Fred A. Williams, new member
of the state jjubllc service commis
sion, came home from Salem today
for a short visit. He left on a short
business trip to Medford this after
noon.
Mr. Williams gives some Interest
ing figures In regard to the applica
tion of the Oregon Gas & Electric
Co. to raise their rates for gas In
this city. For Instance, In 1912 fuel
oil was selling for about 40 cents a
barrel, while now It commands
$2.50 a barrel. Kitchen wood used
to sell for about $2 a tier, while at
present it sells for about $3.50.
Lately fuel oil went from $1.38 a
barrel to $2.60. A barrel of fuel
oil will produce, approximately,
something over 2,000 cubic feet, of
gas . The gas company asks for a
raise of 40 cents per thousand, mak
ing a rate of $2.50 a thousand, in
stead of $2.10, as it Is at present
The hearing before the public
service commission will take place
at the Josephine county courthouse
on February 7, at 10 a. m., and Mr.
Williams urges that all those who
wish to make a protest against the
proposed raise in rates be present
at that time.
