against statements by Mayor Shank,
Groninger and others. said:
1.-THE order speaks for itself. There
has never been real valuation on
this property until we made 1t this
time.
There was a tentative estimate
made IN 1917. The increases granted
the water company subsequently were
because the company needed add
tional revenue and the commission
based a tentative value on the prop
erty using the figures Of 1917.
During the war the company was
given temporary relief in the time
of rising prices. but the commission
withheld valuation until the time
after the war when conditions became
normal.
Twelve Per Cent Increase
"By Withholding a. valuation the
commission was able to place lower
rate for consumers"
McCardle pointed out that the com
pany sought a % per cent Increase in
gross revenue. THE order calls for
a IL per cent increase"
1t was learned that before the pres
ent order was announced the commits.
sion asked w. A. McInerny, chief
counsel for the water company, what
was the least valuation that would
satisfy the company and keep it from
going to Federal Court. 1t is under
stood that McInerny replied that
$4,000, 900 would be sufficient for him
to recommend that the company re.
frain from court action.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-11-30

gives the Water Company increased
rates bringing an additional $500, 900
annually in revenue is too high; that
100000 is the very peak of the
company's valuation, including all
OUTLAWS and additions since 1921. The
dissenting opinions of Commissioners
Artman and Wampler, who voted
against the order. are expected to
play part in Groninger's actions.
Differ on Figures
Artman, it is said, would recognize
s12 600, 000Sas a liberal figure of val.
uation. while Wampler would not con.
slider s12,500,000 as less than fair
amount.
After a thorough study OF the com
missions order, Groninger said to-
day: "It looks to me as IL the order
is directed at the city of Indianapolis,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
large industrial interests which fought
the action, since 1t is they upon whom
the burden win fall
"One clause in the order says that
since the water plugs will be closer
together, there will be a great saw.
ing in fire hose. The city never has
spent more than $4,000 or $4,000 a
year for nose. The expenditure this
year was S1S.666. / cannot see where
there will be any material saving
there.
Another section makes changes in
fire protection which the public never
had an opportunity upon which To
have a hearing. One of these says
that water for fire protection shall be
charged for on the basis of so much
per inch-foot. According to the order
this will mean an increase expense of
$50. 900 a year to the city.
Another clause provides that the
city must pay for service which for
merry has been free. This includes
water used for street flushing and will
cost the city $4,000.
Both Mr. Wampler and Mr. Art
man told me they did not have an op
portunity to investigate these changes
that they were inserted in the order
at the time the decision was about to
be handed down. They were not in
there while the case was being heard. ="
Opinions Forthcoming.
Both Commissioners Artnan ard
Wampler stated today they woulI =

or Saturday on their opinions IN the
case. IF
