  On September 17, 1997, Point Distributors, Inc., G-155, filed with the 
Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission revisions to its current 
tariff naming rates to become effective November 1, 1997.

  The revisions consisted of:  Tariff No. 4, reflecting an increase in 
residential and commercial rates.

  It appearing that the filing would increase rates and charges for service 
rendered by the respondent, it is the decision of the Commission to enter upon 
an investigation and public hearing or hearings concerning such changes to 
determine the reasonableness and justness thereof to ensure the rights and 
interests of the public will not be injuriously affected.  Further, it is the 
decision of the Commission  to suspend the operation of filing TG-971408 
pending such investigation and hearing or hearings and decision thereon.

  
O R D E R

  IT IS ORDERED That filing TG-971408 is hereby suspended.

  IT IS ORDERED That a hearing or hearings, on the Commission's own motion, 
shall be held at such times and places as may be required.

  IT IS ORDERED That the rates and charges sought to be amended by filing 
TG-971408 shall not be changed by a subsequent tariff or filing, until this 
suspension proceeding has been disposed of, or, until the period of suspension 
and any extension thereof has expired, unless authorized by special permission 
of the Commission.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this         day of October, 1997.
