A. PACE SIX -Muusr it i. HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON iYOfUGIST REQUEST FOB HIGHER RATES Mayor John Houston went on the witness stand at the public hearing conducted by the state public utilities commission Wed nesday afternoon to state that he believed that the Klamath Heating company should not be granted a request to charge a higher rale for their services if they did not show due dili gence in obtaining fuel for their boilers. The heating company has said that they feel a higher rate should be allowed them because the cost of hogged fuel and saw dust has gone up and it is hard for them to get enough fuel to maintain high pressure service to some of their consumers and still give satisfactory service to their other users. However Houston said that he did not believe it fair to consumers to pay a higher rate in the spring because of lack of diligence on the heating com pany's part in obtaining fuel in the" fall or because they sell some of their fuel. public- Utilities Commissioner George Flagg. conducting the hearing, stated the position of the" commission by saying that it: would permit no discontinu ance of high pressure steam under present wartime' condi tions. This has been one of the heating company's main com plaints, their position being that the high pressure accounts bakeries, laundries, cleaning and pressing establishments, and dairies take extra fuel, be cause of the higher pressure needed. Therefore they feel that since it is harder to get the fuel, their rates should be increased. ' The commission has given ak torneys 10 days in which to file briefs with the state office after which a review of the case will be made -by the commission which will order a rate sched ule in accordance with- what it thinks is a fair rate. The Klamath Heating com pany's proposed rate increase would involve an approximate raise of about 15 per cent in steam rates. 'Old Blood and Guts' in Action Again (lEA Radiol tltpholo) Lieut. Gen.
