Friday was in doubt as a result Of
the action of the city commission
Thursday in %abolishing the office

Mayor A. B. Cole at the regular

Ford, appearing before the COM
mission, said:
You will have to increase assess

CITY UPHELD
IN GAS CASE
Good Faith Is at Stake,
Says Engineer.

Good faith demands that the
original contract providing the city
take over the Citizens Gas Company
shall be carried out to the letter,
Russell T. MacFall told Indianapo-
lis Engineering Society members
Wednesday night at the Sphinx
Arms.
MacFall gave these reasons why
the city should own the gas COM
pany:
Good faith demands that the
trustees, directors and city officials
unite and cooperate in good faith to
carry out the contract for the beae-
fit of the people.
Because the people of the city
have large sum invested in a need
ed utility.
Because the city must retain the
ownership and control of the gas
plant and property of the Citizens
Gas Company to guard and protec
the people of the city against ar
unwarranted increase in gas rates.
Citizens who bought stock in the
gas company during its organiza-
ton we're not motivated by a desire
for profit on their investment. They
we're, instead, acting with the pur-
pose of building a gas company
which would produce gas for In
dianapolis consumers at a reason
able rate" MacFall reported on
behalf of a special committee study
ing the case.
LeGrande Marvin was renamed
president and Daniel B. Luten, sec

RAILROAD SURE
BOULDER DAM
WILL Be BUILT
Survey of Trackage Starts
Months Before States
o Ratify Compact.
BY GEORGE SANFORD HOLMES
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON Jan. 3.-Al-
though the actual construction OF
the Boulder dam is many months
away, due to the necessity Of rati-
.fication of the Colorado river COM
pact by at least six states, the
Union Pacific railroad apparently
entertains no doubt as to the ulti-
mate success Of the measure.
-1CarI Gray, president of the Union
Pacific, has already notified FL
wood Mead, commissioner of recla-
nation, both by wire and letter, that
the Union Pacific will survey the
railroad spur Of forty miles, which
win lead from main trackage to
the site of the structure.
This will relieve the government
of an undertaking requiring funds,
time and the use of department en-
gineers. One of the superior quail
fications for the Black Canyon site
Of the dam emphasized in the re-
port by the special board of en-
gineers was the fact that the terrain
was suitable for railroad purposes
practically to the very site of the
project.
The site is about forty miles dis
tant from Las Vegas, on the Los
Angeles short-line branch of the
Union Pacific.
The significance of the action of
Gray is that survey work directly
connected with the construction of
Boulder Dam will be under way at
once by Union Pacific location en-
gineers.
. incidentally, DR.. Mead has been
busy contradicting report trans
mitted by a press association to the
effect that an engineer in charge of
the construction of the Boulder
dam had been appointed.
The report is entirely unfounded
and did not emanate from this de-
partment," he said. mo supervising
engineer will be appointed for
months, until the Colorado river
compact has been ratified and the
dam becomes an assured project"
ioW. L. Savage will design the dam.
- On the return of Secretary West
from Chicago after the new year,
DR. Mead will send out the letters
of invitation to the seven-state COM
pact to be held, in Denver, March
16 to 10, to consider utilization of
the waters Of the Colorado.

FIGHT PRIMARY
LAW CHANGES,
PETERS URGES
Outlines Five Way Program
at Conference With
Democrat Lawmakers.

Opposition to Republican pro-
posals for primary modification was
asked of Democratic state senators
and representatives. today by Demo-
cratic State Chairman r. Earl
Peters, at conference at the Clay
pool.
But the Democratic chairman EN-
joined minority legislators not to be
obstructionists and not to favor or
oppose measures merely for partisan
reasons.
Five conclusions reached by the
chairman after conferences through
out the state were impaired to the
assembled senators and representa-
tiveS.
81. That substantial majority of
Indiana Democrats favor liberal ap-
preparations for the support of our
educational institutions.
80. That rank and file Democrats
and Republicans alike favor legisla-
ton designed to simplify the cleo
ton machinery by complete sepa-
ration of state and national tickets
in presidential elections.
"3. That large majority of mem
bers of both parties oppose repeal
or modification of the primary law.
Il. That our citizens favor suffi-
Gent appropriations for the strict
and indiscriminate enforcement of
all laws.
IS. That while taxpayers general
ly demand substantial appropria-
lions for the promotion of educa-
tional and other institutions, they
demand the strictest economy in
the administration thereof"
Democratic legislators will not be
obstructionists nor favor or oppose
measures for merely partisan rea-
sons, Peters declared.
Size Up Candidates
The conference, following
luncheon, furnished the twelve
Democratic senators and twenty
representatives opportunity to size
up candidates for minority leader
ship in both houses.
Fabius Gwin of Shoals was first
on the scene, advancing his candi-
dacy for minority leadership in the
house. DELPHI L. McKeeson of Ply
mouth, also is seeking the place,
while friends of George L. Saunders
of Bluffton are suggesting his name.
Joseph M. Cravens, veteran SEN
ator from Madison, and Andrew E.
Durham of Greencastle, were lead
ing in the speculation for minority
leadership in the senate. Cravens
was making no active campaign for
the post, but was regarded willing
to accept it.
Gottschalk Not Eager
Thurman A. Gottschalk of Berne
figured by some as a contender, was
unable to attend the meeting. 1t
was believed, however, that he was
more eager to remain ranking
minority member Of the senate
finance committee than to assume
senate leadership.
Peters and legislators declared
they would make vigorous fight
for a share in the "spoils" OF the
plumber committees which control
the employment of stenographers
and minor positions in both houses.
