Commissioners
STAY REOPENING
OF WATER CASE
MCCardIe, West Refuse to
Reconsider CuthbertSon
Order in His Absence.

Immediate reopening Of the In
dianapolis Water Company compro-
mise rate settlement case has been
checkmated by Chairman John w.
McCardle and Commissioner Jere
West of the public service commits
sion.
Meanwhile, numerous water con-
sumers are receiving the sad news
that their bills are higher and pro-
tests are being registered daily as
monthly billings are received.
At the commission conference
Friday afternoon, Commissioner
Howell Ellis sought to have the case
reopened. His motion was seconded
Immediately by Commissioner Frank
Singleton.
Await CuthbertsOn's Return
Then McCardle and West refused
to vote. The matter was discussed
and they held that no action should
be taken until Commissioner Harry
K. Cuthbertson returns from the
Home Lawn sanitarium at Martins
Vile, where he went for a rest after
effecting the water and electric rate
agreements.
Ellis announced, however, that he
is continuing to gather evidence to
show $4,000 water consumers have
had their rates increased without
a hearing and that gross revenues
Of the water company will be in
creased under the settlement.
Two Hold Revision Illegal
Both Singleton and Ellis refused
to o. k. the Cuthbertson rate order
on the ground that to increase rates
without hearing is Illegal.
This point may be tested in the
courts, if further relief is not forth
coming from the commission, it is
predicted. For citizens who have
suffered increases are aroused and
are planning suit or refiling OF a new
rate reduction petition.
The compromise agreement saves
the city $4,000 on its water bill and

rate from $3.50 for TOO cubic feet
to S1.O8 for 500 cubic. 1t was con-
tended at the hearings that 100000
minimum consumers would be
benefited.
$4,000 Get Increase
Benefit, if any, would be financed
by increased step rates to consumers
using between TOO and 10000 cubic
feet, which it is estimated affects
at least $4,000 consumers.
A compromise water settlement
for Franklin, arranged by Singleton,
was approved by the commission.
The city is served by the Interstate
Public Service Company.
Singleton said that under the
agreement cuts were made by COM
promise and no raises effected with
out hearings.

NEW YORK, May 21.-The plan Of
two prominent American industrialists
for solving the war debt problem with
out reductions or cancellations but by
transfers of goods when needed las
made public today by Magnus w. Alex
ander, president of the National Indus

1t is the plan of 1renee du Pont
chairman of the Finance Committee of
E. l. du Pont de Nemours & Co.. and
George H. Houston, president of the

milton of the fact that intergovern-

times and that in normal times repay
ment cannot be made without dislocat-
ing the commerce among nations" DR..
Alexander said.
Transfer Is Difficulty.
"The problem of transferring the
sums from the debtor countries to the
United States is the main, if not the
only. difficulty. Since we do not wish
at the present time to accept payment
in commodities, and since outright can
collation. is not in the interest OF the
United States, they (du Pont and Hous-
on suggest that our Government should
not give up its claims, but should not
call upon its debtors to discharge their
obligations to us until the payment can
be made in the form of goods and
services At some time in the future
the United States may be faced with
critical situation when it may urgently
need the materials and services OF our
foreign debtors.
"At such time. payment on account
of war debts could be made to us with
out creating the transfer problem. Our
debtors would then be called upon to
deliver to us such goods and services as
we may require up to the amount that
enabled them to buy in the United
States with the help of our loans

While the United States is not one OF
