Council to Talk
Of Rale Freeze
Ruling of PUC
To Be Mulled
Springfield's City Council Mon
day night will probably decide
what to do about a proposed or
dinance which would freeze
Mountain States Power Co. rates
in the city for live years.
Oregon's Public Utilities Com
missioner Charles Heltzel ruled
recently that the proposal is not
in the public interest. It had been
submitted to him, according to
Orenon law, and he waited the re
quired 90 days before announcing
his adverse ruling. The council
can now call lor an election oy
city voters or reject tne proposal.
Municipal Power officials made
the initial proposal to freeze rates
of its competitor. A major con
tention was that the private firm
was going to ask for rate in
creases, Mountain States did not,
however, make that move. The
council is acting for Municipal
Power in the action.
Other matters to go before the
council include the resignation of
Councilman Clem Krueger, who
is moving from the city; consid
eration of a petition from city
employes, asking for a 7 per
cent pay increase until July 1,
1952; receiving petitions for Im
provements, and other items.

axis is tipped down 23 Vi de
grees toward the left, an amount
a little less than one-third that
to make it point directly toward
the sun, we have the approxi
mate tilt. Rearrange the axis
in your diagram accordingly.
We now have the condition of
summer in the northern hemi
sphere and winter in the south
ern. The sun can warm the end
of the earth turned toward it
much better than the other.
H the north pole could slowly
tip toward the right so that in
six months it would point as far
to the right of straight up as it
does to the left in summer, we
would have winter conditions
without any doubt. But it does
not do it that way,
The axis continues to tilt to
the left as the earth moves
around the sun. In three months
it will be hidden behind the sun
in our diagram. Draw another
10-cent earth at the left of the
sun with the north pole still
tilting toward the left. This is
the winter position six months
from the summer position.
The seasons are thus due to
the annual revolution of the
earth around the sun while the
earth's axis remains at prac
tically the same tile.
There is a complete change of
tilt in a period of 25,800 years,
the cause of the precession (not
"procession") of the equinoxes,
but that affects conditions very
ran in a human lifetime.
