Speaking of roads, It Is authori

to show that If Sam Hill happens to

To tho Voters of Rend:
It appears from their letter to tho
voters of Rend published In last
wo6ks llullctln thnt the flond Wator
Light & Power Co. are anything olso
but pleased because we placed be
foro tho voters the full report of tho
commissiona deculon and order In
the recant rate hearing of the Com
pany Insofar as It pertains to the
electric utility, even though they say
that they nro "obliged" to us for
publishing It. It Is quite npparont that
if tho company had desired tho pub
lic to read all tho Commission had to
say about their business methods
thoy would hnve published the report
hofore wo did. We vonturo tho as
sertion that the company would hnve
been still moro obliged to us If wo"
had not published tho report at nil.
As oxplaincd before, thnt portion of
tho report portalnlng to tho water
utility was not 'published for the
reason thnt wo nre not seeking a
wator franchise nnd It hns no placo
vhatevor In this fight. Wo have 110
objections, however, of It bolng pub-
iisned.
Tho company would have you be
lieve that thu reduction In the rates
is the only Important pnrt of the ro
port so far ns tho public Is concern
ed nnd therefore It wns not necessary
to publish only that part. We say to
you, that although tho rate reduc
tion Is Important, It Is not all that
Is hurtful to the conrpnny, for tho
part that stings .most aside, from de
crease in profits, nro tIioerarta
which oxpoe methods employed by
tho company in "putting it over" on
tho coifsumer. That will not stand
public scrutiny and we da not blamo
tho company for flinching under its
publication.
Tho cut in rates must necessarily
embarrass tho compnny In view of
what they had previously told tho
people. You will recall tnnt when
tho Rend Flour Mill franchise was
before the council, Mr. Foloy pub
llcally stated that If the franchise
was granted and the flour mill cut
off his company would be compelled
to ralfo the rates from 16 to 20 per
cent. Tho franchise wag granted and
the flour mill was cut off. yet the
commission, instead of raising the
rates reduced hem over 25 per coat.
Brme tlttlo dliferenco. Why did Mr.
Foley mako such n statement? It
was only a bluff.
The company would hnve you he
Heve that we have "changed front"
with reference to the competency of
the Public Service Commission and
