EIGHT AGAINST

' Itosnhurg will co-operate. In any
action which ha as It purpose tho
abolishment of tho public sorvlco
commission, soya tho Hosoburg Ho
vlow, according to a decision reached
by tho city council, which Instruct
ed tho city attorney to correspond
with the authorities at Klamath
Kails, where n movo ha already boon
started with this aim In vlow. Tho
city attorney will offer Hosoburg
asslstanco to Klamath rolls and will
mqticil nny Information which mny
aid thl city In starting a move which
may end In placing on tho ballot a
measure for tlm approval of tho peo
ple of Oregon doing away with tho
commission.
Tho matter wai thoroughly dis
cussed before tlm council and tho ac
tion not hastily taken. It won
Ilia concensus of opinion among
the councilman present that the com
mission I of heneflt only to cor
porations and Is In reality a hardship
on tho consumer patron of the pub
lic utilities under tho Jurisdiction of
Iho commission.
"We have a contract with the wa
ter and light company," aald Mayor
Hamilton "Our franchise provldod
certain things. Wo were given a cer
tain, number or free hydrant and
other concossloa for the privilege
granted the corporation of laying
main along our streets and alleys
and of erecting pole and stringing
wlro to carry Iho power. Tho com
mission comes In and over our pro
test completely cancels the term of
our franchise and seta a higher rote
and throws a burden upon the tax
payer of Hoseburg. We are prevent
ed from' allowing' competition to en
ter. If another firm wanted to atari
a water and light plant here It could
no do so without first obtaining the
permission of the commission, and
that body would doubtless refuse
such permission and would hold that
the city Is not big enough to support
two plants.
"It appears to mo that the commis
sion only Increases our (axes, raises
the rates for tho services ot our pub
lic utilities and docs tho patrons of
these services no good. When a city
makes a contract with a corporation
It seems to me that that franchlso or
contract ahould bo binding, and
should not bo set asldo, and that no
body should havo Ihe right to do so."
Tho council agreed that It will re
fuse to pay the sums thrust upon tho
city by tho commission and will forco
the Issue to tho United States su
premo court, In tho event tho com
pany, endeavors to collect tho money
duo, tender tho commission's schedule.

Tho express car, within the past

off the first section of No. 13 and put
on Iho second section, which runs
four or five hours behind the tint

Mr. Williams said he would take
tho matter up with tho railway heads
