For Investors
Fifteen ef f the 18 leading
West Coast hanks won't buy Pa
cific Telephone and Telegraph
Co. stock because it isnt as good
an investment as other stocks,
Harold M. Phillips, vice president
of the First National Bank ef
Portland, testified Tuesday.
Phillips appeared at Public
Utilities Commissioner Charles H.
Heltzel's hearing in support of
the phone company's application
for a $3,966,000 annual rate in
crease in Oregon.
: Phillips said that - the - com
pany's earnings of 5.5 per cent
aren't sufficient to attract in
vestors. -
He testified under cross exam
ination by John R. McCullough,
Heltzei s attorney.
McCullough asked several ques
tions relating to the fact that the
American Telephone and Tele
graph Co. owns more than 90 per
cent ox me i Faciiie company s
stock, and that i it exercises its
right to buy more than 90 per
cent oi each; new stock issue.
Phillips said that when his
bank acquires phone . company
stock in trusts, it disposes of the
stock immediately.
Phillips supported the plea for
higher rates on grounds that the
company's 28 million dollar sur
plus is too low.' Company wit
nesses testified that the surplus
snouid be 125 millions.

Gty Council
To Consider
Ward Ghans;os
Salem City Council will j have
up for possible final action Mon
day ? night a bill to) redistrict the
Salem wards. I
The administration has pre
pared a new ward setup designed
to equalize th voter strength.
In recent years a si territory was
annexed to the city and as resi
dential areas grew: n . the fring
es, the outer wards got larger
and lareer until their voter reg
istration total doubled or tripled
that o the interior wards. ' i ;
Salemns eixht wards each elect
an alderman for the City Council.
Other elective officers are voted
on by the entire city. j
Ward 3 Expanded I
Downtown Ward S3, smallest at
nresent with a registration of
937 voters, would be expanded in
the proposed redisricting to in
clude the Capitol and University
districts so it would gain in voter
strength to approximately 2,610.
Three other wasds would be
inrreihed and three wards on the
city's outer boundaries would be
reduced in size. Ward 8 in West
Salem, the only ward which is
based on a pronounced geograph
ic area (all city territory on the
west side of the Willamette: Ri
ver), would be unchanged in the
plan. ' 1 - ! ; '
Alderman Stays In Same Place
Ward changes were made with
care that no alderman would find 1
himself living in a different ward
than he now represents.
. Based on present registration
of voters, here are the changes
in strength that would resoit if
the ward change is ordered. (See
abo accompanying map):
Ward 1 Increase Z.ZZ8 to
