PALS MAY VET TRY TO HELP SHERIFF ANSWERS HURRY CALL TO BARLOW FOR MAN WHO. GAVE SAWS. Professor F. J. Tooza of the rate committee appointd by Mayor Linn E. Jones believes that the charges, made for extension work by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company are exhorbitant, that the ratest are dis crimatory, and that the assessments levied in some cases before the ex tension work was done is prohibitive. The committee has been studying the question of rates in the cit7 since its appointment by the mayor Msas. announced. It has at its disposal! a number of receipts and other papers issued by the company-and believes that it has evidence that will show to the commission of the state that the company has made better rates for some of its patrons than it has for others. Prohibitive Charges. Wherever extension wodk has been done, Prof. Tooze claims, the com pany has made assessments against the new patrons on the line and, in many instances, these charges have been so high as to be unreasonable. He also things that the other rates of the company are above the point where the concern would bs able to furnish the patrons with efficient ser vice and, at. the same time, make a reasonable profit on the venture. The matter will be submitted to the railroad commission of the state. Statements that the chairman of the committee has made were given to the commission verbal'x Tuesday but they will be again submitted within the next few days, in written form. A large number of receipts and contracts were turned over by the committee ti the state officials for study. The commission has deter mined upon, a far reaching investi gation ana nas gathered data upon the valuation and al lother feturas deling with the property,, and assets of a large corporation. F. J.
