Declares If Contracts Call
for More Than Board

A signed statement to the effect
that the company Will not enforce a
contract for steam heat, even though
such contract calls for a higher rate
than is finally fixed by the state
railroad commission as fair, was is
sued today by M. L. Hubbard, man
ager OF the Union Light, Heat &
Power company.
Mr.. Hubbard took this step, he ex-
plains, as a means OF definitely as
surfing contract makers that they
will not be required to pay more
than the finally fixed fair rate.
The question of rates on steam
has as yet resulted in no definite
action either by the city or by the
customers Of the company, the only
new feature today being Mr.. Hib-
bard's statement, which follows:
1.-THE question has been raised as
to whether or not the heat consum-
ers, who have signed the new con-
tracts for heat for the ensuing year,
would be compelled to pay the rate
named in the contract notwithstand-
ing a lower rate might be finally
determined and established. In or
der to definitely set this question at
rest, the company again calls at
tention to the public statement and
pledge which is made on July s,
1918, namely:
LAS an evidence of its sincerity
and good faith the Company defi-
nitely pledges itself that If the rates
