SALEM. Feb. 7 W1 The desire of Oregon cities to remain outside the Jurisdiction of the Oregon public service commission, even if Governor Meier's program of power regulation and development Is adopted, caused the introduction of a bill by Senator Burke yesterday In conformity with their wishes, ine 0111 aiso nue. n governor's approval and is considered part of his program. - In brief the bill authorizes cities and Incorporated towns to secure right to the use of unappropriated waters and It would regulate the op eration of electric generating plants and distributing systems by cities and towns, and also regulate rates to be charged by the cities for electric service. The substance of Oic bill was orig inally covered. Senator Burke said, by other power bills In the governor's program, but could not be adjusted satisfactorily to the Ideas of muni cipal officials. Among the provisions Is one that "any filing mode by any city or In corporated town upon the unappro priated waters of this state . . . shall not be subject to appropriation by any other person, municipality or corporation unless it shall be Ju dicially determined that such filing exceeds the reasonable present or future requirements of such city or Incorporated town. In which event the surplus or excess may be. by de cree of a court of competent Jurisdic tion, released and discharged from such filing."
