WATER PETITION
OUT OF ORDER,'
LESH CONTENDS
Utility Should Seek Relief in
State Instead of u, S,
Court Says Motion.

Motion to dismiss the petition of the
indianapolis Water Company for an
injunction against enforcement Of the
new water rate schedule was filed in
Federal Court today by Attorney Gen.
eral L. S. Lesh for the public service
commission.
The commission increased rates.
The company contends the increase
was not enough.
Lesh attacked the injunction pet-
ton on these grounds:
/. That Indiana law fully provides
for appeal to State courts for purpose
OF questioning validity OF a public
service commission order and hence
the water company should resort to
State courts first.
2. That the complaint of the utility
shows on it's face that the rate order
is not cCnfiscatory Of property but
Will produce a fair return upon a rea-
sonable valuation Of the water prop
erty used for public convenience.
Lesh had planned TO attack the
petition also upon the ground that
the city has pending before the COM
mission a petition for rehearing upon
the rate order and hence the case
tefore the commission is incomplete
and an appeal to Federal Court by the
utility is premature. Upon request Of
the commission he omitted this, it was
said.

some of the buildings they occupy are
unfit, judged by modern standards.

opportunity to look into the details
and to study conditions"
Yoke said: I'VE are not familiar
with the details of the proposed high
school construction program. We were
not informed OF 1t before we came in
TO office. We are responsible for the
expenditure of the money required to
carry it out and we feel that we
should be given a chance TO know just
what we are doing before we go
ahead"

Immediate action should be taken to
