Rate Cutting
Cheers Shank;
MOre!' Says He
No More Parddes, Promises
Mayor, if Trimming Policy
Is Continued.

II believe II they'll do that right along
there will be no more parades to the
Statehouse," ssid Mayor Samuel Lewis
Shank today when informed the public
service commission had reduced electric
light and power rates in Indianapolis.
Corporation Counsel Taylor T. Gron-
niger, who represented the city in the
hearings which resulted in the decrease.
also expressed pleasure at the reductions,
stating that he would liked to have seen
more Of cut in residence rates but the
decrease made was step in the right
direction.
Il want to congratulate Mr. Gronin-
ger on the fight he put up. He's a real
fighter, that fellow" said the mayor.
And I want to say further II the public
service commission would take a few
more steps like this 1t would have the
confidence Of the people, and there would
not be so much questioning of its acts 3"
Mr.. Groninger particularly was pleased
by the commissions order eliminating the
complicated rate schedules of the two
electric utilities and substituting four
price lists instead. This was one of the
moves which the corporation counsel
particularly favored in his brief sub
mitted a few days ago.
One of the corporation counsels
pointed statements in this brief was, Let
the loquacious super-expert understand
he must not revel in the pomposity of
sesQuipidalian verbiage. Electricity Is a
mystery. Why make electric rate sched-
dulles more mysterious than electricity
itseIf?"
Commenting upon the simplihcatoin Of
the rate schedules, Mr.. Gronlnger said
he was glad the complex schedules were
to be eliminated because they led to dis
honest practices and kept all but those
with technical educations from knowing
what they were getting.
The mayor was gratifed because the
first cut in the rate of any public utility
since before the war has come in his ad
ministration.

AALOhAIT HOUR
HALF CENT CHEAPER.
The new residence rate viii be cents
a kilowatt hour net, where bills are paid
between the first and tenth day Of the
month. This is a reduction of u cent
a kilowatt hour from the old rate, and
is based on an active room basis. instead
of an active socket basis, as heretofore,
and is for the first five active rooms The
rate is obtainable on the use of fifteen
kilowatts a month, and is u cent more
where bills are not paid before the tenth
day of each month. A minimum charge
of 81 a month or 90 cents without the
penalty is authorized by the commission.
The four classes include the residence
rate. the optional light and power sched-
ule, commercial light and power sched-
ule, and the large primary power schad-
ule.
Few complaints are anticipated by the
commission on the new schedule, 1t was
said, and the complaints expected will
come from larger power users, who have
had the benefit of rates considered dis
criminatory and against the interests Of
the majority Of light and power users
Had these power users been obtaining
power under the authorized schedule Of
the commission previously, they now
would be experiencing a cut in their
rates. Instead, some undoubtedly will
feel an increase, because the special pref
erence rates given them were lower than
the new schedule which the commission
intends the power companies shall en-
force.
SPECIAL CONTRACTS
ARE DENOUNCED.
Each company has entered into spe-
cial contracts with certain consumers
without the approval of the commission"
the order sets forth. 1.-The published
schedules authorized by the commission
have been disregarded, special rates to
certain consumers not authorized by the
commission are in effect constituting
gross discrimination. There has been
keen competition between the utilities
for the electric business Of the city
Such competition has not reduced rates
to the general public for a duplication
Of utility facilities is economically un-
sound and wastefuI and the public bears
the burden. This competition, however
has benefited certain large consumers
whose business is so desirable that agents
of the utilities have attempted to outdo
each other in stretching the provisions
of the published schedules and sometimes
in their enthusiasm have forgotten the
published schedules entirely"
The new schedules follow:

dition to the first five, but not less than

the inventor was an American
named Goble half Cobbler and
half missionary, who first suggest

version mentions Daisuke Akiha oil

the rapid growth in popularity Of
the m1n-drawn vehicle.
