CUTS
IN CITY WATER
POSSIBLE
Indication Is That Reduction
Will Be Upheld, With
New Slash Likely.

Fate of Indianapolis Water Com.
pany consumers, in regard to per-
manent rate reductions, rests today
with members of the public service
commission.
Final testimony in the case was
completed before the commission
Friday afternoon.
Company attorneys were giver
until Monday to file a brief support
ing their effort to restore and retain
high rates, and opposition attorneys
must file their final reply by Thurs
day.
The briefs were ordered by Com
missioner Howell Ellis, presiding
and who will write the permanent
rate order.
Further Cuts Possible
1t appeared that all reductions
made by the emergency rate order
of the commission last spring will
be retained and further reductions
also may follow.
Telling blows were dealt the COM
pany evidence by witnesses appear
ing at the call of the city admin
iStratiOn.
Attorneys for the city, civic clubs,
and apartment house owners fought
the legal battle to reduce water
rates.
Evidence offered by the city stood,
without rebuttal, when the case
closed.
Members of the Indianapolis Real
Estate Board had testified that land
valuations set by the company we're
double the proper appraisals, while
other testimony showed values on
buildings were excessive in all in
stances by Is per cent and in some
cases more.
6 Per Cent Held Ample
Dick Miller, former bank presi-
dent, testifying as an Investment
broker, said that a per cent re-
turn would be ample to attract al
capital needed by the water COM
pany.
Company experts had argued fol-
an 8 per cent return as being neces-
sary to attract capital at this time
Miller was put on the stand by
A. B. Cronk, attorney for apartment
house owners.
Cronk's colleague, Attorney Harry
K Cuthbertson, former member OF
the public service commission, and
author of the emergency rate reduc-
ton order, returned Harry Wenger
chief commission engineer, to the
stand as his witness.
Wenger then offered the figure OF
$31, $50 as sufficient for "organiza-
ton expense" which had been in
Guided by the company at 100000
The commission engineer stated
that this item had been included in
his appraisal with the Is per cent
levied for "undistributed construc-
ton costs" Such procedure is Gus
tomary, he said, and expressed the
opinion that the 100000 set out
for "undistributed construction
costs" by the company was ample
to include the 100000 item.
William L. Ransom, New York at
torney for the company, sought to
tear down this contention by cross
examination and Ellis questioned
Wenger to show that Cuthbertson,
and not himself, had returned the
commission engineer to the stand.

A stage of three feet three inches

some points dynamite was used to
blast gorges and make a channel.
Influenza Is Spreading
Definite indications that a mild
influenza epidemic was spreading
with the bitter cold were shown in
reports from scattered cities that
cases were increasing. The United
States public health service report
ed large increases of cases. Schools
were ordered shut in seven Indiana,
towns due to the prevalence of the
disease.
In the east sub-zero Temperatures
were reported in several localities at

In New York, the intense cold
sent thousands of homeless to

were taxed.
Only Florida Still Warm
An explanation of the cold wave.
the most severe since 1929, was Of
fered by United States Metorologist
Charles D. Reed of Des Moines. Ia.
He suggested that volcanic dust from
an eruption in the south American
Andes last April had floated over
North America, partially screening
of the suns rays. He said it would
take possibly year to determine
the accuracy of the theory.
Virtually all parts of the country
with the exception Of Florida were
affected by the cold.
Phoenix, Ariz., had the first snow
in twenty-five years. Frost was re-
ported in Los Angeles suburbs.
The central great plains area had
temperatures ranging to 20 below
zero. Gulf ports recorded tempera-
lures below freezing as did Texas
points. Raleigh, N. c., had snow
and marks not far from zero were
common along the Atlantic coast.
