President Hastings Says There VIII
BE No Reduction in Price,

President Hastings, of the Indianapolis
Gas Company. announces that there will
be no reduction in the price of artificial
gas for fuel purposes. The rate provided
in the contract of 1899 which continues for
ten years, is 81 per one thousand cubic
feet MIR. Hastings says the gas at this
price. used with improved burners, is more
economical than other fuel. He says dis
counts will be made TO those who may use
over 10000 or 5000 feet each month. lie
says the use of gas at the prices fixed
here is both practical and economical ex-
cept where IL may be used in large heaters
He said the company had not considered
using its natural gas mains for the trans
mission OF artificial gas for fuel purposes
Under the contract of 1899 the rate fixed
while the annual consumption does not ex-
coed 30,00o000 feet. shall be 81 per thou
sand; when in excess of 800 600 600 feet the
price shall be reduced TO % cents, and
when in excess OF 350.O00.O00 IL shall be 30
cents. John r. Pearson. of the Indian
apolis Company, says the prospect for an
increased use of gas bringing IL over the
maximum grade of consumption Is good
and that in this way a reduction in price
Is likely TO come soon.

ARB THEY CROOKED?
Charges Made Against Members
of Normal Board.

Glenviile Normal Members are Al
tacked-Special Meeting Of Rexents
to be Held December Sth to Inyesti-
gate-Money is Thought to Have
been Misapplied.
Grave charges refecting upon the
integrity and official conduct OF the
local board governing the Glenville
Normal school are being made. A
special meeting of the state board of
regents of the normal schools has
been called to consider. the charges.
The meeting will be held December
| Sth.
One charge is that ]. N. Shackle-
ford used his position as member of
Chenille local board to force persons
into voting for him for mayor OF the
town. 1t is alleged he tried to com
pei the janitor of the school to vote
for him, and when he refused, m
sultingly ordered him to give up his
keys.
1T is already reported that charges
will be made regarding the letting
of contracts.
The accusers say there has been
much crookedness in this line, and
that illegal rebates and fees have
been allowed to large amounts.
Another matter to be investigated
is the alleged discrepancies in tn,
accounts. For two years the regents
have endeavered to secure a settle
ment With the treasurer of the
school, and have been unable to d.
so. 1t is possible, If the charges ar,
substantiated, that criminal proceed
ings will follow. The special meet
ling promises to be sensational.
