ASTORIA TO GET
LOWER GAS RATE

Cheaper gas for Astoria patrons
of the Pacific Power and Light
company Is involved in an order
handed down by the public serv-
ice commission this morning. The
new rates promulgated in today s
order which is written by Chair
man Williams is said to provide
for a decrease of approximately
Is per cent from the rates hereto
fore in effect The new rates
which are made effective on gas
consumed on and after February
3, last, are as follows:
First 200 cubic feet 81.
Next $500 cubic feet $2.25.
Next 1000 cubic feet $1.9O.
Next 10000 cubic feet $3.50.
Next 10000 cubic feet SIPS.
All over $4,000 cubic feet $l.O5
In /the order Chairman Will
Jams calls attention to the fact
that the rates Of the utility were
raised by the commission on July
1, 1921, to protect them against
the increase in the price of crude
oil used in the manufacture OF
gas. This rate, he points out, has
now outlived it's usefulness.

TRANSPORTATION
HELD IMPORTANT

Whether or not the public will
allow its highways to be made
railways, figuratively speaking, is
the question which must be de-
cided by the public itself, Fred
Williams, member of the public
service commission, intimated this
noon at the Kiwanis club lunch
con, in reviewing the work of the
commission.
Truck transportation on high
ways is one of the most important
questions confronting the commits
sion today" said Mr.. Williams.
"At the end of this year there will
be invested in the highways of
the state $40, 100000. Figure the
maintenance-figure the traffic,
both passenger and freight. The
question is-whether you are go
ing to make railways out of your
highways"
Mr.. Williams said that it could
not be done the way highways are
constructed today, but that there
was use for both truck and rail-
road and that under a limitation
of Is miles the truck was the
most economical while over that
limit the railroad becomes neces-
sary and the most economical fac
tor.
public utilities are not like
private industry-they can't quit
when they want to because the
profits aren't sufficient. They
must keep going all the time"
said the commissioner, and if the
regulation of them is carried too
far it will fall of its own weight.
In speaking of the grain in
spection department of the com
mission Mr.. Williams said that
this department handled more
grain than handled in three north
western states, having inspected
some fifty million bushels within
the last year.

Washington, March 28.-Presi-

believe It desirable to extend the
use OF the naval radio to the press
for the transmission Of trans

The executive was described as
feeling that connections will work
out such an extension and allow
the press the privilege of sending
its dispatches for Hawaii, the
Philippines and other portions Of
the orient until private facilities
are erected.
Legislation dealing with the
proposed extension is now in CON
ference between the two houses of
congress. The senate granted an
extension for five years, while the

Improvement of Service
Expected to Result
From Establishment of
Local Bureaus

Washington, March 2S.-The
postoffice department rapidly is
completing plans for a decentral-
ization of much of the routine
work of the department under a
system of state central offices
which postal officials believe will
increase the efficiency of the
service greatly and at the same
time effect an important savings
in its cost. In announcing the
broad nature of the plans today,
Postmaster General Work said he
believed they would mark zone of
the most important reforms in
the service in several generations,
if not in its entire history"
Details of policy, adjustments
and service which have hereto
fore been thrown upon the de-
partment in Washington for final
under the new plan,
the postmaster general said, will
be settled by a central office for
each state. Such offices already
have been designated, he said, and
ultimately the thousands of COM
plants and recommendations now
handled here will be disposed of
by the state offices.
The effect of this change, DR..
Work said, will be not only to re-
lieve the mails of thousands of
letters and documents now shunt-
ed across the continent, but also a
great saving in operating ex-
penses and in time required for
service adjustments of all kinds.
