Disagrees on Cost Schedule Board members disagreed with Slate Sen. Walter Pear son (D-Portland) who said "there was never a thought on the part of anyone that this program would involve much cost until the effective date in 1961." Dr. Forrest Rieke. vice president of the board, said the present system was ar chaic "and is not uncovering deaths and their causes." Richard Wilcox, slate health officer, said it had been hoped a qualified medical examiner could be on the job by July.

(Walkcr-Simonson Photo) Action Taken To Assure Oregon of Sufficient Gas S.ilcm - TPli - Action was' taken Thursday by Public! Utility Commissioner Jonel C. Hill lo insure that Ore gon's share of Canadian nat ural gas will be imported over the projected line of Pacific Gas Transmission Company across central Oregon. Hill made two exceptions to a recent federal power com mission examiner's report favoring construction of the line from Kingsgale. B.C.. across Idaho, Washington and Oregon to California. His main objection is the "apparent omission by the examiner of a reservation of SO million cubic feet of gas per day for Oregon users." The gas which would be transported by Pacific Gas for El Paso Natural Gas Com pany could be sent over El Paso's system to any market it served, he said, and Oregon might be left without suffi cient gas unless the reserva tion is included in FPC ap proval. Cost Allocation Hill's other exception was to the manner in which the cost of the gas would be allo cated to users. The companies had agreed that the cost would be on the basis of demand miles. However. Hill said the PUC reasons that El Paso should he charged on the basis of demand-miles plus commodity miles, which might result in lower ultimate rales to Bend and me Klamath Basin - pro posed principal Oregon users on (he line's route. PGT should bear a greater cost, too, he added. Hill predicted that If the FPC makes its final ruling on the basis of correcting the ex ceptions, Oregon will be as sured of "sufficient gas for the next five years at reason able rates to customers. !
