CHAMBER OPPOSES
UTILITIES BILL

The board Of directors Of the Indian
apOlis Chamber Of Commerce has adopted
a resolution proposed by the public serv-
Ice committee of the chamber In opposi-
ton to House Bill No. 70, whose purpose
is to repeal the public utilities commits
sion act.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas there has been introduced in
the General Assembly bill for the pur-
pose of repeating the public utility com
mission act and restoring the railroad
commission, and
Whereas, this bill is aiming to restore
the complete control and regulation Of
public utilities to city councils and
boards of trustees of towns and
Whereas, these local bodies are not in
position to do this work carefully and
intelligently, and
Whereas, the public service commission
over a period Of almost eight years has
demonstrated its ability to regulate the
utilities companies, keeping in mind the
interest and needs of the public, as well
as the interest and needs of the utilities,
and
Whereas, the passage Of this proposed
bill would impair the credit of the utili-
ties which are so essential to the main
tenance an deportation of industry, would
disOrganize and return to the former
unsatisfactory basis the whole utility
business Of the State and would un-
doubtedIy drive many of them into bank
ruptcy, and
Whereas, in the present state Of fnan-
cial and Industrial conditions 1t would
be very unwise to attempt to tamper in
any way with the present method of reg
ulatiOn which has proven itself effective
over a period of almost eight years, and
the commission is now in a position as
a result Of this experience to render to
the people of the State even more efficient
service.
Therefore, be it resolved. that the board
of directors of the Indianapolis Chamber
of Commerce strongly opposes House
Bill No. 70, otherwise known as the Smith
bill, and urges its defeat; and, resolved
also, that the Chamber of Commerce shall
be represented by a committee at the
public hearing TO be held by the General
Assembly, which committee shall make
known the opposition of the Indianapolis
Chamber Of Commerce TO the Smith bill.
The public service committee will rep
resent the chamber, with Dick Miller, in
presenting the resolution and arguments
in opposition to the bill before the Leg
islatiye Committee in charge.

SOUTH SIDE MEN
TO FIGHT CHANGE
Insist Shelby Street Opening
Be Carried Through.

A movement to arouse the south side
to fight any change IN the plan to open
Shelby street straight through from
Washington to Maryland streets is under
way with Thomas Cahalane, Hugh D.
O'Connen and J. B. Downey as leaders,
it was learned today. The board of pub
lie works last Monday postponed fnal
considera ton of the resolution for the
opening until next Monday in order that
it might investigate a substitute plan
of widening Cruise street.. already cut
through from Washington to Maryland
streets, and joining it with Shelby street
by diagonaEy opening it from Maryland
street to the first alley south Of Georgia
street.
Several hundred south side property
owners gathered in OConnells hall Tues
day afternoon and demanded that the
board of works adhere to its original
plan.
The entire eastern section of the south
side has been interested for several years
in getting a through route to Washing
ton street over Shelby street. They have
insisted all along that the route was
needed for fire protection purposes as
well as for another through traffic thor
oughfare Some citizens at the meeting
said that anything but a straight open
ing of Shelby street would be a subter-
fuge for the purpose of postponing for
ever the proposed opening.
There is no through north and south
street open through the railroad tracks
between Noble ard East streets.
Several manufacturers and other bust
ness men with plants in the path or
adjacent to the proposed Shelby street
opening have objected to it, asserting
they proaably would have to seek other
locations if ii went through, the Penn
sylyania railroad tracks being elevated
at the same time, as the board of works
contemplates. The firms now have side
tracks from the railroad into their plants.
When the tracks are elevated it will be
necessary to bring these sidings into
the plants on grades. Several OF these
grades would have to cross Shelby street
in order to get down to the first hoor
levels Of the factories. II Shelby street
were opened these grades could not be
put in because they would block the
street.
The only alternative left the manufac-
turers. they state. would be to run side
tracks in on the second-hoor level. They
say their businesses are of such a nature
that this could not be done with any
degree Of practicability, and therefore
they would have to move or go out of
business.
The south side residents say that the
manufacturers are making their ca Sc
stronger than the facts warrant and as
sert further that even If the proposed
opening would compel them to move or
go out of business the public need for
the street would Justify the sacrifice.
Another mass mseting of the south side
residents will be held a. Fountain Square
Hall at . 80 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
A large delegation is expected to attend
the board meeting next Monday to press
their demand

The raids on hotels conducted Friday
and Saturday of last week created a
sensation and prOprietors and guests
were strong in expressing their indig-
nation. The police department, since the
present good government administra-
ton came into power, boasted that
everything is open and above board In
this department and reports Of raids
will not be covered up and suppressed
from the newspapers"
However, it was not known until the
search warrants were returned to the city
clerk that the police had any part in the
raids. If the police moral squads did
make reports Of the raids in which they
found whisky, but made no arrests, then
such reports were carefully hidden aud
reporters at police headquarters were not
permitted to see them.
