Is Petitioned

A petition for the removal from
office OF state Director OF Utilities
Hance II. Cleland was being cIrcu.
lated wednesday in Seattle by p.
II. Wilson. executive secretary OF
the Telephone Users association.
Wilson contends that in case the

this state. Cleland viii Immediately
jump az the chance TO do as the

Wilson is of the opinion that If
another man were in cleland's
place. he would force the court to
bring an action against the state
and compel the department TO boost
the rates. in accordance with the re.
quests of the telephone company.
In case such an action were
brought. the state would be the win,
