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.
