opinion handed down late yesterday
afternoon by Attorney General Blown
in reiilv to a ouerv from the commis
sion as to whether or not it, had a right
to raise the fare if it sny, the raise was
justified.
The attorney general holds th.it th!
public utility act supercedes any act or
provision of the city charter of Port
land regulating street car fares. Th-j
Portland charter provides thta not more
than five cents shall be charged for a
continuous trip any one wry but the
attorney general says that this is not
binding on tho publ'13 servica commis

general said he took into consideration
