out the extent to which this reaches
into Canada's major political par

mo CONFIDENCE
VOTE is GIVEN
UTILITY FIRMS
Indiana Mayors Repudiate
Use of Therm as Unit of
Gas Measurement.

Mayors and other officials from
fifteen Indiana cities and towns as
sembled in the house Of representa-
tives today to voice, in the name Of
Hoosier citizenry, what amounts to
vote Of mo confidence" in insult
and other big Indiana utilities OPP
orators.
The occaSio. ~as the public serv-
ice commission nearing on use Of
so-called therm unit Of gas meas
urement in seventy-seven Indiana
towns and cities and rural districts
Of eight counties.
Investigation of therm use was
launched by the commission. The
hearing is in charge Of Commits
sioner Howell Ellis.
Examiner on Stand
Throughout the morning, william
j. Gunther, who conducted the field
investigation for the commission,
occupied the witpess stand.
Upshot Of his testimony was that
the change to therms from cubic
feet has made no difference in cost
Of gas to the average consumer, but
1t takes a technical expert to fig
ure out a common gas BILL
In concluding his findings, he said
consumers do not understand the
therm and ARE suspicious Of its
use by the utilities"
Robert NJ. Feustel, F't. Wayne, In
sulls Indiana chieftain. and other
big shots" in the utilities involved,
we're on hand to hear the evidence
and listen to condemnatory declara-
tons from mayors and other spokes-
men.
To Get Their Chance
They also will be given a chance
to defend their therm program and
TO explain why they buy gas whole
sale on the cubic foot basis Of meas
urement and insist on therms for
their retail sales.
Those opposing the therm will
quote the 1901 statute requiring
plainly read meter devices for gas,
which also is a clause in the Indi-
ana utility law.
Under the therm system. the gas
is measured in cubic feet and then
automatically converted to therms.
One therm equals 100000 B. T. u.
One B. T. U. is the amount of heat
needed to raise one pound of water
one degree Fahrenheit.
Feustel previously has explained
that the therm system was created
to prevent loss to the company
when switch is made from low B. T.
U. artificial gas to high B. T. U.
natural gas.
Gunter discovered the therm is
being used in places where there is
no immediate prospect of natural
gas being available, he said.
The result is confusion and dis
content, he asserted.
Ten companies are employing the
therm unit of measurement, ma
jority of which are insult owned.
Gunter conducted Investigations
at Michigan City, Hammond, New
castle, KokomO, Richmond, Elkhart,
Goshen and Warsaw.
At Michigan City he said he found
industrial rates had been decreased
80 per cent by the therm measure
ment In no city were any raises
in billings reported, and the protest
is based on the grounds that the
therm is something mysterious the
utilities created and therefore it
likely will turn into some new
scheme to gouge the consumer.
At the opening of the hearing it
was predicted that the commission
will vote to prohibit the therm sys-
