MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, JIEDFORD, OREGOX, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1934. PAGE SEVEN FINAL HEARINGS COPCO RATE QUIZ DUE IN FEBRUARY After a publlo hearing Friday, In which testimony wu presented on the methods to be followed In allo cation of property of the California Oregon Power Co., Commissioner Charlee M. Thomas of Salem and his aides from the publlo utilities dis continued direct supervision of the Copco rate Investigation until after the first of the year. Commissioner Thomas left Friday evening, to return only occasionally before what he hopes will be the final hearings of the case open next February. UntU then the Oregon commission hat approved seven engi neers who will carry on the investiga tion with the Copco engineering force. H. Cleland, attorney of Olympla, Wash., represented Copco at Friday's hearing, while Commissioner Thomas acted for public utilities. The allo cation of property was considered In respect to wholesale and retail, and In respect to Its division between the state of Oregon and California, which states fix separately the rates to be charged (Within their borders. Value of property in each state was studied, with the book figures of the company, unadjusted, taken as a basis. It was anticipated between counsel that the purpose of the testimony was to es tablish the principles involved. Commissioner Thomas said that pater both the company and the commission will present evidence cov ering changes or adjustments which may be found In the company's charges on Its books.

Tel. 1061 land requested that the company be given an opportunity to present the exhibits offered by both parties on the question of allocation, and that they be filed and discussed with the California commission so that all pos sible conflict might be avoided here after between the two states and the company. Commissioner Thomas agreed that this was a practical suggestion and said the Oregon commission would co-operate with the California com mission In the matter. The hearing was adjourned with the understand ing that the allocation between states should be settled a soon as possible, and that thereafter the hearings should continue. The commissioner stated In regard to closing the case. which he hopes to do In February, that a great deal depends upon the progress made by the two states' com missions In reaching an agreement on allocation. The company has been given until February 1 to reach a conclusion on whether or not It will accept the commission's holding company order filed In November, 1934. Commis sioner Thomas said he deems this or der the most Important one made by i.ne commission during his term, and that, if It Is sustained by the courts. It will be a complete solution to one of the most vexatious questions be fore the commission. "If the holding company question Is overcome," the commissioner said, "it will eliminate all exorbitant charges collected by eastern owners and will reduce all charges to an actual, needed service at a reason able cost." Continuing, he said: "Some of the holding companies can carry on on this basis, but those holding compa nies whose charges are based on un necessary and ethereal Items, will be automatically detached from the Im proper revenues that now maintain them at the expense of the rate payer." k Pup Worth $10,000.
