The attempt to. prove by the teetl

Although Harvey W: Bcott waa again
present at the investigation, he was not
called to the witness stand. - The ex
amination of C F: Adama, the presi
dent of the gaa company, developed some
interesting facts. In testifying to tne
customary allowance for depreciation In
a s plant he said It ahould be figured
at from "7 to 16 per cent of the' value
of the plant, but that the 'Portland Gas
company . had charged off; on an aver
age,- leas than 1- per cent. i n toiai

Cost of labor Here Ze XlffW
Comparisons with other cities are
difficult, said Mr. Adama. becaui of
the varlationa In price-of labor, price
of materials, volume of output, num

Three quarters, of the gas com pan lea
work their men In 12-hour ahlfta, while
the Portland company : works . three

the cost of labor -about 60 per ' cent
The daily output of gas In Portland Is
about 1.000,000feet; In Ios Angeles
about 6.000.000, and In Ban Franr.iafio
front 8,000,000 to 11,000,900 feet.
In New York the number of consume
era la 'about 600 for each mile of main.
In Portland the number la from 100 to
110 on the west side and from $0 to 6
on. the eaat.alde.- -; , .;
Mr. Adama testified that the gas com
pany' had never paid a cent for politi
cal or legislative purposes, nor do the
directors receive any compensation;-. In
the laat five years the expenses for
legal fees had not been over $300 or $400.
As president of the comptny Mr. Adams

superintendent waa formerly' employed
at $500 a month, "but buaineaa become

.There were others, however, who told
a different, etory and complained that
their . gas bills bad been extortionate.
Perhaps the most striking testimony of
this description waa' given by George
H. Howell, a compositor In the employ
of the .-Oregonlan. ' He produced his
bills for the. months of October, No
vember and December for -the - years
1903, 1904 and 1906. The total bills for
the laat three months of 1903 were $18;
for the like period-In 1904, $1 (.10; for
the rorreeprmdlng tlmt In 1806,- $ 21.20.1
Mr.. Howell .admitted that he had
changed his residence about a year ago,
but insisted that there had been ho in
crease In his consumption of gaa. -'
"I found It cheaper to burn. -gas at
$1.60 than when the price dropped to
aald Howell. He testified that
he" complained .to the company, but suc
ceeded only once In getting a reduotion.
V. J. Stelnmetx, a real estate dealer,
had a big grievance ' against the gas
company on"a.ccountr of overchargeaV but
as he had failed to bring his gas bills
with him the committee decided to hear
him- at the next session, when his bills

J. F. Olaxlk, a barber at 209H Third

had been too high.' The largest In
crease for any single month was -from
fl.86 In December, 190S, ttr-$5.16 In De

- JJ A. Benedict, superintendent of Zan

a year past,- showing a large Increase In
the amounts of hla payments to the gaa

there had been no lncreaae In the amount
