UTILITIES NOT
PROFITEERING
Haynes, in Luncheon Address,
Presents Views on
Situation.
SOLVENCY MAINTAINED

That there were few, If any, war profit
ecrs among utility companies, was stated
by Paul T. Haynes of the Public Service
Commission of Indiana, who made the
principal address at the luncheon Of the
Indiana Public Utility Association, at the
Claypool Hotel this noon.
The luncheon was the opening Of the
first annual meeting Of the association,
which Will close with a banquet this eve
ming.
In his address Mr.. Haynes said:
For more than four years public serv-
ice companies have felt the ever growing
burden of increased costs. At the time
OF the armistice In 1918 most Of us be-
lieved that within q few months q reces-
sion of prices would set in which would
relieve the critical financial situation
which affected practically every utility
in the country. 1t was vain nope, Tor
not only did prices refuse to come down,
but they continued to mount to unprsC-
edented levels. Utility credits were fur
ther impaired, and the financial structure
of the great agencies Of public service
continued to be further weakened as
result OF postwar conditions.
INCREASES ONLY
MAINTAIN sOLYENCY.
There were few, II any, war proiteers
in utility rates Jagged far behind the
enormous increases Of comm odities gem
erally. Due to strict regulation and the
hope on the part OF regulatory bodies
that conditions were temporary and the
fact that the charge for utility services
was generally based upon past per-
formances rather than anticipated re-
quirements the Increases granted by
commissions during the war period main
tained the solveucy Of these enterprises
but did not keep them in a healthy and
prosperous condition

enterprises were enjoying unprecedented
prosperity, while dividends ranging from

declared by nOn-uHlity companies utln-

Administration, Short of Tim
Der, Tells Him It Was
Mistake to Quit.
LEMCKE FOR CHAIRMAN

Despite the public announcement Tues
day OF George Lemaux, president Of the
board Of public works, that he would
not enter the race for the Republican
nomination for mayor, it became increas-
ingly evident today that he is stil
candidate, and that the members Of the
administration wing Of the party have
about decided 1t is no use to try to
block him further
This belief. which was expressed by
a number Of Republican workers, IS
based upon reports that the administra-
ton has not been able TO agree upon a
candidate to back and has shown an in
cl!natlon to get behind Mr.. Lemaux to
make it appear that it is bring him out,
instead Of being forced to climb on his
band wagon"
The workers said they were convinced
that the administration a this particu-
lar moment is being forced into backing
Mr.. Lemaux, because several administra-
ton leaders are understood to have gone
to him and told him he made q mistake
by dropping out
INSIST LEMAUX. JR..

Meanwhile. and in spite of the reports
of the elder Lem4uX's probable return to
the arena. the men who carry political
news back and forth were insisting that

IS most likely to be chosen city chair
man at the Republican reorganization

holders held in the Office OF present City

decision that it was decided to back the
