Salem. Or., Nov. 15. The public
service commission was served Wed
nesday with-the complaint In a suit
filed in the circuit court for Douglas
county by the J. K. Luce company
and others, to set aside an order, made
by the commission reducing the rate
wblc-h the company charges water
users under an irrigation canal near
Sutherlln.
The company is the successor of
the Sutherlln Land & Water company
and was charging water users $3.50
and $2.50 an acre a year as water
rental. Water users appealed to th
public service commission, which pro
ceeded on the theory that an irriga
tion company which furnishes water
under such conditions is a public
utility, and held hearings and then
ordered the rate reduced to $1 an
acre a year.
It is to have this order set aside
that the suit is brought! The con
tention is made that the company is
not a public utility and therefore la
not subject to the" Jurisdiction of the
public service commission, and that
such a reduction in the water rate
will impair the value of $100,000 o'
bends outstanding.
