State Senator Rush Begins Cru
SADIE for Reasonable Rates
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

VALLEJO, Feb. 16.-If there is any
possible way of doing so, Ben f. Rush
OF Suisun, who represents Solano and
Napa counties in the upper house of
the state legislature, will bring the
with a round turn.
At the last meeting of the Suisun
town board of trustees Rush adj
dressed the members. He said that
numerous citizens had come to him
with complaints to the effect that the
rates charged them were so exorbitant
that they had been compelled to cut
out the service entirely.
The senator also charged that
whereas the company assesses the gov
eminent at the rate of q cents per
thousand kilowatts for the current used
at the navy yard, the people of Sui
sun, Vallejo and other cities and towns
in his district are forced to pay at the
rate of from 10 to I2K cents per thou
sand kilowatts.
Rush told the trustees that if the
present laws of the state were not sui
fcient 10 permit the various municipal
tiles to force corporations to reduce
their rates to reasona BILE basis, he
would direct all of his energies at the
next session of the legislature to the
enactment of such laws as will vest
cities and towns with the necessary
power.
AS result of Senator Rush's crusade
the people of Dixon have taken steps to
force the company to cut its rates in
that town,

ROAD FUND TO HASTE
Sacramento County Surveyor
Explains Shortage of Money
IShnc.nl Dishnfch 10 The Gill

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 1e.-That the
deficit of s1sS,000 to result in the con-
structing of Sacramento county roads
is due in part TO the haste in building
the roads, as well as in the extra cost
for oil, is the statement of County
Surveyor Phinney.
The good roads movement was
launched. he said, before a preliminary
survey could be made, and hence the
rough estimates of 100000 for roads
and s225.000 for bridges fell short of
the actual cost.
Another mistake, he says, was made
in trying to build all the roads at the
same time. Phinney is in favor of rails
ing the S1sS,000 by a bond election.
