The views of the councilmen are al

be carried out as quickly as possible.

WESTERN REFINERS
SECURE VICTORY

Telegraphic advices from Washing
ton are to the effect that the recent
decision Of the interstate commerce
commission with reference to railroad
rates on sugar from Utah and the
far west is a decided victory for the
western refiners.
Joseph Geoghegan. agent for the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company. stated
last night that the western refiners
had asked for a rate of 46 cents per
hundred pounds on sugar shipped from
the Pacific coast to Chicago and that
he understood from the kilograms re-
ceived that the decision of the inter-
state commerce commission fixed the
rate at rs cents a hundred pounds
higher than the ratio from New Or
leans to Chicago. According to this,
Mr.. Geoghegan says. the new rate
between California and Chicago would
be about 40 or 40 1-2 cents a hundred
pounds
One effect of tho new rate will be-
to divert to San Francisco much Of
the Hawaiian sugar that heretofore
has been sent to Now York over the
Tehauntepec railroad.
In their application for change of
the railroad rate the western refiners
showed that seven states in the west
ern territory produced last wear beet
sugar and refined Hawaiian cane su-
gar totaling $3.50 pounds, or enough
to supply 20,OOO,OOO people, while the
population OF these states is but g.
1926, 1921.
1t is alleged by the refiners here
that the new rate will make very
little If any difference in the retail
price of the sugar.
