United Press full Leased Wire 48th Year Evening Sessions Slated in Hearings On Copco Rate Hike Move Made in Effort To Wind Up by Friday An evening session was set today by Examiner David Don in the Public Utilities Commis sioner's hearing on the proposed 20 per cent rata increase by California-Oregon Power company. The move was an effort to wind the hearing up by Friday night, "if at all possible," Don said. However, he indicated that the hearing would continue through Saturday, if necessary, but not next week as he had to appear elsewhere at that time. Few More Questions State PUC Attorney John R. .McCullough stated that he only had a few more questions to ask the last two Copco witnesses in cross-examination and that his direct presentation would not last over one hour. Opposition Attorney Walter Evans, Port land, stated that he was doubt ful the session could end by Fri day evening, and that he couldn't tell how much of a direct case he would present, although he planned not over one or two witnesses in opposition to the rate increase. . In this morning's cross-examination of Copco witnesses, three persons were heard. They in cluded Edwin Fleischmann, San Francisco, a consulting engineer, who was continued from yester day; W. A. Fankhauser, Berke ley, former head of the Depart ment of Finance and Accounts of the California Public Utilities commission, and John C. Boyle, Medford, vice-president and gen eral manager of the company. Answer Changed All had given direct testimony at an earlier hearing in August. Fleischmann had given an ex planation of the method used to allocate the properties and ex penses of the company between the two states of California and Oregon. At today's session he changed an earlier direct testi mony, answer and enlarged on other questions, giving specific cases for electrical utilities where average water condition adjustments were made and cited certain gas company cases where adjustments were made for aver age temperatures. Fankhauser, the second wit ness called, had previously given the financial history of the com pany and compared the com pany's earnings with other indus tries. He stated that the company now earns $1.66 annually for each common share, and contend ed it should earn $2.13 per share in order to raise funds with which to finance its construction program. Not "Firm Contract" Boyle was questioned at length by McCullough concern ing the company's recent "writ ten memorandum" with Bonne ville power administration. Boyle stated that the reason for the agreement is to make "some arrangement whereby our terri tory would be leff intact and not invaded by government trans mission lines." He stated that the agreement was not a "firm power contract" and didn't be lieve any firm power would be available from Bonneville for the next six to eight years. He added the Pacific Gas and Elec tric company was the only source now available. When questioned whether Copco could purchase Bonneville power and resell to PGE, Boyle stated it "was not good operat ing .practice," but could be done "if we split our system." All session are being held in the old council chambers of the city hall on the top floor.
