Local Autonomy Abolished
If insult Merger Goes
Through, Claim.
ILL OFFICIAL TESTIFIES
Property Retaliation Only
Change Method, Says
|. B. AndruS.

Abolition of all principles of
local autonomy in rate making will
be effective if the $70,OO0,O00 insult
utilities merger is approved by the
public service commission, it was
testified by an insult official at q
| special hearing today.
Under the insult plan, as out
lined from the witness stand by
L. B. Andrus, vice president of the
Central Indiana Power Company.
all towns and cities Of the same
classification and served from the
same power pool must pay similar
rates.
No rate change could be made
upon petition Of single community
without revaluation of all proper
ties involved in the power pool,
under the insult plan.
Relief Expensive
According to former Commission
er Harvey Norman, Princeton, chief
counsel for the opposition in the
merger case, this system of rate
making will leave local communities
and citizens almost wholly without
relief, except by an expensive and
roundabout process.
Andrus defended the idea, how
ever, as being the best method of
avoiding discrimination between
communities in the matter of cleo
trio costs.
He asked for the special hearing
today so that he might go south for
his health. He has been Ill for sew
eral weeks.
Regular resumption of hearings in
the merger was set by the commits
sion for March II.
Cites Kokomo
Andrus took the stand to testify
in defense of the valuations of vari-
Gus local community Standby
plants. In many instances these
are needed both for power and heat,
he pointed out. Kokomo was cited
as a particular example.
Harmon then brought the testi-
mony around to the Martinsville
rate case, which he heard more
than a year ago when a member of
the commission.
Petition in the case was intro
duced in evidence. 1t was signed
by Andrus, as president of the Wa
bash Valley Electric Company, an
insult concern involved in the pres
ent merger.
In this case, the idea of standard
lied rates first was advanced and
Andrus at once proceeded to give
it his approval.

PARIS, Feb. 25.-Premier Camille
Chautemps asked a tense and rest
less chamber today for vote of
confidence in his new left wing con-
centration government.
ChautempS presented a program
so similar to that of the late gov
eminent of Andre Tardieu many
deputies wondered why the cabinet
had been changed at critical mo-
ment in negotiations at the Lon
don conference.
The temper of the chamber of
deputies which the Radical Socialist
premier faced was dangerous. The
hostile right and center factions
filled their portions of the benches,
indicating that Chautemps could
hope only for the left wing to give
him a slim mapority.
