GAUTHIER'S, 112 E. FOURTHARE PUBIjIC UTILITY

COMPANY CONTRACTSMKKKSCRAPS OF PAPER?

Contralia Company Proposes to Ab-rogate Its Agreement by Filing

New Schedule of Rates.

The supreme court Friday, by spe-

cial agreement, heard arguments In

the case of the North Pacific Power

Company, appellant, against the statepublic service comisßion. This case,involving a question of paramount

Importance to public utilty compa-

nies and one which, it is said, hasnever heretofore been passed upon in

this state, is whether under the pub-

lic service commission act a public

utility company can cancel a contract

?for furnishing a certain service, such

aa heat, light, gas or power, merely

by filing with the state board a newtariff raising the rates. Thq NorthCoast Power company had a contractfor power In Centralla which it pro-

posed to abrogate merely by filing

w|th the board at Olympia a tariffraising its general schedule of rates.

The commission took the view thatthe public service act guarantees theintegrity of contracts existing at the

time the act was passed, and alsocontracts which might later be made.

That a company feeling that ratesprovided for in a contract with a cer-tain consumer are 100 low can arbi-trarily annul the contract by filing a

tariff is entirely unreasonable, thecommission held.

The appeal was taken to Ihe supe-

rior court by the power company,where the commission's contentionwas sustained and appeal has nowbeen taken to the higher court. At-torney Scott Z. Henderson of Seattle

and Attorney Elmer Hyden of Taco-ma, appeared for the Centralia com-pany, while Atorney General L. L.Thompson and W. V. Tanner, former

attorney general, represented thestate board. The case was takenunder advisement by the court.
