That the general taxpayer., as well - a Jhe ; consumer should bear a portion of the cost of fire protection Is the opinion" of the Oregon public ervice' commission In an order issued Thursday: Th order ' shifts" a "portion iof the burden to the City of-Roseburg, on ap plication of , the Douglas; County Light and Water company, and .also slightly increases rates for electricity and water. Drain, Yoncalla, Oakland and Winches ter are affected by the order.' . "On the theory, that the general tax payer - as well as the small property owner should bear his proper propor tion of the support of ' necessary public .utilities." said the order, "the principal ; increase "in rates has been placed on sflre hydrants, which moKt bfallcon- ; tributes directly to the protection of the public generally. The commission finds that in the past the general . user of water In Itoseburjr has been contribut ing to a large extent to the cost of fire protection. The commission's order re- ; lievea the user of water from this bur den and places it upon the-general tax- . payer. . ? r . :v "The "fire protection feature was con sidered of such vital importance- In the ' safeguarding of life and property that the commission has provided in its order that the reservoirs of the ootnuany shall never be lower than 45 per cent of their capacity, thus assuring the citizens of Jtoseburg- that there will not be recur re nee of the water shortage.";.
