frame work for the bridge which will
span the spillway. The bridge will be
a concrete structure forty feet wide,
Seventeenth street runs along the top
of the dam across the bridge, and con-

STATE COMMISSION

OF WATER COMPANY
Cognizance Taken of Rich

fair Rate Charges.
A PRELIMINARY STEP

Will Be Determined At
Future Hearing.
A PRELIMINARY STEP
palladium Specially

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9.-The In
diana Public Utilities commission has
taken official cogniZance of the action
of the city of Richmond against the
Richmond City Water Works COM
pany, which action alleges that the
water company is charging excessive
rates, and is demanding and collecting
meter rentals.
The commission, it is announced, on
the best of authority, will hear the
grievances of the city of Richmond as
directed against the water company
and already the commission has given
notice to the water company to pre-
pare at once full and complete in
Ventory of it's property and file the
same within a stated time with the
commission at indianapolis.
Is the Initial Move.
This will be the preliminary step to
the hearing, based on the complaint
Of the city which was prepared and
filed by William A. Bond, city attor-
ney of Richmond Up to the present

the commissions actual time in invest
lgating public service corporations in
cities, having been devoted to Rich
mond. The natural gas controversy
was disposed of with dispatch and in
a manner which the commission be-
lieves was satisfactory to Richmond
as well as to the corporations invol-
we'd, and now comes the water works
case, which it is said, will be one of
the first the commission will hear
along this line.
Purpose Of Hearing.
Whether the rates of the Richmond
water company are excessive, as al
legged, will be determined after the
commission examines the inventory of
the company's property and supple
ments it with testimony relative to
general conditions which prevail. 1t
is understood here that the company
some years ago had prepared a very
complete inventory and it is deemed
likely, therefore, that not a great
deal of time will be required to bring
the new inventory up to the minute

AS soon as the workmen can tear
down the forms used in concreting
the dam, Morton Lake will be ready
to hold water The dam is complete
with the exception of little concrete
surfacing to be done on the apron of
the spillway. Members of the board
of directors say, however, that the
river will not be turned into the lake
until after a heavy rain, when the
river and creeks are up.
The object in doing this is to pro
tect the light and power plants in the
city which depend on the river for
their water supply and to furnish
part of the power. Should the river
be turned into the lake during dry
season, they claim that the water at
the plants would be lowered so that
they would have to close down.
1t Would Cause Trouble.
1t is also stated that such move
would cause the river to fall below the
outlet of the sewer system and would
cause trouble in disposing of the sew
age.
If the water is not turned into the
lake until during rainy period, no
trouble is expected. This being the
case the directors say that it would
be almost impossible to have cere-

To Play for Time.
IL was decided il was better to play

opportunity TO reconsider his action
in announcing that he would bar Mr..
Lind from Mexico il he does not bring a
message of recognition.
Therefore. the New Hampshire was
advised yesterday to slow down. so

forty eight hours more leeway than he
had previously.
Army and Navy Busy.
Marked activity was noticeable at
both the war and navy departments,
however. and preparations were made
to keep Offices in both departments

have been set aside for a public park,
with another section of six acres farth-
er to the east These parks both front
on the lake. At the lower will be boat
houses and landings, while at the up
per will be the bathing beach.
Richard Sedgwick, who has been SUI
perintending the work at the park, has
taken particular pains with the
springs. Altogether there are about
twenty fine springs in the park. These
have been cleaned out and sunken, so
that they may be easily found. They
have been ditched and gravel placed
around them.
Another hobby of Mr.. Sedgwick' s
has been the trimming of the trees. He
has exercised his imagination and as
a result the foliage presents all kinds
of shapes, from queer looking geomet-
rical figures to perfectly shaped trees.
The directors of the Morton Lake
and Park company made their first
trip of inspection to the dam yesterday
afternoon and were we'll pleased with
the work that had been done. A busi-
ness meeting will be held soon to con
