UTILITY HEAD is
DENOUNCED FOR
HIS FINANCING
Three Federal Judges Hear
CuthbertSon Defend Rate
Cut Order.

High utility finance, as practiced
by George II. Alexander, now under
Indictment in Knox county for per-
jury in connection with testimony
regarding his opertion of the Vim
cennes Water Company, was scored
today in federal court by Harry K
Cuthbertson, public service COM
missioner.
The commissioner defended his
order reducing the rates of the
Frankfort Heating Company OF
which Alexander is owner, general
manager and treasurer. This is the
first time a commissioner has ever
appeared in behalf of his own order.
The commission in January
ordered a reduction of rates from
SO to 30 cents on each square foot
Of radiation.
The order, however, stipulated
that if the company kept up it's an
nual $1,000 depreciation fund, the
rates would be reduced only to 80
cents.
Three Judges Hear 1t
Alexander, through his attorney,
Clyde E. Jones, obtained a tenn
porary restraining order. Feb. 1,
from Judge Thomas Slick of South
Bend, sitting in the absence Of
Judge Robert G. Baltzell.
Hearing today was on the motion
to make the restraining order a
temporary injunction, with Judge
Will Sparks of the circuit court of
appeals sitting with Judges Baltzell
and Slick.
Cuthbertson charged record re-
veal that Alexander took 100000,
which accumulated in the deprecia-
ton fund, and paid it out in
dividends. He also charged that,
beginning four years ago, the $1,000
annual depreciation fund was
placed In the personal account of
Alexander as treasurer of the COM
pany and it had been used by him
to purchase the stock so that to-
day, he is the sole owner.
The commissioner pointed out
bat Alexander had been collecting
1880 a year While acting as gen.
1ral manager of his own property,
and a resident manager, who did
the work, had been paid approx
imately 500 month.
Cut to Only $4,000
"After the issuance of our order
the company-which means Alex
ander-cut the general managers
annual salary only to $4,000 in the
face of our stipulation that it be
$1,000 a year." he said.
Cuthbertson introduced testimony
and records to show the heating
company sent to Boston for an ap-
praisal engineer, who spent three
days at the plant, and after a
"cursory" examination, placed the
new construction cost Of the plant
at $462,330 and the reproduction
cost, less depreciation, at $424, 100
call for the purpose of obtaining
higher rate from the consumers"
1.-THE company then placed a
charge of 81 200 upon the books for
the appraisal, all to be borne by the
consumer, which the commission
disallowed as being too high and
now we find that it is carried at
$780," he stated.
Jones argued that the 80 and 35-
cent rates were tconf1scatory and
that the commission was attempting
to penalize the company for not
carrying out the order regarding a
depreciation fund.
The case was taken under ad-
visement.
