I SEEKS HELP IN Appeals To Oakland To Take Part in Contest With i Power Concerns.

An appeal from the city of San Francisco to City Attorney H. L. Hapan today asking that Oakland participate with San Francisco and other cities In the Pacific Gas and Electric and Great Western rate cases was countered by a letter from the Railroad Commission to Mayor Iavlei saying that the commission Is amply able to handle the matter without assistance. The conflicting letters were discussed today by the city council without any final action. San Francisco.

In Its letter to Hagan, cited that the valuation Is of vital Importance and will follow "the most extensive Investigation ver held by the Railroad Commission." "The utility companies," It says, "are thoroughly prepared to present their case. San Francisco by Itself cannot engage all the experts necessary and we suggest that the matter be called urgently to the attention of the officials of Oakland. HATES AFFKCr THOUSANDS It was also pointed out that the rates fixed by this valuation will probably hold for years and will affect hundreds of thousands of consumers. After the matter was referred to Hagan for a report, Mayor Davie announced that he had queried the Railroad Commission as to whether that body needed help and the commission said it was amply able to handle the matter though.lt could not object If any cities wanted to participate. "Both sides seem to have some logic," said Commissioner Edwards.

"The Railroad Commission should handle the matter, and yet the cities are vitally Interested." "I do not understand this matter fully," said Commissioner Morse. "The Commission seems to be like our civil service board. Every case has to be represented apparently by counsel and the board decides as between accused and accuser. The Railroad Commission seems to have, the eame Idea. It should represent the people." EXPEKTS EirMMVr "We had an expert one time," said the Mayor.

"Dockweiler. It cost the city all sorts of money. We ought tp go slow about appointing experts." "We can safely leave much of this to City Attorney Hagan," said Edwards. "He has established a great record for efficiency." "I am saying nothing," said Commissioner Haccus. "The rate case is a very Important matter," said Commissioner Soder-berg.

"The rates mean millions of dollars every year. We ought to make It our business to see that fair and Just rates are made. 1 believe we ought to be represented." The matter will come up for another discussion when Hagan makes his report. Social Workers Would Save Condemned Lad SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25 fFnited Press).
