Interesting comparisons are ad-
vanced in the statement just issued
by the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, which cites tax rates
in several of the principal cities
of the county with direct refer
ence to municipal ownership of
utilities. The fact that the people
of Oregon have only recently voted
on a state wide measure involving
the broad principle of government
to the figures issued by this board.
With a given index number of 100
per cent as the average of the
United States with respect to liv
ing costs, it is stated officially that
five cities are the most expensive
in the country to live in at present,
and there rating follows:
San Francisco, 112; Cleveland,
113.4; Jacksonville, 115.6; Detroit,
118.1; Seattle, 123.8. All of these
cities have been pointed to at ex
amples of successful opeartion of
utilities, and San Francisco, which
has the highest rating of all of
them along with the famous Hetchy
