GRAINS ACHIEVE
SLIGHT ADVANCES
Wheat, However, Meets Sell
ing on the Upturn,

81 United Financial
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Grains scored
slight advances at the opening OF the
Chicago Board Of Trade today.
Wheat met heavy selling following
an opening slightly higher than Satur-
days close. Some of this was for
profits by last weeks buyers, the re-
maInder by December nquidators. The
possIo.nty of a delay in the conven-
ing of Congress and consequent delay
in the Presidents address. together
with heavy world shipments, had a
beerish effect on sentiment.
Opening with a strong undertOne,
corn weakened when wheat turned
weak Although receipts were lighter
than expected. outside news Of bear
ish construction kept buyers off the
market.
Trading in oats was dun and on an
unchanged basis. Most OF it was in
changing operations with elevator In
terests the principal participants.
Provisions opened higher with bet
ter hog markets and stronger cables.

The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Congress was
the synosure of Wall Street eyes at
the start Of the new week. Knowing
the constructive policy of President
Coolidge, the financial community was
confident that Ms message would con-
tain many bullish points. This belief
was expressed in the buOyant tone in
the whole market in today's early
trading. Studebaker, Can and other
leaders went to new high ground for
the current upswing while substan-
tial gains were scored by many spe-
cialties.

Stocks in the general list continued
to display marked buoyancy in the

fluctuations in Dawson Chemical and

Noon Hour
Activity was at rather low ebb n
the noon dealings as the result of the
late mornings setback and such trad

spectators were favoring the selling
side, temporarily at least. Many trad

to await the outsome of congressional
developments this week. No doubt

structive attitude Of President Coo

on how Congress would line up be-

ers continued reactionary, but some
sections of the market displayed per-
sistent strength.

Saturday averaged 93.15, up 81 per
cent. Twenty active rails averaged

SAFETY IS UP TO DRIVER
Hoosier Motor Club Puts Problem Up
to AutOist.

Asserting that railway crossing safe
ty is up to the individual motorist or
other vehicle driver and that until the
millenial comes when all grade cross
ings are separated, the matter Of
safety is a strictly individual and per-
sonal matter, the Hoosier Motor Club
in a safety bulletin just issued, urges
an immediate adoption of this attitude
on the part of every one.
"Our idea is that drivers had better
be a minute late at their destination
than ten years ahead of time at the
Pearly Gates" says the bulletin. I'm
the matter of compulsory stops, which
would include even the so-called wide
open crossings" it is conceivable that
such law would be burdensome and
lend itself to more violations than OBJ
servance."

GRON|NGERLOCKS
HIMSELF Up TO
FINISH PETITION
Water Rate Rehearing to Be
Sought on Basis Of Higher
Charges to Civil City.

Centering his attack on the policy
of the Indiana Public Service Com
mission in deciding an order in
creasing water charges to the civil
city without advance notice and q
thorough investigation Of the evidence
leading up to such changes, Taylor
z. Groninger, corporation counsel.
today set to the task Of compiling
the petition for a rehearing Of order
granting the Indianapolis Water
Company valuation of $15,264, 900 and
increased rates netting 100000
year.
Groninger, with the petition about
one fourth completed locked himself
in his office and prepared the docu-
ment which will be presented to the
commission late Tuesday or Wednes-
day morning. An immediate denial for
a rehearing Is expected from the
commission.
Fight May Go to Court
The fight then will be carried to
the county courts, which will weigh
ell the evidence of the case to deter
mine whether or not the commission
shall reconsider its decision. If
grounds for such action is discovered
and the commission maintains its or
iginal stand the court may issue a de-
cree setting aside the order handed
down last Wednesday, if it sees fit.
The company. In asking for by
drant rental changes which make an
increase Of from $50 to SIS a month
for each hydrant, said nothing about
the method Of determining the
charges on hydrants in the petition"
Groninger said.
They introduced this new method
Of inch-foot instead Of the old method
based on the cost Of the hydraunts ana
the connections. No one suggested
the inch-foot method at the hearings.
Furthermore, in the petition
nothing was said IN regard to cisterns.
No valuation was mentioned. They
didn't ask for charge when it came
to free services.
Action Arbitrary"
Our contention is that the COM
m ion arbitrarily has fixed charges
without the due process of law. Ev-
cry person interested has a right to
know what has been done and why.
The changes brought about by the
commissions order are pointed out as
follows:
l. No change is made in the rates
Of fiat rate consumers in about 10000
homes.
2. The city's fire service and large
industrial and business concerns must
( bear the burden of the increases which
the company declares win bring tho
cost up to the amount u is costing
; them to produce.
/ 5. Flat rate consumers who have
been paying less than rs cents a
month must now pay at least this
amount, since 1t is the minimum rate.
4. The monthly minimum meter
charge for small. consumers Is reduced
from $3.50 to 1.40 a month.
