The public service commission will be prohibited from ever Issuing another order like the one which established the -ent streetcar far In Portland, in violation of the contract made between the city and the street car company. If the bill Introduced in the senate today br Senator Huston of Portland becomes a law. This bill amends the '' public utilities act by providing that "nothing In this set shall ever be construed so as to au thorize the commission to alter, change, modify or set aside any rate previously fixed by a contract between any pub lic utility corporation and a municipal corporation prior to November 7, 1912." November 7, .1912. is the date the public utilities act went into effect. Whether this proposed amendment. If it should become .a law, would have any effect on the C-eent fare case is a mooted question, i as able lawyers say it will, while othArs say it will not.
