W. Mason, company assistant vice-president, San Francisco, testified at Fri day's hearing involving an annual rate increase of more than $3, 000,000 sought by the Pacific Company. . The cost of any new bond issue issued in the immediate future, Mason said, would be around 23 per cent more than the cost of the bonds outstanding, Mason testi fied. "If Pacific Company is to be able to compete for common equity capital and at the same time correct, its weakened finan cial condition it must be permit ted to earn a return currently which is in line with the common equity returns of other businesses having comparable risks," Mason averred. The company concluded its di rect testimony at noon Friday and the hearing recessed pending a date to be set by the Utilities Commissioner. The hearing is being conducted by public Utilities Commissioner Charles H.

State Refuses To Maintain Truck Route Denial of the request that the state assume maintenance of the South 12th Street cutoff while it routes trucks there was receiv ed Friday by Marion 'County Court.

The county had asked, as it had on previous occasions, that the state pay the costs until the by pass highway now under construc tion becomes the through truck route. The state replied; how over, that it would not do this "in view of the fact that through trucks will not use South 12th Street when the bypass is com pleted."
