CLASHES MARK HEARING
Attorney Wrangle Over Reduction
of Ratr Pending Dot'l-lon by
State Official Body.
Trellminarie in the hearin- trltl-
ted by the puhlic service commission
r Orfxon as to the legal authority- un
der which the BurleHon schedule of
rates is put into effect under the
order of July 29. and to determine the
reasonableness of the rates, occupied
mo.t of the sessions yesterday.
The hearing opened at 10 A. M., and
was characterized by sharp tilta be
tween counsel for the city of Portland
and legal luminaries representing the
company, concerning a suspension of
the schedules. Only two witnesses
wrere placed on the stand during the
day, ona repreenting the company and
ona a protectant representing the rural
lines of Washington county.
The greater part of the afternoon
was occupied In a fruitless effort of
the attorneys to agree upon stipula
tions that it waa expected would ex
pedite the hearing by eliminating from
the record a ma 3 of testimony.
This stipulation was suggested Jointly
oy Assistant City Attorney Tomlinson
and Judge C. H. Carey of the corpora
tlon counsel, and It ia expected would
among other things provide that the
company would, in case the rates fixed
by the commission are lower than the
rates now being collected, refund or
credit the difference to exchange sub
scribers and patrons. After a confer
ence with the city council Mr. Tomlin
son. acting upon instructiona from the
officials, declined to enter into the
atipulation
Kate Ssapeaaln Asked.
H. M. Tomlinson. assistant city attor
Ttey of I'orttand. asked for a suspension
of the rates, pending the result of the
investgation and decision by the com
mission, which was the subject of an!
mated discussion by the attorneys par
ticipating as representatives of the
company, and strongly sunported by
Mr. Tomlinson. Chairman Buchtel. on
behalf of the commission, declined to
order the rates suspended and declared
that the Interests of the public would
be protected, and that In case of rat-a
lower than the existing schedules being
fixd the order would be retroactive so
that refunds would be assured, of tha
amount paid in excess of the legal rata
"Iff eventually, or -nally. or what
ever time It is determined that the
company has been charging a greater
rate than they are legally entitled to,
there will be no question as to the atti
tude of this commission on refunds.
said Chairman Buchtel. "I believe the
people are properly protected, and 1 can
assure you that they will be pni-erly
protected. If this company In pl.icing
these ratea In effect, or Mr. Burleson
In placing these rates in effect, haa
tikn something which It afterwr.rla
appears they are not entitled tn. the
people will get their money back."
xnta statement waa made In response
to the contention of Mr. Tomlinson that
It would be sometime before tha de
rision of the commission would he an
nounced, and that meantime the public
would be paying the higher rates.
Meager Klrmt tVltaeaa.
C. n. Fleager was the first witness
Inirodut-cd by the telephone company
1 n1 was asked by James T. Shaw, gen
eral counsel of trie company, with head
OU.irirr at San Francisco, to identify
certain exhibit introduced. Before ac
cepting the exhibits the chairman stat-
id that unless the exhibits bad a direct
connection with showing the authori
sation of the company to put the
j-rhiiu'e Into effect it would not be
admissible. The attorney said it waa
liata tht he should wish to have before
the body as a prelude to going to that
point.
The tabulation was an estimate of
tha annual revenues that would be re
ceived under the Burleson rate on the
hypothesis of Its being In effect for a
full year, which It waa shown would
give net revenue of J.S per cent, as
compared with a return of 3 0 per
cent under the rate fixed by the Ore
gon commission, effective May I. with
the wages then in effect. It waa lur
Ihrr shown that, taking Into account
the June wage Increase, the net rev
enue under the legal rate as fixed by
the commission would be 1.37 per cent-
Farmer Takes fltaad.
K. W. Haines, who lives on a farm
rear Nrth Plains. Washington county,
gave testimony at the afternoon ses-
Mon in behalf -of the farmers' lines in
that section. He testified that there
are about thirty of these lines con
erc:ns at North Plains and that for a
period of about twenty years they have
had exchange privileges that permitted
them to have exchange service with
any telephone in tne county without
Jong-distance charges.
Recently the company put into effect
rates that confines the service without
toll-line charges to each Individual
line, and that In some cases It is
chpear to go by automobile to a neigh
bor for conversation than to use the
telephone, he said. On the line which
serves Mr. Haines, he stated, there are
about IK subscribers and each is now
charged $3 per month, whereas under
the old svstem their rate was nominal.
He asked that equitable rates be fixed
by the commission for this class of
service.
