JURY TO
HEAR FACTS IN
PRINTING BIDS

pendltures and the stopping of excessive
buying OF county supplies will aid In
obtaining a reduction Of the tax rate
which is described here s being the
highest in the State in comparison to
the size OF the county.
The hold" that the WoOdburn Printing
Company has over the county printing
and kindred supplies has been recognized
for wears. 1t is said this company has
for more than ten years been known as
the 'favorite" printing concern for coun-
ty supplies.
The keynote of tho situation lies in two
sources of the county administration
with the county commissioners and the
county auditor The records show that
so far il makes little difference whether
the commissioners are Republican or
Democratic. WOODBURY. has secured the
printing contract year in and year out
for n long period The result has been
that competition practically has been
stifled
This condition of affairs resulted in
Holland and Hutchinson, field examiners
for the State board of accounts. under
taking about six weeks ago a complete
inves tigation of the county printing sit
uation This investigation has resulted
in what is said to be voluminous re-
port.
The printing contract for 1920 was
awarded by County Commissioners Ran
som Phillips, Democrat; Thomas j.
Mulvhill Democrat. and Elijah Reed Re
publican, The board now consists of
Reed and Phillips and Harry Willis.
Republican. This places the board in
the hands of the Republicans for the
first time in years.
wOoDBURN HAD
OWN BIDDING SCHEDULE.
1t Is pointed out here that in the past
the WOODBURY. Printing Company had its
own schedule and method of submitting
bids for the four classes of printing and
supplies which are used by the county.
This schedule contains the prices for
hundreds of articles and supplies and
is supposed to control the price Of all
supplies purchased and under the con-
tract. the WOODBURY. company has the
exclusive right to furnish all supplies.
This method practically gives the
printing company free hand in supply
ing the offices and the courts with
printed supplies The only curb ap-
pears to be in the appropriation made
for public printing by the county council
each year. 1t is pointed out here the
council often in the past made addi-
tional appropriations for printing.
1t is understood the report of the ex-
aminers points out that excessive sup
plies have been furnished various offices
of the county and it Is known the ex-
aminers investigated the grades Of the
material furnished and compared the
prices Of other firms which are indie
pendent of the interests and DONNA
ton" Of the WOODBURY. company. 1t Is
said the prices accepted hJ the coInty
commissioners have been in many In
stances much higher than those at which
independent concerns could have fur
nished the same supplies.

VALUE GOES
Up AND DOWN.

William j. Hagenah Of Chicago, an
engineer, who testified yesterday mora
Ing as to his theories of the value Of the
property of the Merchants Heat and
Light Company Of indianapolis, con
tinued on the stand in the afternoon. He
estimated values on the basis Of an in
veutory made IN 1917, but using price
averages prevailing during various years
as follows: On basis Of present prices,
Si0.JO0.00O on basis Of 1920 average
prices, 7,277 coo; on basis of 1919 aver
age prices, S15.0000o0; on basis Of 1918
average prices. Sl3.1JO, 900; on basis Of
1917 average prices. sl1,5OO,OOO
The respondents then placed in evil
dence a 1919 valuation made by M
Hagenah ON the basis Of the 1917 in
ventory which showed a valuation Of
only S9.a36,oS2. Mr.. Hagenah protested
that there was an error I'm this valua-
ton and that it was not made on the
basis Of 1919 prices. but on the basis OF
prices covering a period Of years He
asked permission to correct the error
and was told to file an additional ex
hibit
At this point, Charles Mcpherson. at
torney for the new corporation, objected
TO the tactics used by Fred Bates John
son. former member Of the public
service commission. and now employed
the city Of Kokomo. He objected on the
ground that NJ. Johnson was asking
questions concerning cities other than
! KoSomo. Mr.. Johnson replied that what
, interested one city involved in the mer-
ger interested all and the commission
sustained him.
WANT SECURITIES
ON PRESENT ESTIMATE.
Mr.. Hagenah. I'm answer to a question.
said he would not have advised the
issuance Of securities on the 1920 estimate,
but that he would advise such action on
the present estimate. In reply to another
question he said the size OF q securities
Issue need not he reflected in rates Fol
lowing a series Of additional questions Of
valuation he declared that the value Of
the Merchants Company Is around SILL
10000. and You can't get away from it
on any theory" He admitted however.
this valuation is $4,000 in excess Of his
spot" price estimate.
Henry Knah, auditor and treasurer Of
the Merchants Company, testified that
since the 1917 inventory was made the
company has made additions costing
Sl.570. s07.25. He said this is the actual
cost Commissioner George Barnard in-

ALLEGED CONFTsCATORY
ACTS ARE SET OUT.

Acts of the commission which, it is
charged have the effect Of cOnhscatiug
the property Of the telephone company
are related al length. Among them are
the following:
The commission refused to take into
consideration SjJ000 expended for bet
terment of service and additions to the
plant from March 81 to date Of the
hearing
The commission refused TO take into
consideration $4,000 expended for ma
terials for improvements during 1921. or
1928. 900 which will have to be expended
for materials and extensions in 1922, the
period covered by the rates set 10y the
commission
The commission refused to take into
consideration the operating expenses for
the irst three months of 1921 and it re-
duced the figures for actual necessary
expenditures for 1921 by S90.OO0. although
there has been an increase of 5000 in
operating expenses.
The commission compelled the company
by its order TO charge all costs and neces-
sary repairs in excess Of S4O93471 to de
probation. although the amount for the
first seven months Of the year amounted
to SOL. 435. The company estimates this
one order alone will result in the con
fscation of at least si7,23673 for the
year
1t is further alleged that the commits
sion refused 70 permit the telephone com
pany to charge the Federal income tax
to operating expenses and it also re-
fused to permit the company to charge
to this account the discount on the $500.
900, per cent. three year notes author

SAYS PLANT NU ST
BE REHARuITATED.

