Company rate hearing before the pub

Municipal ownership was taken up
when Edward w. Bemls. engineer for
the city. testified rates in most cities
are lower than in Indianapolis and
that most water plants are municl-
pally owned.
Privately owned companies are
likely to make the difference in rates
greater between large users and small
consumers than publicly owned sys-
TENS, Bemis said. Publicly owned
utilities are inclined to charge small
consumers less and large ones more.
Stand On Our Feet
Cities which own their own water
plants do not try to earn returns~on
surplus and on appreciation in the
value OF land. The movement In most
cities IS toward having water depart
ments stand on their own feet
In a majority Of cases they do not
attempt to pay any share of taxes.
On the other hand, they do not often
charge cities for hydrants. This in
most cases counteracts advantages
from not paying taxes and from other
help given by cities.
THE public, in cases OF publicly
owned utilities, gets the benefit OF re

Bemis declared private companies
have great difficulty in competing
with municipality owned utilities be-
cause the latter do not have to pay
return on depreciation. He also de-
clared municipal plants, because Of

Girls who come from homes that
are troubled by financial difficulties
probably will get the most consideca-

into families possessed with plenty
have difficulties too, which the
scouts endeavor to correct.
The convention, which will be held
at the WGrdman Park Hotel. will be
preceded by a week of intensive train
ing in scout leadership at the Manor
Club just outside of Norbeck, Mary

Representatives from almost every
large city in the United States will be
present. There are go councils in
the organization, but in many smaller
cities there are no organized councils.
and many of this latter class of cities
will be represented too.

his home, the old man went fishing
early yesterday morning to Skaters
