WHO WROTE THE ORDERS
Attaches of Utility Commission Should
Receive Credit.

Some Of the most important orders
Of the public service commission dur
ing the last few months have been pre-
pared by attaches of the commission
and not by the commissioners them
selves, it has been learned.
One of these orders, it has been
pointed out, in which strong safe
guards for the public were inserted,
was one approving petition OF the
Northern Indiana Gas and Electric
Company to buy capital stock and
bonds of the Peru Gas Company. Al
though the securities were sold for
1921, 900, the commission limited the
book value Of the equity to $137,590.
This order was written by a man n
the accounting department. 1t is
known. Some time ago credit for the
order was given to Frank Wampler-
a new member of the commission.
