INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 26-Oppo-

the New Indiana Electric corpora
ton for valuing its constituent prop
critics developed Friday at the pub
lie service commission hearing on
the corporation's petition for author
ity 10 acquire seven utility compan-
ies and issue securities.
Counsel for the cities participat-
ing in the hearing commended that
seven year price average of 1914 has
1920 proposed by the corporation
was too high because OF war prices,
but the corporation answered that
basis was fair because OF funda-
mental economic changes resulting
from tho war and which would OBJ
tain for an indefinite period.
Present Case.
Without committing the commits
sion 10 accepting the average price
theory. the corporation was direct
ed 10 place a value on its properties
based on the ten-year price average.
In presenting its case. the corpora
ticn also proceeded with a view OF
determining value on the reproduc-
ton cost-new basis. but during the
hearing. Commissioner Bernard. who
presided. indicated that the COM
mission was not bound 70 accept
this theory.
After hearing several expert en-
gineers the hearing went over until
Monday. Most Of the evidence to-
day had 10 do with the Merchants
Heat and Light company and the
Indiana Railways and Light COM
pany. A value Of more than ST.
600. 900 was placed on the Merchants
COMPANY by the engineers while one
engineer valued the Indiana Rail-
ways and Light at s5.172.695, and
another one at s4.TO2.6 $50. both US
ing the seven-year basis. The diff
erence in part was said to have been
due for one engineer using a high
value for real estate.
Two engineers declared that spot
prices Friday were substantially the
same as the seven-year average
prices and the third spot prices are
higher than the seven year average.
