Potatoes Shipped
By Commissioners

Bair, commission merchants of Can
by, are now in the midst of a busy
season, for large shipments of pota-
i toes are being sent out daily on their
way to southern points, California de
pending largely on the shipments of
potatoes from this section of the state.
The 1921, although not as large as
in former years, contains some of the
best potatoes ever shipped from this
point. After being received here they
are sorted, and then loaded on the
cars in waiting. As care is given in
selecting these, the local commission
ers have no trouble in finding a mar
ket for the potatoes each season.
Macksburg, Central Point, Molalla,
Mulino and other sections of the coun
ty are assisting in supplying the south
ern markets, and brought here by the
growers.
Mr. Lucke says that so far this sea
son he has shipped 90 carloads of po
tatoes, and expects to continue ship
ping at least for four months more.
CANBY, Feb. 21. (Special). By a
maioritv nf tot fh& Ar p-mv
day voted a $10,000 bond issue for the '
light plant. A total of 204 votes were
cast ot which one was thrown out, j
leaving a total of 152 in favor of the i
proposition and 51 against it. ' j
The bond issue is the outgrowth of j
agitation in Canby since last July :
when the Molalla Electric company
boosted its rates about 100 per cent.
Unable to secure a sizeable cut, the '
concerns to operate plant at lower
charges, submitted the question of
municipal ownership to the people.
Two Plans Made
Two plans are now projected as
possible means of proceedure. If a
resonable figure can be secured the
city will purchase the equipment of
the Molalla Electric company and
operate it. If the city decides that
the amount asked is npt with reason, j
the present transmission lines will be
ordered removed and new .equipment
installed. In either case the city will
buy power from the P. R. L. and P.
company, which is at present furnish
ing it to the Molalla people. The idea
or construction or a water power
plant for the generation of electricity
has been abandoned.
The Molalla company Is at present
witnout a franchise in canby, its
greements having expired last year.
Under the orders of the Public Serv
ice Commission they are still furnish
ing electricity, and the commission,
in an order issued last Saturday re
duced the rates some 12 per cent.
Rate Said Too High
The city of Canby maintains that
service can be provided there for the
going rate, or $1.49 per 20 k. w. h.,
while the present charge in Canby Is
said to be $2.78 for the same service.J
The plant, in Canby, is valued, ac
cording to the Public Service Com
mission's figures, at $8,000. J. Rob
inson, owner of the Molalla company
plant came to Canby about seven
years ago from .Arlington, Washing
ton. Some time ago he moved the
headquarters of his company from
Canby to Aurora, Marion county.
The election here was preceeded by
a meeting held Saturday among the
prominent residents of the city, to
make a fina lcanvas before the poll
ing. The sentiment was practically
unanimous in favor of municipal ownership.
The next definite step, it Is under
stood, lies with the city council.
Officials at the election were:
Judges L. H. Wang and J. J. Sands
ness; clerks O. W. Krueger, A. H.
Knight and Carl Fischer.

CANBY LIGHTING
RATES REDUCED
BY COMMISSION
What will amount to approximately
a 12 per cent reduction in the rates
charged by the Molalla Electric com
pany, whose headquarters are located
at Aurora, has been required by an or
der received from the Public Service
Commission Monday.
The order ' reduces the minimum
charge from $1.25 to $1.10, with re
ductions on all classes of service in
proportion.
The cut is the outcome of a hearing
held at Canby January 24, when three
separate cases were dsposed of. The
original action was a petition filed
by the Molalla company for an in
crease in. rates. Temporary permis
sion for the increase was granted,
but when a dispute over the rates
arose, the city of Canby filed a pro
test over the discontinuance of elec
tric service for street lighting purposes.-
The commission then, upon
its own motion, called the hearing to
investigate the entire situation.
Big District Affected
The district served by the Molalla
company covers the city of Canby,
Barlow and Wilsonville in Clackamas
county, and Aurora, Butteville, Don
ald, Fargo and Hubbard in Marion
county.'
It is unaersioou that the movement
for the establishment of the municip
al electric plant, which is to be voted
on at Canby Tuesday, will be mater
ially affected by the reduction in
rates. The election is to be held up
on the issuance of $10,000 in bonds
for the construction of a plant on th
Molalla river. Should the bonds be
voted, the plant wou!d provide serv
ice for the city of Canby only and the
surrounding country, which repre
sents the large part of the Molalla
company's investment will not be
materially affected, v
According to the findnigs of the
commission, the greater portion of
the overhead is due to rural lines,
the return from which is not suffi
cient to give a large return upon the
investment, but they hold that any
loss , must fall upon the company 'and
that a charge cannot be placed upon
a basis which makes it out of propor
tion to the service rendered.
Better Service Ordered
. The commission also ordered con
siderable improvement in the service
given by the company, against which
numerous complaints were registered
during the hearing. The definite im
provements to be made are not set
out in the record.
The residential lighting rate is re
duced to a minimum charge of $1.10
for the first six k- w. n. The next 14
k. w. b are charged at 12 cents, next
40 k. w. h. at 5 cents and in excess
of 60 k. w. h. at 3 cents each. The
primary commercial scale is built up
on the same minimum with a 12 cent
charge per k. w. h. over 6 and under
50, nex 150 k. w. h., 8 cents, and over
200, 6 cents. The secondary com
mercial schedule provides a charge
of 5 cents per for the first 100 k. w.
