COLUMBUS, Ind. June 20. - A
complaint by L. H. Harmon that in

on the fiat rate basis. brought Vir-
gil o. Shepard, director of service
for the Indiana public service COM
mission TO Columbus and after a
two-hour conference with city Off
Gals, he left the matter in their
hands for settlement.
However, Shepard told officials
that if it is true the fiat rate con-
sumers are paying less for service.
the situation must be changed, as
the commission is opposed to dis
elimination.
For some time, the municipallv
owned water department has been
ordering installation of meters for
all new patrons. At present there
are about 500 meter patrons while
2,5O0 persons pay on a fiat rate
basis. Shepard said that so long
as two bases for charging are in
effect, the city is without authority
to dictate which one a consumer
shall use.
1t is believed likely that the city
council will take action soon to clear
up the situation.
