creation of the Benton county

Portland people's utility district
were approved by Attorney Gen
eral L H. van Winkle Thursday
and certified to the state hydro
electric commission.
Dates for hearings In the pro
posed districts will be determined
at a meeting of the hydroelectric
commission to be held in Portland
Friday.
Corvallis Excluded
The Benton county district
would comprise the east one-third
of the county with Corvallis ex
cluded. The Portland project
would embrace all of the terri
tory within the city. Petitions for
the Portland district contained
approximately 5800 signature
and were filed by Senator Harry
Kenln of Multnomah county. .

exclude the towns of Dufur and
Mosier. Although these towns
voted against creation of the Was
co county district at Tuesday's
