than 5000 new custmoers in 1925,
a second lists some 1900 new service
connections, while a third provided
service to 4,400 new consumers. The
various companies now serve from
$4,000 to $4,000 customers, these
figures showing the widespread use
in this city of modern conveniences
and necessities.
Provision of service on such a
large scale naturally requires heavy
investment, expert management and
the employment of many people.
Some idea Of the magnitude Of the
utility industry in Indianapolis may
be had from a statement tof the
taxes paid by he local companies. In
1925, Indianapolis utilities paid in
city and county taxes, a total of
81, 100000. This is roughly one-tenth
of the taxes collected at the Court
house. Approximately 1000 wage
earners are employed by the local
companies, whose joint pay roll, if
assembled, would be found to COM
prise huge fraction \of the city's
money turnover.
Good Service
Indianapolis utilities are willing
to stand on comparison OF the serv-
ices supplied in this city with the
services in other progressive Amer
lean communities. They are conf
dent consumers here are served as
we'll as consumers elsewhere, and
even feel that Indianapolis service
is better than the service in many
other cities. AS far rates charged
the consumers, Indianapolis rates
are generally below the average in
other cities Of similar size, and in
no case are they above the aver
age"
Kirk reviewed several of the more
notable construction programs I'M

said that interurban, electric and

city with the rest of the State also
have been active. In fact, he said,
the year has been marked by build
ing activity Oh the part Of utilities
throughout Indiana.
Among improvements made by the
local companies during the year was
a 100000 gallon daily capacity
addition to the water company's
filter plant, with two new pumping
units, each having a daily capacity
of 100000 gallons. The water
laid some thirty-three
miles of new water mains.
