CLARKE TO PUSH
HOLDING PLAN
Continues Effort to Merge
Light Firms.

Harley L. Clarke, Chicago utility
magnate, seeking to merge the two
Indianapolis electric power utilities,
is proceeding with his plan to unite
the organizations under one holding
company. Clarke has been in the
city for two days, since he refused an
offer to compromise on a $40,000,000
valuation, instead> of $55.000,000
made by the Chamber of Commerce
committee.
Clarke has asked the public serv-
ice commission to rule on the valu-
alton before Jan. 10 so he would not
forfeit a contract with an eastern
banking firm which agreed to sell
the 55,000,000 securities for the
merger. The commission granted a
continuance of the hearing until
Jan. 81.
The holding company plan to
which Clarke is resorting, is in effect
a merger. with the exception that
bonds are issued on the stock of
the two companies and not on the
properties. it is understood. Clarke
objected to this resort, 1t is said. be-
cause of the higher rate of bond in
terest on the lesser security.
