LIGHTING RATES GO UP FOREST GROVE FIXBS MUNICI PAL SYSTEM EXPENSIVE. Council's Desire to Have Consumers Install Meters Does Not Meet With Favor. FOREST GROVE. Or., July 20. (Spe cial.) Voters who believed that the oper ation of the electric light plant bv the city would give better service at cheaper rates have been deceived as to the cost of electric lighting. The Council at its meeting yesterday proposed an ordinance fixing the flate rate at 6 cents per candle power instead of 3 cents as at present. This 6-cent flat rate holds for consump tion up to BO candlepower. Most of the smaller residences have taken from $1 up to worth of light per month. The new rate makes electric lighting almost prohibitive for the poor people- - The Councilmen say they want every consumer to te put on a meter basis. The small consumer of electric light does not ieei tnat ne is making a good invest ment when he is forced to pay $15 for a ugnt meter. The same proposition faces the water consumer, the Council being anxious to force the use of meters. At the time of tne installation of the new system, it was said .that the water rates would be lowered because -of the abundance of wa ter that the new gravity system would supply, but the proposed ordinance raises the rates on water to $1 per month for one taucet in a residence and a fee of 25 cents for each additional faucet. More over, the rate for street sprinkling about me residence oistrict nas been raised to 50 cents per month for 75 feet. LABOR CASE NOT ENDED Stove Company's Withdrawal Will Not Stop Prosecution.

MORTGAGE TAX IS SCORED Marlon County Financiers Say - Has Driven Out Big Loans. It SALEM. Or., July 20. (Special.) Marlon County is one of the few In the state that has been assessing mortgage notes the past number of years and In quiry among local bankers and capitalists develops that such assessments have driven hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of loans away from the city. From the fact that a tax on personalty of this description would fall heavily upon the one making the loan, requests on gilt edge security have been rejected repeat edly and large sums of money have been allowed to stagnate. Financial men of responsibility say that if this system of taxation spreads throughout the state, the same conditions will be experienced all over Oregon that have been objectionable to capitalists here and that loans which are now se cured in Oregon, will be refused here after and borrowers will go to Washing ton or other states, where there is no mortgage tax. The rule has seemed to work both ways in Marion County. Not only has local capital refused to make loans of any con sequence, but borrowers have gone away from the county, as it is a foregone conclusion the one holding a tax note would increase the Interest sufficiently to cover the tax.
