BUS LINE DENIED
MERGER ASKS TO
EXPAND SERVICE
High Valuation and Car
Company'S Condition
Cause of Refusal.

With refusal of the public Service
Commission to permit the Indian
apolis Street Railway Company to
Company bus lines for $500, 900. A
Smith Bowman, president eof the
Peoples Company. announced today
that he would renew his efforts to
expand service.
My company has petitions pend
ing before the commission for lines
on Guilford Ave, to Broad Ripple,
Capitol Ave. and n. Meridian St."
Bowman declared. "Since they turned
down the street car company's petit
tion on the grounds that the COM
pany was not in financial condition
to afford such expenditure. they
should be willing to grant my COM
pany greater extension of service
needed by the public"
Price Excessive" .
Contending that $50O,000 is an ex-
cessive price and that the present
financial condition of the Indianapo-
lis Street Railway Company is not
in shape to stand it, the public serv-
ice commission Friday turned down
the company's petition to purchase.
Petition, filed April 16, asked per-
mission to purchase the capital stock
of the Peoples Motor Coach Com
pany with notes bearing s per cent
interest. Public hearing was held
where testimony was offered that
an estimated saving of $4,000 an
nually would accrue from the mer-
ger and a total net addition would
be made to street railway revenues
of s105,00O
Valuations Half
The commission order, written by
Chairman Frank Singleton, sets out
that physical property valuations
given at the hearing include $751;
31S.23 by Earl Carter. commission
engineer; $259,OO0 given as tangible
assets by Bowman, and $2SS,622.24
as bus present values given by
Harry Alexander of the Mack Truck
Company.
The difference between these valu'
ations and the proposed purchase
price is called to attention and the
order continues:
"If the proposed purchase price
were reasonable-if it were
prudent investment-the reasonable
ability Of the purchaser to pay the
consideration proposed should be
considered before authorizing the
purchase.
Cant Afford Risk"
It then points out that the lnd-
annapolis Street Railway Company
is in no position to take risks and
sets forth the fact that s per cent is
required on such large loan be-
cause it is considered hazardous.
Further attention is called to the
Bowman testimony that he started
the business in 1928 with a capital of
$45, 900 and that the annual net
profit has been $4,000.
Whether or not the street railway
will make further efforts to con-
summate the merger Secretary
Treasurer Joseph P. McGown said
was still undecided.

DuvalI Rebuked
Following the rebuke from Judge
Collins all was quiet in connection
with Mayor Duvall's recent attacks
on members Of the prosecuting staff.
Duvall in his first letter to the court,
accused Remy OF malfeasance in
office and said the prosecutor has
entered into conspiracy to ruin"
him.
In his second epistle he said he
could not receive fair and i'm.

the States staff, because he had
practically forced the latter to re.
sign from the park board early in
the administration. Collins did not
answer Duvall by letter, but in a
statement to the local papers de-
clared the administration Of the
Criminal Court will not be carried
on by correspondence.
Regardless OF the situation, Duvall
continues to declare he may file
affidavits against Remy and several
others.

fidavits it is believed they will be

For health and hope and heart to say,

In which the will of God is done"

For strength that held the long

Of him who strives thy will to do.
And though the task that 1 have

Transcends my hands unaided

I thank thee for this mighty

That all the wonders to be wrought
Lie hidden in thy perfect will.
