AS a result OF the decision today
Of the United States Supreme Court
sustaining the $19,000,000 valuation
of the Indianapolis Water Company
allowed by Federal Judge Ferdinand
A. Geiger, present water rates in
Indianapolis will continue.
After the Indiana public service
commission late in 1923 granted the
company a S15,26O, 400 rate-mal1ing
valuation, the company appealed TO
Federal Court on grounds that the
resultant rates were conflscatory.
Judge Geiger was named special
judge to hear the case.
Throughout the hearing the com.
pany contended for a $4,000 900
valuation and increased rates based
thereon.
When the local utnility scored in
Federal Court the city OF Indian
apolis and the public service commits
sion countered with an appeal TO
the United States Supreme Court.
Oral arguments of the latter appeal
were heard before the Supreme
Court last summer. Both the State

JURISDICTION ATTACKED
Case Which Body Followed
Is Cited.

Electric utility officials are not fol-
lowing the law in their attempt to
merge the Indianapolis Light and
Heat Company and the Merchants
Heat and Light Company, Frederick
Z. Matson, representing the Cham
ber of Commerce, charged at the
hearing on the merger this morning
before the public service commission.
The petitioner in the $4,000, 600
merger case, the Indianapolis Power
and Light Company, has not com
menced operation, has no assets or
property and therefore is not pub
lie utility within the meaning of the
law, Matson declared.
Therefore the commission has no
jurisdiction to authorize the merger,
he asserted.
Cites Case
In support of his contention, Mat
son cited the case of the Flat Rock
Hydro-Electric Company decided by
the commission in 1924.
Attorney Gener Il U. S. Lesh al
that time ruled that the mere in
corporation of a company promising
to supply light, heat and power does
not make it public utility and that
therefore the public service commits

pier and Oscar Rats, following the
ruling of Lesh on the Flat Rock case,
denied the petition for lack of juris-
diction.
Says They Are Identical
1t was Matsons contention that
the Flat Rock case is identical with
the present case in legal import.
The entire commission heard ar
guments this morning on a motion
made by Matson Friday attacking
jurisdiction Of the commission. The
arguments continued this afternoon.
IF the commission overrules the
jurisdiction motion, it will take UP
petitions OF the Chamber Of Com
merce, Federation of Civic Clubs,
and large power users that the
merger hearing be continued to allow
those opposed to prepare their
cases.

There is a bullet hole in
the wall of the lobby of the
Indiana National Bank,

was from a gun kept at the

bandits.
But, as far as is known,
there has been no bandit in
the bank recently. A
janitor, cleaning up in the
bank Sunday night, opened
a closet door and the gun
fell out and exploded.
