DUBLIN, Ind. Aug. 20. - A re-
newal here OF bitter fight between
Khan and anti-Klan factions of
two years ago is expected at the
town election this fall AS an issue,
the Khan is involved in a dispute
over electric light rates.
During the high point of Klan
power in Indiana, the entire board
of trustees of Dublin, and also the
town marshal, were klansmen. Two
years ago William Riser, the last
Khan official, was removed from con-
troll when he was decisively defeated
for trustee by Samuel P. Snyder.
At this years election two members
of the present board will retire, due
to expired terms and the Khan is
expected to put two candidates in
the field with which they again
hope to resume control of the towns
affairs.
Asked Rate Reduction
Last August the Khan presented
q petition to the state public serv-
fee commission requesting a reduc-
ton of the town-owned electric
light plant. This followed a VOL
untary reduction which the board
had previously made. On June 6
of this year the petition was heard
By members of the commission,
which ordered a cut of but y cent,
effective July l. The new rates did
not become available until July ID
and could not become legally effec-
tive until the boards next session
which was held Aug. 5. In the
meantime bills had been sent the
consumers at the old rating and
several of the Khan faction refused
payment. Henry French, town
marshal, Monday removed meters
from the residences of those who
refused payment. A court fight
seems likely as a result.
Trustees contend it would have
been impossible to apply the new
rate as handed down by the COM
mission until they had officially
ratified and adopted it at regular
session and that could not be done
in time to apply the rate starting
July 1. The anti-Klan faction claims
the move has been inaugurated by
the Khan so that it will have bear
ing on the election.
Official Accused
Two years ago, while Riser was
member of the council, Henry
French, the marshal, discovered
that Riser had been using the
towns electric power for some time
without the current being registered
on his meter He promptly cut the
wires and later Riser paid to the
town an estimated amount to cover
current used. Notwithstanding this,
Riser sought reelection and was
defeated.
Town elections here practically
hinge on the Office of marshal, now
held by French, a World war vet
eran who is the only man in the

States distinguished service cross
