Reductions in the rates ef the Port land Itnilwny, Light and Tower com pany for residence lighting and com mercial power made by the Oregon public service commission this morning propose to save to the consumer from . siity five to seventy thousand dollars each year. This order goes into effect twenty days from tho date of t tie or-, der, and charges the company to dis-, continue the rates that have been found to be unreasonable and to sub-! stitute tin) rates and practices found, under conditions now surrounding the operation of the utility, to be just and reasonable. The investigation of the rates of the company was made ou the commission's own motion and the reducing of the rates follows the fixing of the valued of the company's electric, city rail way, interurban railway, gas and non utility operations. Tho talera gas util ity is fixed at a value of .fi!U,7'J7.24. Illustrative of the reduction made iu the rates, the order shows that under the old rate the consumer paid $1.00 for 11 hilowat hours and under the new rates he will pay the same money for 13 kilowat hours. Formerly for 110 kil- owat hours he paid tl.tiO while under the new rate he will pay 1.4!l; for t! kilowat hours, he formerly paid $1.25 while now he will pay about $1.11. Jn the matter of the rates on com mercial power, it was the aim of the commission to fix a rate that would give universal justice to all consum ers as against a system that favored some consumers as against others. This condition was found to obtain m.th; rates charged some consumers, and all were not being treated alike; m other words, the company discriminated, it was tho aim of the commission to rem-1 edy this and fix a rate that would be universal in its application.
