The committee, headed by Frank Van Dyke, Ashland, is at tempting to produce legislation that is "workable" and that meets requirements of PUD backers, private power com panies and the public. James L. Hope, Astoria city attorney, presented an amend ment to prevent PUDS from dis criminating in rates against municipalities that took their service but were not included in the district. The amendment would also confine PUD activities to areas that were part of the same gen eral service and area. This was in contrast to the original bill, which restricted PUDS from going outside their districts except by vote of the people concerned. Suggestion Upheld One suggestion, made by Sen. Merle R. Chessman, Astoria, father ot the bill, was upheld by the committee. It was that PUDs would be limited to the amount of their total assessed valuation in the amount ot a bond issue they could float. This, Chessrnan said, would prevent such a deal as the Guy Meyers promotion in Hood Riv er in 1943, when the PUD at tempted. to float a $175,000,000 bond issue to buy certain north western utilities, Including some Portland companies. Chessman and Hope also said that they had no personal ob jection to removing the original provision which would not have allowed agents to be paid from tax funds, which was one of the principal objections to the bill at former, hearings. Morton Tompkins,, state Grange master, said that "in principle we can go along with the proposed amendments," al though he said he would like to study them further. John Lang of the Pacific Pow er and Light company told the committee that the proposed amendments would kill the pur pose of the bill.

Main RON DIRE IS OF GAS HEATER Ron DeVore, Jacksonville butcher, and James Moore, serv ice station operator of this city underwent about five minutes of hectic experience with fire Sun day, while testing a gasoline stove In Moore s backyard. DeVore sustained a burned ankle when his pants caught fire below the knees. The Moore auto had a front tire burned off, De Vore's car was singed, and the heater handles were burned off. The trouble started when the two men decided to test the new ly ccquired heater, and placed lt on a table in the yard with their cars parked nearby. They emptied the gasoline in the heat er on the ground, and Moore went after fresh easoline. from his garage. In his absence, De Vore lighted the heater, and flames spread to the ground and under the two nutos. DeVore tried to stamp out the flames, and his pant legs caught fire. When Moore returned, he saw his companion's plight, and advised him to remove his trous ers. While DeVore hesitated, Moore took off his coat and wrapped it around DeVore's legs, smothering the flames. Devore then drove his car to safety, and the blaze underneath was put out. When Moore start ed to do likewise, he discovered the two small sons of the fam ilies, had removed the keys and were playing with them. The men shoved the Moore car out of danger by hand, and then ex tinguished the fire. DeVore's bums were not ser ious. Livestock Portland. Ore.. March fl (UP) Livestock Cattle, 200; calves, 23.
