MOTION ASKING
DISMISSAL FILED

A motion asking The public service
commission to dismiss the petition of
the Citizens Gas Company for a $1.25 gas
rate was fled by T. Ernest Maholm to-
day on behalf of the Telephone Patrons
Union, organized recently to oppose an
increase in telephone rates. The motion
is based on a statute of 1907 limiting the
indianapolis gas rate to 60 cents a 1000
cubic feet.
The motion probably will be heard
when the hearing of the petition is
started, April Is, according to L. C..
Loughry, secretary of the Public Serv-
ice Commission.
The 1907 statute was held invalid by
the Indiana Supreme Court in the case
of the Indianapolis Street Car Company
limiting fares to four cents, and has
since been declared invalid by the United
States Supreme Court.
Members of the Public Service Com
mission say there is no question as to
the jurisdiction Of the commission gov
erning the case.

Then, With Bang, He Orders

Instructions not to send a single or

to the city council in the next nine
months, were verbally delivered to all de-
partment heads, by Mayor Shank to-
day. The mayor has been in high dug
geon over the councils opposition to adj

if ordinances were properly explained

The mayor went right on. however:
"Of course there's no antagonism. I'm
not bucking the council. I'm FOR IT, Save
the peoples money. Let's make this a
banner year. I wish the council would
get together and repeal 80 per cent OF the

way"

that he had advised a concern whicr sold

Corporation Counsel Taylor E. Gron-
niger today resisted strenuous efforts Of
Mayor Shank, Controller Joseph L.
Hogue, Engineer John L. Elliott and
other city officials, to have him agree to
start proceedings, which would throw
the Citizens Gas Company into the hands
of a receiver, because it has petitioned
the public service commission, for an
Increase in the gas rate from % cents
to S125 a thousand cubic feet.
The controversy arose In the mayors
monthly cabinet meeting, which broke
up with the mayor still insisting that
if any way can be found to break" the
utility it shall be done. Mr.. Groninger
stuck to an announcement that he in
tends to handle the problem by asking
the public service commission to force
the gas company TO sell the 100000 tons
of coke it has stored, thereby meeting
the financial obligations which the utility
contends can be taken care Of only by
the increase in rates.
The mayor expressed regret that when
he was mayor ten years ago he signed
his approval of the merger OF the old
Consumers Gas Trust Company and In
dianapOlis Gas Company into the present
Citizens Gas Company and declared that
he now believes IF you haven't got COM
petition you're just in the hands of
gosh DANCED walloper.
He pOunced upon a statement OF John
W. McCardle, chairman of the public
service commission, printed in a morning
paper, TO the effect that utility rates in
Indiana are lower than in other places
That statement is just paving the way
so he can raise the rates of this gas
said the mayor. Say, I'm
going TO burn that public utility law up
from now on in every city IN which l
speak I'll bet you my life that gang
won't be holding office a year from today
unless they turn in and do something for
the people"
The mayor said he has an idea the
Democrats are going to put repeal of
the public service commission law In
their platform, land the Republicans
had better too if they want to win"
Mr. GrOninger argued long and elO-
quently that if he were mayor he would
not want TO prejudice any utility" and
that rather than starting suit to break"
the gas company he preferred depending
upon 1.-THE constituted authorities at the
StatehOuse."
Dog gone the constituted authorities"
shouted the mayor. That's the State
of Indiana over there and this is the
city of Indianapolis. We might as well
