Commerce Tonight,

City councilmen are having
the smoke abattment ordinance
rewritten to conform to their
own ideas, it was learned today.
The new measure will be introduced
Monday night if it is possible to draft
a satisfactory ordinance by that time.
Walter Wise. president pro tenn. Of
the council. said today.
1--WE are for smoke regulation. but
we object to the salary provisions, the
advisory committees, the exemption
of railroad locomotives and other sec
tons of the measure" said Wise.
Meanwhile a last minute fight to
save the present measure was sched-
uled at the Chamber of Commerce to-
hight when civic club leaders meet.
Councilmen unanimously decided to
reject the ordinance as II now stands
in committee at a meeting in the office
Of Wise, Thursday night.
I'VE are not going to give up"
said E. o. Snethen, president of the
Federated Civic Clubs today. city
ceuncilnen will be asked to attend
this mass meeting, and If they don't
it will show they are not interested
in city welfare"
Gordon D. Rowe. chief smoke in
spector Of Cincinnati. will address the
meeting and tell how Cincinnati has
eradicated the smoke nuisance.
City councilmen indicated they
would not attend. Plans have been
made for a big delegation of citizens
to attend the council meeting Monday
night as a protest
COuncilman's Charge Denied
MANY Objectionable features are in
the smoke ordinance. and it viii never
be passed in its present FORM" Coun-
Gilman Heydon Buchanan declared to-
day. Buchanan attacked the ordi-
nance because Of the expense and
what he considered as inconsistency.
1T provides that every home have
a smoke consumer, yet If we attempt
to put them on railroad locomotives,
the fight will be carried to the public
service commission and lost" said Blu.
chanan.
eff locomotives aren't included, It
Is useless to regulate residences"
Civic club leaders, however. point
out that this is untrue. Homes are
not required to have smoke consum-
ers, under terms Of the ordinance, 1t
is pointed out.
The ordinance was drawn up by
professional engineers, approved by
business men, and legalized by law
yers.
Ordinances Of thirty cities where
the smoke plague has been reduced
were used in drafting the revised
ordinance.
''It seems that the council is pick
Ing minor flaws In the ordinance" ;"
said Snethen today II think they
didn't want to pass it and used some
excuse. We will continue to wage
an educational campaign until it is
passed"

FORCE CHARGED IN
HEARING ON WATER
Opposing Attorneys Accuse Each Side of Efforts to ntm
date Commission.

Charges from both sides that efforts
had been made to intimidate the pub
lie service commission today fea-
tured the oral arguments before the
commission in the case in which the
Indianapolis Water Company is ask
ing for increased rates.
The second day of argument was
opened by Sumner Clancy, an attor-
ney for civic organizations.
''I ask that the commission wholly
disregard the possibility that the COM
pany will go to the Federal Court
II it does not obtain a satisfactory
order" he said. MI. McInerny. at
torney for the company, threatened
to take the case to the Federal Court.
He did this to intimidate the commits
sion.'
Company Attorney Replies
Fred Bates Johnson. an attorney
for the company. hurled a counter
charge of intimidation.
"An attempt has been made on the
other side to intimidate the commits
sion," he declared. "An attempt has
been made to arouse public sentiment.
The case has been tried through the
puolic press where 1t has been mis-
represented.
9"I choose to take the more
charitable view that Misrepresentation
in this case has been the result Of
ignorance. But the effect is the same
as If it had been done with malice. ;"
In his argument, Clancy objected
to what he called theoretical figures
and mental gymnastics" on the part
of representatives of the company.
There has been a studied effort
to avoid facts which did not serve the
petitioners purpose" he said. Should
not a utility play its cards face up?1
johnson denied the water company
is insisting on the highest possible
valuation.