That the property Of the company is
over grown and fully saturated is an
other statement made in the complaint.
This is explained by statement that the
plant is being operated to Its utmost
capacity, that it must be rehabilitated
and rebuilt and that to do this will cost
about S1.GO0,OOO
BY the refusal OF the commission to
take into consideration the specific items
mentioned above the company has been
prevented from financing Itself or OBJ
tanning credit for the rehabilitation Of the
property, the complaint recites.
A fair valuation Of the property IL
set at 81 ,65O,939.O0 on Aug. /. according
to the complaint. On this valuation the
company now Is earning less than one per
cent and faces an actual operating de
tcit for the fiscal year ending Aug. /,
1872. the complaint sets forth.
The commission, it Is charged, unless
restrained by the Federal Court. will
enforce the provisions Of the Shively

excessive penalties provided by this act
will result in irreparabIe injury to the
property Of the company"

MANY AWAIT RETURN
OF JUDGE ANDERSON.
As an immediate restraining order is
asked the case probably will go over
until Judge Albert B. Anderson returns
from his summer home at Burt Lake
Mich. which will be late in September
or early in October. II is possible Judge
Francis E. Baker of the Circuit Court
Of Appeals at Chicago. or Judge Ferdi-
nand A. Geiger. district judge at Mil
waukee, might be called upon to hear
the case at a special sitting OF the court
should an immediate hearing be de-
manded.
ID view of the fact that a large num-
her Of utilities now have petitions pend
ing before the commission for increases
In rates or for rehea rings where those
increases have been denied, the outcome
Of this suit is being watched with more
than usual interest.
The suit was filed by Hayne 4 Mote

Paul =. Hayne. formerly member OF

Bright Is Winner
Over Sam Seiger
Ia Twelve Rounds
Brooklyn Boys Early Lead
and Strong Finish Earn
Decision of the Judges

Harvey Bright, the Brooklyn medi-
cal student, was awarded the judges
decision over Sammy Seiger, of New
York, in a furious twelve round bout
at the Palace of Joy Club, Coney
Island, last night before capacity
house. Bright piled up an early lead,
and though Seiger took the advantage
in the sixth and seventh rounds
Bright came back and maintained big
advantage until the end.
Bright's hard body blows in the
opening rounds completely wore out
his New York opponent, so that he
was completely winded at the end of
every round. Seiger made continuous
claims Of foul, but the referee did not
uphold his protests, and ordered him to
continue.
SO furious was Bright in his early
attack that Seiger barely escaped a
knockout in the fourth round He tore
IN at the tap of the gong and ripped
rights and let's to the face, forcing
Seiger to hold. Seiger was in a groegy
condition and was just saved by the
bell.
seiger, weighing 1877 pounds, seemed
a triae overweight. Bright's weight
was announced as f241a.
Sammy Stone was awarded a techni-
cal Knockout over Joe Cronin in the
fourth round of scheduled ten round
bout, when the latter was disqualified
for hitting low. Referee Andy Griffin
warned Cronin three times, and was
finally forced to disqualify him in the
fourth. Jack Harris was awarded thu
decision over Charley Rose in an un,
interesting six round fight

Mrs. Mallory
In Final Round
AT CeClarElurst
National Champion Defeats
Miss Bayard and Will
Face Mrs. Raymond To-day

Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory
national champion and playing through
cup holder in the women's invitation
lawn tennis tournament on the turf
courts of the Rockaway Hunting Club
at Cedarhurst, worked ner way into
the final round of the singles yester-
day by defeating Miss Martha Bayard
of Short Hills, N j., by score of
6-3, e--2. in the semi-fnal round.
Mrs. Edward Raymond, of Hartsdale
N. T., won her place in the other final
brackets by defeating Mrs. Charles "
Hitchins, of Mexico City, by score
of 81, &c, 6-3, and she and Mrs
Mallory will meet this morning for
the Cedarhurst Challenge Cup, which
the national champion already has won
twice.
Mrs. Spencer Fullerton Weaver, of
the West Side Tennis Club, paired with
Mrs. Raymond, went into the final
round of the women's doubles by de-
feating Miss Leslie Bancroft and Miss
Marion Chapman at Go, e, 6-3, in
semi-hnal match, Mrs Rawson L. Wood
and Mrs. Hitchins defeated Mrs G. L.
Chapman and Miss Helen Gilleaudeau
by score Of GO, 6-3. The doubles
final will be played Immediately after
the finish of the singles to-day.
Miss Bayard did her best against
Mrs. Mallory but that was not good
enough, by a considerable margin, to
offset the champions greater speed
and power, and in a match that was
almost fought out from back court,
Mrs. Mallory swept ahead to victory
that was fore ordained. When she had
made sure of her openings, Mrs. NAL
lory occasionally closed in at the net
to finish off her points by well-played
volleys.
Mrs. Raymond and Mrs. Hitchins
were so closely matched that there was
little to choose between them, and
both played splendid tennis all the
way, with Mrs. Raymond bit more
accurate in her placing toward the
close. Her accuracy forced Mrs.
Hitchins to expend lot of strength
in chasing after the ball, and this told
in the final set
Mrs. Weaver, Mrs. Hitchins and Mrs.
Wood performed brilliantly at the net
in the doubles matches, while Mrs. Ray
mond and Miss Gilleaudeau guarded
the backcourt WELL and there were
MANY stirring rallies before the
matches were finished.
