UTILITY RATE
CASE DELAYED
BY COMMISSION
Testimony on Consumers
Costs Is Taken by
State Board.

Hearings Of the Public Service
Company Of Indiana on a citation
before the public service commits
sion to show cause why its rates
should not be reduced, will be re-
sumed Tuesday.
Shortly before the hearings ad-
iournment yesterday, L. B. Schiesz,
company controller. : admitted in
testimony that the company prior
to 1881 purchased power at 00264
cent from an insult subsidiary and
then sold that power at twenty-five
times that rate to resident con-
sumers, thirty-three times that rate
to farm consumers, and twenty
times that rate to commercial
and twenty times that rate to COM
mercial users.
Schiesz testified that the resident
cost kiloWatt hour was O66 cent,
.096 to farm users, and .052 cent to
factories and plants.
He admitted the company owned
a one-fourth interest in the Chicago
District Generating Corporation, an
insult property.
He said that in 1881 the COM
pany sold its interest to the North
ern Indiana Public Service Com
pany and bought power in 1882 at
.0074 cent a kilowatt hour, or at al
most three times the power cost
that it had paid in 1881, before sale
of interest in the insult property.
Sherman Minton, public counselor.
then interposed with an aside:
Then the authorities in charge of
the Tennessee valey-Muscle Shoals
project-were not far wrong in the
declaration that power consumers
have been paying an exorbitant
price?
Mr.. Shiesz declared that the cost
of production was not comparable
or by fair basis of comparison be-
cause a large part of expenses of
the company was in transportation.
The power company's expert adj
mitted that the company always
opposed municipal ownership of
plants.
Perry Mozart, commission chair
man, took issue with Mr.. Schiesz
when he declared that minimum
users of electricity were improbable
and liability.
He asserted that the very fact that
the company opposed municipal
ownership was an abrogation of the
charge that the small user was an
improbable customer.

KEC BEER SALE
IN CITY SHOWS
FALL INCREASE
Gain on Bottle Average Is
Reported to State Ex-
else Chief.

Keg beer gained on the bottled
beverage in Indianapolis and vicin-
itv during the last fifteen days OF
September, but other points in the
state show a huge preponderance
of the barrel brew sold compared
to Marion county's appetite for
schooners.
Although the local brewery sold
24.O90 gallons of bottled beer to
1878 gallons of keg brew the clty's
importers in a report to Sam H.
Lesh, auditor of the state excise de-
partment, showed 37,703 gallons OF
key beer to 23,76O gallons of bottled
beer.
Kegs Lea in State
In Evansville, the Sterling Prod
ucts Company, brewery, sold 25,497
gallons of bottled brew to 62,178
gallons of barrel brew.
other points in the state range
from two to ten times as much keg
beer sold as the glass-encased
beverage.
Bottle Sales Ahead
The percentage for the state
shows that importers sold 81 per
cent bottle beer to 70 per cent keg
while the breweries' percentage was
27 per cent bottled brew to 70 per
cent in the barrel.
In turn, indianapolis and vicinity
will average approximately Sc per
cent sale on keg beer against Al per
cent on the bottled variety.
In August, more bottled beer was
sold than the keg brand in the city.
