Unjust order of the underwriters and Portland motors
The Oregon Daily Journal reports the underwriters demand a switch from direct to alternating current in Portland within about 18 months.

Officials condemn the rate hike as an insurance holdup, noting Portland’s lack of electrical disturbances and plans to underground wires.
