Jagged along from eighteen months to
two years behind other utilities il be
ing granted higher rates" said Mr..
Metcalf Despite this late start they
are progressing toward a sound basis"
SEVERAL YEARS TO
CATCH UP WITH WORK.
It viii take several years, he said. for
the public utilities to catch up with
needed Improvements, deferred becaus or
lack of capital and adequate rates during
the war period.
e'I am impressed, however. with the
fact that evidence Of deferred maintenance
is much less in the property of the local
water company than is a good many
water work he said, This company has
gone forward with its Improvements far
more than generally has been the case"
Water companies have been particularly
hard hit by rising material costs during
the uncertain period Of and after the
war. Cast iron pipe, when was DOugnr
for s26 per ton before the war scared
to from $50 TO $50 1t now has dropped
back TO around $50, which very greatly
relieves this particular problem.
I'VE are looking for q still greater
drop, but we never will get back to the
old basis. 1 believe the engineer said.
HIGH TAXES
PLAY PART.
High taxes all over the country have
played their part in preventing utilities
from catching up with back extension
and repair work, as well as high material
and labor costs.
These changed conditions growing out
of higher prices, are being met in part
by increased rates. and in part by
changed methods Of doing work. Mr..
Netcalf stated. For instance the water
companies are using trenching machines
instead Of men to dig bitches. Today
they have to do 1t to get by"
Since Indiana has developed the steam
heating utility to a greater extent than
any. other part of the country there is not
much chance for comparison Of the prob
lens of these companies with those in
other sections, according TO the export.
The East, in particular, has not felt the
difficulties which a number Of Indians
cities are facing because their steam heat
ing companies have found the business
so Improbable that they have tried TO

DOUBTS GOOD OF
VICE CRUSADES
immortality Exists Outside
Segregated Districts.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 23.-Com-
mercialized vice, removed from segre-
gated districts Of American cities, has
appeared in other forms, according to
Allen T. Burns, New York, president of
the national conference for social work
in session here.
Serious doubt was expressed by Burns
as to the actual good accomplished by
the vice crusades and the resultant leg
islation.
Burns pleaded for chemists of social
conditions to analyze modern society
needs"
Too much attention is paid to form
and administration by social workers,
Burns said. The result is that social
work is still in the rule of thumb stage
More than 1000 delegates are attending
the conference.

His statement was in response to
inquiries following reading Of an ex-
cerpt Of letter from Lloyd George,
premier of Great Britain, IN August,
1920, to President Wilson. That letter
referred to suggestions that inter-
Allied debts be cancelled reciprocally
and asked Wilson's advice as to the
best method by which the whole prob
lem could be considered and settled by
the American government in concert
with its associates at the earliest pos
sible moment that the political situa-
ton in the United States made It Dos
sible.
unjust Apply All Round.v
"You will remember" Lloyd George
wrote, ''that Great Britain borrowed
from the United States about half as
much as its total loans to the Allies
and after Americas entry into the
war it lent the Allies almost exactly
the same amount as it borrowed from
the United States of America. Ac-
cordingly, the British government has
informed the French government that
1t will agree to any equitable arrange
ment for the reduction of cancellation
Of the inter-Allied indebtedness but
that such arrangement must be one
that applies all around"
Lloyd George added that he SHOULD
like to make it plain" that there was
no reluctance on the part Of Great
Britain to agree to the funding Of her
debt to the United States, but that
Great Britain cannot bind itself to
any arrangement which would pre-
judice the working of any inter-Allied
arrangement which may be reached in
the future"
