miller, Douglas county sanitarian.
Miller said that mosquitoes multi
ply by the thousands during warm
spring weather. A tiny pool or a tin
can of water may be the source of
a great many wrigglers, which will
develop into biting mosquitoes, un
less they are first destroyed, ac
cording to Miller.
Any good commercial spray may
be used for spraying shrubbery
about the house. A little kerosene
on a pool of water works very sat-
isiiciomy. ah containera oi water
should be dumped.
Contrary to many beliefs, mos
quitoes do not breed in shrubs.
However, said Miller, they do hide
in such dark places during the day.
and sometimes the shrubs mav
shelter small pools of water, it
doesn't require much water for
them to breed.
The city of Roseburg has bud
geted S3.000 for general mosquito
control if the budget is approved.
But this money will not be avail
able until after the start of the
fiscal year, July 1. Mosquitoes will
have plenty of opportunity to be
come pesta in great numbers by
that time, aaid the sanitarian.
Precaution taken at this time
may have a great amount of ef
fect in lessening mosquitoes next
summer, he advised.

Phone Co. Earns
Nearly Fair Rate,
Flagg Declares
SALEM, April 20 -P Public
Utilities Commissioner George H.
Flagg says that the Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company is
earning almost a fair rate of re
turn on its investment.
The company has applied to
Flagg for a $3,365,000 annual rate
in-rease, or an average increase
of 9.8 percent.
In 1949, Flagg fixed a fair profit
for the company as 5 5 percent,
the rate base being original cost
of the company's property minus
depreciation.
But Flagg said Tuesday that in
the last seven months of 1949,
the company's profit was 5.34 per
cent. He said additional profits of
$245,942 a year would have raised
the company's profits to the 5.5 per
cent mark.
In the past two months, the com
niny's profits have increased,
Flagg said, so that the additional
profit needed each year would be
even less than the $245,942 figure.
. Flagg granted the company a
9.4 percent rate increase in 1948.
and another 17.4 percent increase in
1949.
He said that of the $3,365,000 In
additional revenue each year which
the company wants, the company
would get to keep $1,764,000. Thi
company would have to pay $1,081,
000 of the amount for federal cor
poration taxes, and $445,000 in fed
eral excise taxes.
Flagg said that he soon would
