REDUCTION
EFFECTIVE
MAY FIRST
Figure Is Temporary Tending
Final Valuation of Com
pany by Commission.

The public service commission
today reduced the gas rate in In
dianapolis from $1.2O to $1.15,
effective May 1.
The new rate is temporalF,
pending valuation of the prop
erty of the Citizens Gas Company
by commission engineers. This
valuation is expected to be COM.
pleted within a few weeks when
another hearing will be held and
permanent rate fixed.
1t IS understood the gas company
will institute no formal objections TO
the cut.
Follows Court Action
The cut in rates follows a series OF
legal complications starting with a
petition filed with the commission
April Z. 1922 asking for an increase
from 90 cents to SI25. The commits
sion denied the increase and the COM
pany took the case to the Federal
Court on the ground the 90-cent rate
was confiscatory.
The court issued an Injunction to
prevent the commission from inter-
fering with the collection of S1.2o
rate. Later the court ordered the
s120 rate continued until such time
as the commission should fix a rats
not confscatory.
Company Making Money
Recently the commission held
short hearing with a view to deter
mining a temporary rate. At this
hearing a financial statement was set
up indicating the gross income of the
company for the twelve months end
ing with Aug. 81 would be 1,431,-
g93.2S. After certain deductions were
made 1t was indicated. according to
the commissions order. that the in
come would be S99s, ,2164S, or a per.
cent return on valuation of s14,'
26O,235.
The commission IN its order OBJ
jects to proposed increases in the
amount set aside by the company
for depreciation and charged to the
consumer. The company declared 1t
should increase its depreciation al
lowance from $150,e00 annually to
1888. 900 annually.
The order also points out the com
pany has agreed to reduce its charges
for installing pipes and meters.
For the purpose of the temporary
order the commission indicated It as
sumed q valuation Of s16.500. 900. The
company had asked depreciation on
valuation of $17.206,s73.13.
Gas rates have rapidly ~inc1eased
IN Indianapolis during the last three
years. The original franchise rate
charged by the company was SO cents.
At one time this was reduced to SIS
cents. Then it was increased to so
cents, 80 cents. and finally to S1.20.
Coke Demand Increases
When the company asked for the In
crease to 80 cents and later to S1.25 It
indicated that increases were necss.
sary because of the failure to sell by
products, particularly coke. In the re-
cent hearing it was indicated the COM
pany could not now keep up with the
demand for coke.
1t was also shown in the recent
hearing that the company Is making a
large percentage Of water gas, the
cost Of which is some 40 per cent high
er than that Of coal gas and which
creates no by-products.
