PGE Files Suit Against Flagg Over -Rate Gut - Suit contesting the recent order of George H. Flagg, public utili ties commissioner, calling for a reduction, in Portland General Electric company, rates with- the exception ot those applying to Salem, was filed Friday in the Marion county circuit court by that company, and Thomas W. Delzell and rJL. Clark as inde pendent trustees of the Portland Electric Power company. Willis S. Moore as first assistant ; attorney general was made a defendant along wife Flagg. . These defendants . are required, in an order allowed by Circuit Judge E. M. Page, to appear De cember 22 at 1:30 p.m. and show cause why a ; temporary injunc tion to restrain enforcement of Flagg's order during pendency of the suit should not be issued. The complaint alleges J that the order is unreasonable, unlawful and void because the procedure required by Oregon law was not followed in connection with a complaint previously filed by Or mond R. Bean when he was pub lic utilities commissioner; that notice was not given, no hearing was held and no findings of fact or conclusions of law made or en tered and that the commissioner "wrongfully sought to exercise a function not vested in him by the statutes of Oregon' to alter and amend existing rates and sched ules, the reasonableness of which is then in issue in a proceeding pending before him. The order also violates the "due process" provisions of state and federal constitutions, the complaint charges. The complaint alleges that rate reductions by PGE since January, 1940, had by the end of 1942 sav ed to its customers $5,609,000, whereas the company's saving from purchase of Bonneville pow er had been only $2,453,000; that the remainder of the saving to customers was the result of the company's policy of reducing rates as much as possible to sti mulate wider use of electric power. No dividends have been paid on the capital stock of PGE since January, 1930, the complaint declares. It sets forth that the value of PGE property was set by the utilities department at $44, 612.175 as of December 31, 1933, but that additional construction has raised the reasonable .value to $65,000,000 and the replacement value to $75,000,000. 75 Pound Weight Misses 9 Year Old BETHEL. Dee. 17 Luey Anne Wolfe, nine year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Wolfe, suffered only abra sions of the skin of her face, chest and lets when a 7$ pound weight which formed a lift for the cloakroom door broke through a double floor and crashed into the school base ment Wednesday during the noon lunch hour. Lucy Anne, with her 7 year old sister, Jean, and 13 year old Eva Mae Porter were cros sing the basement playroom floor with the teacher, Mrs. Carrie Branch. Lucy Anne was a few steps behind the ethers and the weight crashed down in front of her. A few inches ahead and she would have been crushed to death, in the opin ion of the teacher.. The girl's injuries were not serious but she suffered from shock and was sent home but she was back in school Friday. The basement is used as a re creation room, Mrs. Branch said.
