Considerable comment was caused in
business circles of Portland upon an an
nouncement several months ago of an ad
vance of 25 cents on the then existing in
surance rates. Representatives of the
board of underwriters published state
ments alleging that the advance in rates
was directly attributable to the fact that
the local light and power company was
furnishing a service to manufactories that
created an extra harard in insurance of
Portland property.
Mr. Cory said last night that he was
convinced the power company is disposed
to remedy whatever fault on its part
exists, but that as was the case in Los
Angeles and other cities of California
the changing of direct current with
I ground circuit to Insulated return circuit
j requires from 14 months to two years.
Just now, he said, the Portland power
J company is rapidly complying with the
I ordinance requiring the linws to go under
ground and is repairing a considerable
loss sustained at Lawufro, mm io ad
ditional work is going forward as rapidly
as possioie.
