Plan to Look Over City Fig
ureS Regardless of
\ Mayor Shank.
ATTITUDE IS HELPFUL
William Fortune Says Only
Desire Is to Aid in
Saving.

The civic affairs committee OF
the Chamber of Commerce will
investigate the 1924 city budget
whether Mayor Shank desires il
to or not, William Fortune, chair
man of the committee, declared
today.
Shank, stating he thought the
Chamber of Commerce unfriendly to
him, said he would submit the budget
to a general citizens committee
rather than the chamber.
Fortunes statement:
THE attitude of Mayor Shank
shows that he is evidently under a
mistaken impression The civic af-
fairs committee for years past has
studied the city budget with but
one idea in mind-that of being
helpful TO the city officials in bring
ing about a wise expenditure Of
city funds.
City's Money Saved
This committee has given a great
deal of study TO the budget and has
exercised care in making only such
recommendations as We're beneficial
to the people of the city In the
years past. as a result Of the rec
concentrations of the Chamber of
Commerce committee. great savings
Of city money have been accom-
phshed We desire, along with all
other citizens, the most careful con-
sideration as to what it may be
possible tc properly save this year
We assume that the mayor himself
has the same aim.
THE city budget is not a private
matter. It is as public as anything
can be. It Is Of interest to every
citizen who pays taxes.
THE chamber of Commerce occu-
pies a public position. It has many
public duties, and assistance to city
officials in determining a wise course
in the disbursement Of public money
is one Of its functions.
Not Antagonistic
The civic affairs committee Of the
Chamber OF Commerce has no motives
Of antagonism toward the present
city administration We wish only to
be helpful in accomplishing the same
thing that we suppose Mayor Shank
IS attempting to bring about The
committee has not yet been appointed
but It's members viii be chosen be-
cause Of their fitness to advise on
subjects Of expending public funds.
IF Mayor Shank wants impartial
assistance in accomplishing hYs
announced intention Of seeing the
funds of Indianapolis properly ad-
ministered, we stand ready to be
helpful TO him and his administra-
ton. as in the past we have been
instrumental in bringing about ma
terial savings of the pubLcs money.
but the committee will make its
investigation even il the mayor
does not give his cooperation in it's
work"

Hagenah testified the going value"
Of the company's property is $1,000
0O0 On discrimination by Taylor
z. Gronlnger, counsel for the city, he
admitted that this was his personal
opinion and that 1t was not based on
the history Of the company. This is
ono Of the values on which the COM
pary is asking rates and Is included
by Groninger in the list Of '1ancHul
figures" involved in the case.
Not Based on Costs
Another one OF these 'fanciful
figures" is 100000 included in the
valuation for water rights. Hagenah
testified that in his opinion the water
supply rights possessed by the com
pany are worth that much. He ad-
mitted he had not taken into consid-
GRAFTON the actual cost. If any, Of
these rights.
This figure is not based on costs, ."
he said. When questioned he replied
the figure is based on his personal
opinion.
Still another Of the so-called fan
ciful figures" is $235 900 charged TO
working capital On cross ss-examina-
tion Hagenah said the figure Is based
on his opinion and not on the amount
the company has on hand as working
capital The figure also includes. the
witness testified, the estimated value
of material and. supplies on hand.
Bills Paid In Advance
Groninger pointed out that most
water consumers pay their bills three
months in advance and asked if
Hagenah took that into consideration.
After making a long speech he said
Il was taken into consideration so far
as 1t was reflected in the records he
had examined.
There were repeated near arguments
between the witness and Groninger.
Hagenah was inclined to make long
explanations and Groninger was in
clined TO cut him short.
Hagenah on cross-examination said
he had valued the canal at s1.79S,000.
He said the original cost and the his
tory OF the property were not CON
sidered.
Pay Not Disclosed
Clarence e. Weir. an attorney for
consumers, asked Hagenah if the rate
payers will be expected to pay for his
services. The witness replied the cost

Municipal ownership of the In

Launching by Mayor Shank of
a city movement to buy property
of the indianapolis Water Com
pany called for these statements
from civic club officers:
JOHN F. WHITE. 1545 Lexing-
ton Ave. president Southeastern
Improvement Club: am very de-
cidedly Of the opinion that the solu-
ton Of the public utility problem is
public ownership. Regulation al
ready very largely has been a failure
and will continue to be a failure be-
cause Of the constant controversy
that arises and Will continue to arise.
all Of which is an expense to the
consumer.
WILLIAM T. QUILLIN, % N.
Temple Ave, president Of Engle-
wood Hustling Hundred: For the
last four or five years the Engle-
wood Hustling Hundred has advo-
Gated municipal ownership. My
idea is 1t should be taken out OF poll
tics. A commission OF six should
be eelcted as we do orr school board.
This board should employe a man.

ate the utility.
c. G. BAKER, POI n. Addison St,
president Hawthorne Community
Association: My inclination is to be
in favor OF municipal ownership.
Whether it would be possible or nor
in indianapolis, do not know. In
vestigation should be made to see
what it would mean to property
owners.
EDWARD o. SNETHEN, 233 W.
Maple Rd., president Federation OF
Community Civic Clubs: I believe
that for all concerned 1t would be
better for the city TO own its water
plant. AS long as it is owned pri-
vately 1t is expected to pay divi-
dends. Municipal ownership would
make it serve the people without
making any profit. I wouldn't favor
taking over the Indianapolis Water
Company at the figure they value
1t at now.

seems to me that municipal owner
