5 o'clock, and made a whole even

Public Service Commission
Asks for Investigation
In Portland
By order of the public service
commission, the engineering de
partment of the commission wiU
make an Investigation of the op
erations of the Northwestern Elec
tric company's steam besting ser
vice in Portland. Rates will be
included in the inquiry with a pos
sibility of reduction.
"One of the principal Items
which the commission has direct
ed its engineers to give particular
attention to is the effect of recent
decreases In oil prices upon ' the
cost of steam heating service In
Portland, as well as the relative
cost of producing steam heat by
the use of the various kinds of
fuel." says a statement by the
commission.
. The commission points out that
fuel oil constitute only a part
of the fuel used in making steam
heat, and that heretofore the in
crease in the coat of sawmill re-J
fuse which also is . used' for the
purpose has more than offset de
creases in the cost of oil.
"If the results of the investi
gation indicate that steam beat
can be developed and delivered at
a lower cost than at the time of
the commission' previous 'order
fixing steam heating rates, the
com mission probably will -initiate
pon its' own. motion s proceed
ing with the object of reducing
rates," the statement continues.
The rates now In effect -were
established by an ; order of the
commission February 2i. 1921.1
