In view of what has been said relative to the action of the underwriters in re gard to the recent Increase of rates on account of the improper electrical in- atallatlon In this city, it la only fair that the public be given an Idea or the under writers' position in the. case. On December 24, last, the Portland office of the Board of Fire Underwriters Informed the Portland Railway, Light & Power company that their method or installation of motors for commercial purposes was not In accordance with the National Electrical code, the accepted authority. The company took no action. and in March the matter was referred to the -Board of Fire Underwriters' of fice in Ban Francisco. To verify the opinion of the Underwriters' Klectrlcal Engineers In Portland they sought the opinion of Professor Charles 1j. Cory. head of the department or electrical engineering of the University of Cali fornia, who reported as follows: ' San Francisco, March 23, 190B. "Mr. Alfred StiUman, Secretary Execu tive Committee, Board of Fire. Under writer of the Pacific, San Francisco, Cal. "Dear Sir: My attention has been called to a communication bearing the date of March 14, 1908. addressed to you,, from the Portland office of the Board j of Fire Underwriters, this communica tion containing a list of 318 risks, each of which haa connection with 5S0-volt, direct-current electrical circuits, so that electrical energy Is supplied from the name venerators which furnish elActrln power for the operation of electsic street railway trolley -cars with ground re turns. "Such grounded 650-volt, direct-current service to general customers Is absolute ly wrong and create an undesirable state of affairs, and one which should be rectified at the earliest possible moment. The generally adopted standard for electrical installations, viz., the National Electrical code, states specifically that: lighting and power from railway wires must not be permitted under any pretense in the same circuit with trolley wire with a ground t return except In electric railway car, electric car house and their power stations; nor shall the same dynamo be used for both purposes." "The practice of furnishing electric power to individual customers contrary to the above rule is condemned, not only by underwriters, but, as I stated In my opinion rendered to your executive com mittee of the board in October, 1901, such electrical service is condemned by electrical engineers and street railway managers as well. The National Elec trical code also forbids such electrical service In an entirely different section, where it is stated that: " 'Two-wire direct-current systems having no accessible neutral point are not to be grounded.' . "Where such power service is done to the extent reported in Portland, there exists not only the individual hasard in each risk were the 550-volt grounded service is in use, but, owing to the very large number or such grounded services, there can but result a complete and se rious conflagration hazard. "Very truly yours, (Signed) "C. L. CORY, . "Consulting Engineer." Upon receipt of Professor Cory re port the following communication was eent to Mayor lane: "March 24, 1908 "The Hon. Harry Lane, "Mayor of the City of Portland. Or. "Dear Sir: I am instructed to re spectfully and urgently call you atten tion to a condition which. It is believed, can be controlled by your honor and the honorable council of the city of Port land, as affecting the public safety. I enclose a report from the underwriters' electricians in Portland describing a method pursued by the Portland Rail way, Light A Power company, regarded a highly dangerous by the Association of Electrical Engineers, whose code Is accepted by electricians throughout the United states as conclusive; also a let ter from Professor C. L. Cory, head of the electrical department of the Univer sity of California, copies of the National Electrical code. Professor Cory.'s opin ion rendered our executive committee in October, 1901, and Electrical Fire Haz ard Pamphlet No. 3, giving a number of authorities on this subiect. "The various underwriters having risks In Portland cannot consistently disregard the opinion of so high an au thority as Professor Cory, whlcl is conveyed in the concluding paragraph of hi letter. Kacn company is provided with a duplicate of the list enclosed. If each conjnany having liability in any of the buildings mentioned relieves Itself of that liability. It will still be subject to a hazard for which, the premltvn at present charged does not compensate, since fire o started may be communi cated to otheT property covered by insurance. The executive committee 1 confident that It I 'only necessary to fall your attention to this Inexcusable violation of a provision of the one recognized code of safe electrical Installation, to have It rectified. Your very turly. j (Signed) ALFRED STILLMAX, j "Secretary Kxecutlve Committee. h The mayor then took the matter up virh rn rnr ann rvnwer com rn n v in an , effort to have the defect remedied, but j with no avail. All efforts to have de fect corrected proving f mitlee. It be came necessary for the underwriters to make an Increased charge or rsc to the: rates on all risks thu affected. Hence ; on April-22. 1908. the following circular was sent to all Portland agents: i "PoTd of Fire Underwriter of the Pa- . cifie.' "Portland. Or., June I2. 1908.
