BOND TO REVIEW
C|TYS ARGUMENT
IN GAS DISPUTE

At council meeting, next Monday
evening, City Attorney Bond will read
a statement reciting the facts in the
local gas rate case and recommending
the course of action to be taken in re-
gard to the state commissions order
of last week increasing the gas rate
to 20 cent minimum. Mr. Bond is
not prepared to announce at this time
what recommendation he will make to
council.
The city attorney states that he still
believes in the principle of a state
commission for the regulation of pub
lie utilities but declares the Indiana
commission law stands in great need
Of important notifications.
1T is also vitality important that the
right kind of men be appointed as
members of the public service COM
mission" he added. Positions on this
commission should not be used to re-
ward incompetent politicians"
N. H. Johnson, manager of the Light,
Heat & Power company, states that
the reported public resentment against
the gas rate increase order is not re-
flected by the company's business.
I'VE have not received any orders to
remove meters and the day after the
order was made public we received
orders for the installation of eleven
new meters" Johnson said. II under.
stand some one has started a move
ment among the women aimed to boy
colt the company, but apparently it is
not getting any place."

M'K!NLEY PROTESTS
new 1O-CENT LOAF;
MAYOR FIGHTS PLAN

City Food Inspector George McKin-
ley today entered protest against
the plans of the Richmond bakers to
increase the price of bread to 10 cents
per loaf, slightly larger loaf being
offered.
II do not want the bakers to make
bread at loss They are entitled to
a fair profit, and l realize the fact
that the price of -four is now exces-
sive, but I do not approve of market
ing bread at 10 cents loaf when the
loaf is to be approximately the same
weight as formerly sold for five
cents" said the inspector.
Favors Standard Loaf
'T think there should be standard
weight for a loaf of bread, that
weight being sixteen ounces. The
price Of this standard weight bread
should be regulated by the market, as
other commodities If the -four mar
ket is excessive bread could be sold
at or cents a loaf. II the -four
market was normal, then bread should
be sold at the normal price, five
cents"
Mckinley said that the weight of
a five cent loaf of bread now varied,
approximately between II and IL
ounces.
Mayor Robbins predicted that 10
cents loaf bread would be short
lived in Richmond. Some one will
come into the city with five cent
loaf, then watch our bakers drop their
ten cent bread" said the mayor.

Delay is the only thing which will

on the request of Attorney A. C. Lin.

ed to bring L. J. Harrington here at
the expense Of the county to recon-
mend whether a level or slanting

hoff for delay until he could bring
an engineer here to see If the old
bridge could be repaired.
"We have given our order for a
slanting bridge and we mean to stick
to it," said Seaney. THE level bridge
men know this.
Seaney States Reasons.
1--WE agreed to bring Harrington
here merely to please those who have
advocated a level bridge. We know
that an engineer of his reputation and
experience can recommend nothing
other than slanting bridge. It is
merely for the purpose of clearing our
skirts and showing the people that
we did not order a slanting bridge be-
cause H. c. Starr wants one.
1T means several weeks delay at
least but there has been nothing but
delay all the way through" said
Seaney.
The granting Of this request to Lin
demuth practically means that the ap-
preparation will not be asked for be-
fore the election.
"The examination which Bockhoff's
engineer makes can do nothing more
than satisfy the councilman's own
mind The bridge has been examined
by the best experts in the country,
and their reports were that repair
would be Improbable. If 1t were to
be repaired, however, the commission.
