unless the notes were extended the

INDIANAPOLIS. March 13.-The
public service commission will not be
prepared to give decision in the
Richmond water rate hearing before
the middle of April. according to an
estimate made by Chairman Duncan.
The briefs of attorneys representing
the city and the water company will
not be filed until March % and until
these papers are submitted the COM
mission will not be able to make
much progress in arriving at a decis-
ION. The commissioners have been
involved, but they will not be prepar-
ed to consider the case in earnest
until after the briefs are received
On the day that the briefs in the
Richmond case are to be filed, the
commission is to begin hearing of a
water rate case from Vincennes. The
taking Of evidence in this case will,
of course, cause some delay in the
consideration of the Richmond case
Blue prints filed yesterday by En-
gineer Watts, employed by the city,
gave the complete history of the Rich
mond water plant from the year it
was established until last October A
copy of this report covering several
pages and representing a great mass
Of figures was given to each commits
sioner to study.
The question of what items are to
be considered in fixing a physical
valuation on the water works prop
erty received more attention than
anything else in the arguments of
the attorneys presented yesterday.
The commissioners questioned the
lawyers on different points from time
to time, but they said nothing to give
an intimation of how they stand on
the question Of the items which enter
into a valuation fixed for rate max
ing purposes. In view of the commits
sion's recent decision in the Union
City gas case, it is assumed that the
commission, in determining upon the
cost Of replacement. will not allow
the company to capitalize the cost of
pavementS over mains where the
pipes were laid before the streets
We're improved. Whether an allow
ance shall be made for going value
and whether. the company shall be
permitted to capitalize the cost of
service pipes extending from the mid
die Of the streets to the curb lines of
properties and for which the consum-
ers paid are other questions to be de-
cded by the commission in determ-
lining the physical valuation.
