APPLICATION FOR NEW GAS RATES IS FILED (Continued From Pe One) ' feet is at the rate of JlNo per 1000; the next 4700 feet at the rate of 1.10 per 1000 ; the nxt 60.000 feet at the rate of 85 cents per 1000, and all over 100,000 feet at the rate of 80 cents per 1000, these being the net "rates, allowing, for a discount of 5 cents for each step for prompt payment. ' For house-heating the proposed rate is 80 cents per 1000 feet for all gas used, plus a service charge of 11.20 per month for 10 months for the ordinary- sized meter. A comparison of bills under the proposed rates and the present rates for the ordinary consumer will be approxl- roately as follows: Amount Present Proposed used rate rate 2.000 ....J 1.90 $ 3.29 3.000 . . 2.85 4.59 6,HO3L 4.75 .6.79 10.000 9.50 ' 12.29 20.000 19.00 23.29 For house heating customers a com parison of present and proposed rates would be as follows: Amount Present Proposed used " rate rate 40,000 feet ..." ,i $ 5.00 . 9.20 20.000 feet 10.00 . 17.20 30.000 feet 15.00 25.20 INCREASE IS EXPLAINED Officials of the gas , company ex plained the greater percentage of in crease in the proposed charges for the .first 2000 or 3000 feet of gas used by stating that this method is generally used throughout the country by pub lic service commissioners in order to ap portion equably among consumers the cost of reading meters, bookkeeping. collecting bills, investments in meters and service. These charges, ' according to the officials, are the same for each consumer, regardless of the amount of gas used.

FOLLOWING RAIDS UNION LOOK FOR THE BIG UNION SIGN proposed for every consumer would pro vide for general expenses in the amount of 69 cents, and allow 200 feet of gas at the rate of 11.30 per 1000, or 28 cents worth of gas. The fairness of this kind of rate, according : to officials of the company, is demonstrated by the fact that every customer, no matter what bis consumption, pays for every block of his consumption at exactly the same price, instead of requiring heavy consumers to carry a portion of the loss sustained in carrying consumers using small amounts of gas, - City Attorney .

Commissioner Barbur charges, and he proposes to put a stop to the practice. Commissioner Barbur . intimated that the city would prepare to do concrete as well as bitulithtc paving at an early date, and should contractors decline to accept the engineer's estimates the city would be In a position to pave its own streets.

Correll, secretary of the" Cattle and Horse Raisers' As sociation of Oregon, the second froth Percy Allen, , chairman of North Portland industries committee. - "As our organisation is state wide," Correll declares, "and its members are all deeply interested in developing a bet-J which can only be done by creating a way to ship meats by water, especially with the present high rail rates, you can understand that we appreciate your ac tivity in a matter that will be of .such decided benefit to the state at large." POST CLAIM STATED Allen's- more extended statement brings out the fact that North Portland harbor is Included by law in the Port of Portland and its improvement is a duty of the port. 'There appear to be those." he says, "who now would have the Port of Portland repudiate its re sponsibility and promises by the adop tion of a law forcing the Norfh Portland manufacturing and livestock district out of the Fort of Portland district, or ac tion equal to that, and requiring that limited area to provide its own channel for deep sea shipping notwithstanding that said manufacturers and livestock interests add greatly to the wealth and commerce of the Port of Portland dis trict and have continued to pay the Port of Portland taxes." Were an adequate outlet for livestock provided in Portland, Allen continued, Northwest shippers could save $5,000,000 a year in freight rates under the charges paid by- them in shipping their stock under present conditions to the. Missis sippi valley. ' PLAIT I5COSSI8TElfT . ' To apply the benefit and damage plan as was done in the case of the Duwam ish waterway at Seattle would be incon sistent, he declares, because the Duwam ish was a narrow, crooked, limited waterway made straight by use of ad joinlngsland and a North Portland har bor assessment district would have to include the entire port in order to com prehend all the beneficiaries. "It is out of the question to build a livestock market and packing center on this coast without a proper channel to permit shipment of meat products by water directly from, the place of killing and cold storage facilities," Allen avers. He thinks any other course than for the port to bear the cost of the improve ment would be discriminatory and un fair. ' - 1 Commissioners Invited Baker, Dec 13.
