Industrial Gas Users to Pay $1 Million Less Users of industrial natural gas on an interruptible basis will pay about $1,130,000 less annually for their gas as the result of a tariff filing made by the Pacific Gas and Electric company with the California public utilities commission in San Francisco. The filing makes effective reduction in certain gas tariffs to reflect the current price of fuel oil of $2.05 per barrel which was made effective January 25, 1949. The utility has requested that the revised gas tariffs be made effective on February 24, 1949. Certain military customers will receive a reduction of $27,000 annually as a result of the filing, commission engineers estimated. At the same time, the Coast Counties Gas and Electric company made a filing in accordance with the provisions of the escalator clauses to reflect the price reduction of fuel oil. Commission engineers reported that because this utility's interruptible industrial gas tariffs are now geared to a fuel oil price of $2.00 per barrel, the present filing will result in no changes in gross revenues received by the utility. Recently, when the price of fuel oil was increased from $2.20 to $2.30 per barrel, the commission ordered suspended the automatic filings of the two utilities and ordered an investigation of these filings. At this time no action has resulted from institution of the proceedings. The California manufacturers association has been outspoken in its criticism of the escalator provisions of interruptible gas tariffs. Oppose Proposed $1,000 Bonus to State Veterans Opposition to a California veteran's bonus was voiced in Sacramento by assemblyman Richard McCollister of Mill Valley. McCollister is chairman of the assembly military and veterans committee. Two measures, one by assemblyman William Rosenthal of Los Angeles and the other by assemblyman Joe C. Lewis of Buttonwillow, propose payments up to $1,000 to California veterans. He said while his committee has hired survey expert John Knight of Los Angeles to investigate the public attitude on the veteran's bonus proposal, his personal views are that "a state bonus payment to veterans would not be feasible, practical or judicious and the cost would be damaging both to the state as a whole as well as the veterans themselves." California Plan Outstanding "California has developed an outstanding program for the state's veterans in the farm and home loan agency," McCollester stated. "It is one of the soundest aid programs ever devised in that, while it is of great benefit to the veteran it costs the taxpayers nothing." The whole program is financed by the veterans themselves through their home payments whilst at the same time they are benefitted for more than 25 years has never cost the taxpayer cent. I believe it sounder to continue with program and even impossible than to embark on a bonus program which of little real or lasting value for the veterans or anyone else."

Chapter president Albert M. Cranston of Anaheim will preside. Special guest will be B. H. Koreze, president emeritus of the National Associa- Protect Walnut Growers Against Brooming Disease The state department of agriculture has acted to protect walnut growers of Orange county, who cultivate approximately 2530 acres to that crop, against a virus known as brooming disease, prevalent east of the Rocky mountains. The department clamped a quarantine on shipments of trees and parts of trees (scions) from all areas east of and including the Rocky mountain states. Trees shipped into California must be certified as having been produced west of the Rocky mountains. While the disease is most severe in trees of the heartnut or Japanese variety, it also attacks the Persian or English walnut variety, the department said. California is the leading state in the production of English walnuts and the crop was valued at $27,267,000 in 1948. Growers raised approximately 61,000 tons from 114,020 acres last year, and the price received per ton was $447, as compared to $388 per ton the preceding year. In taking action to prevent spread into this state of the brooming disease, the department said it is prevalent in Tennessee, Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. It has also been found in North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Michigan. In addition to the English walnuts, California has two native specifies of black walnut originating in Walnut creek, the Napa range above Wooden Valley and Gordon Valley in the north, and ALUMNI TO MEET More than 400 members of the southern California chapter of Jamestown College (North Dakota) alumni association have been invited to attend the annual chapter meeting to be held on Sunday afternoon at Parnell school, private educational institution for girls on Whittier bouluevard near Whittier.
