sound deadening material, on
the walls of the county court
house has been started by a Port
land firm. A carload of the ma
terial has arrived and is being
stored in the courthouse. The
work is being done to deaden
the continuous roar in the build
ing, and cure poor acoustics,
prevelant since the structure
was built.
The Red Cross office, and the
auditorium have already been
treated and there is a noticeable
lessening of echoes or roaring.
In the county court rooms drapes

en the sound. Other offices re
ported the reverberations so bad,
it was difficult to carry on a
conversation or hear over the
telephone. The work Is expected
to be completedin about a month.

PUD BILL HEARD
Senator Frank Van Dyke At
tempts Workable Legisla
tion Agreeable to All
Salem, Ore., March 6 U.R)
The house utilities committee,
which has held a long series ofJ
hearings on senate bill 62, the
so-called PUD bill, had new
arguments and proposed amend
ments to work on today, after
another hearing last night.
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.

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
