ATTACKS PLAN OF

L. B. johnson, KokomO, APP
pears Before Indiana Pub

INDIANAPOLIS. sept IA hnan-
cial analysis Of the new Indiana
Electric corporations proposed &C
QUESTION OF seven utility companies
throughout the issuance OF more
than $50. ZOO, 600 OF securities. bear
ing fixed charges. was attacked as
unsound by Fred B. Johnson former
members OF the public service com
mission, appearing as special coun-
sci for the city OF KokOmo IN the
fght over the proposed merger.
Mr.. Johnson cOntended that the
fixed charges could not be met by
the new company. and sought 70
prove that a dedcit was inevitable.
Counsel for the corporation did not
answer his analysis but was granted
time 20 file a similar analysis from
the corporations point Of view
on the face Of things Johnson
declared. the commission would have
90 raise rates or the corporation
would so bankrupt through inability
90 meet fixed charges. Further. Mr..
johnson asserted that never before
had a proposition been submitted TO
the commission when on the face OF
the figures the petitioner could not
meet fixed charges.
Argues Point.
While J. w. Fesler attorney for
the corporation. was arguing the law
in the case, Commissioner Edgar
Blessing interjected
The law is settled IN the minds
Of the commission. That IS not
bothering me. Unless YOU can show
the fallacy OF the figures Mr.. john
son submitted, they viii be an in
surmountable object TO me-"
In asking for time 10 answer John
sons analysis. Mr.. FesIer said that
1920 and 1921. for which Mr.. John
son had taken figures. were hard
times for utility companies, and that
81 was unfair to take these years as
a basis OF determining whether a
corporation could pay the fixed
charges.
The minimum issue OF securities
required by the corporation was re-
ferred 70 by Mr.. Johnson as SIG
b62 900. and he pointed out the fixed
charges on these securities would be
S1,061, 100. The petitioners figures
OF gross income. ne contended,
should be reduced TO SIPS, OO2 TO
provide the three percent deprecia-
ito nallowance usually prescribed by
the commission. This gave a deficit
OF S334,I97. he said. adding that the
amount would be increased to
$425.OOO if the figures Of Harry
Boggs, chief accountant for the COM
mission, were used in the analysis.
For the commission to allow an
eight percent return on a valuation
OF SIS, $4,000. the minimum amount
OF securities that would be necessary
for the corporation to issue, Mr..
Johnson said that the deficit would
be S59S.957 under the petitioners
figures. and $6S9,129 under the Boggs
figures.
