CITY UTILITIES
RECORDS SHOW
DEFINITE CAIN
Residential Consumers U.s.
ina More Phone, Power
and Water.

Hard. cold facts from the files Of
the local utilities show that the sv-
erage citizen is pushing his way
solidly through the hard times and
beginning to enjoy those necessities
which the depression had barred
from him.
The Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany. the Indianapolis Power and
Light Company and the indianapolis
Water Company report that the res
idential consumer Is using more
telephone service. power and water.
Industry still lags far behind and
timidly. If at all. is increasing its
contracts with the utilities.
Economic experts frequently have
asserted that the charts of utility
consumption is q delicate barometer
Of public prosperity The water COM
pany now has 2,236 more accounts
than it had at the first of the
year. The power company has from
5000 TO 5000 new accounts since
Jan l and a z per cent increase in
kilOWatt hours over 1888.
The telephone company has gained
1929 new sui scribers in In
dianapolis this year
Fare Well in City
One utility official said that In
dianapolis had weathered the de-
preston as far as utilities we're con-
cerned far better than most large
cities in the United States.
"A government contact man told
me recently that his Office had been
pleased with the Indianapolis set
up. In so many other cities the un-
employed are without any utility
connections and are living in cOndi-
tons worse than the nation has seen
in several decades" the utility
executive said.
Private charity and government
relief have kept the necessities
through various arrangements with
the utility companies.
The water company reported that
IN few instances people had used
private wells and doubled up on
faucets.
Up Irend is Gradual
Every utility has noticed that the
upward trend began in 1882 and
since has been ascending slowly. The
utilities point out, however, that the
industrial accounts have not begun
to stagger out Of the doldrums.
The utilities are still very shy
about their gains because of public
feeling in some parts, caused by the
insult collapse, against every utility.
The "undoubling" of families dur
ing the last two years has been re-
ported in housing surveys. The power
company announced today that dur
ing September approximately 1000
families moved in indianapolis.
Another optimistic note is the
state report of the Indiana Bell
Telephone Company. Telephone in
stallatiOns exceeded disconnections
by $500 in this territory during the
first nine months of 1894. For the
same period last year there was
loss of $4,000 telephones.
A composite picture of the figures
given by the utilities shows that
plain John Doe once more is Cos
Siping over the telephone. burning
the lights at night for parties and
taking baths more often than Sat
urday night.

HOPKINS ACTS
TO HEAD OFF
RELIEF WASTE
Tightening Up of Supervi-
sion Started: Work Pro-
uram Is Studied.

Copyright. 1884, BY United PreSsl
WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-Federal
relief administration officials today
prepared a model cost accounting
system for state administrators in
an effort to reduce administrative
expenses before congress can begin
an investigation.
/ The United Press was informed
FERA is spending Just more than IL
I per cent to distribute its relief mil
lions to the nations destitute. Off,
Gals consider that average figure
satisfactory and said they considered
under IA per cent for overhead eff
cient management of so large an
enterprise.
officials of the FERA. it was
! learned. have been instructed to use
extra care in dispensing funds so
that there shall be no fresh cause
for denunciations such as those of
Senator William E. Borah (Rep.,
Ida).
While it has been the contention
of the FERA that the funds have
been administered consistent with
utmost regard &c prevention of
waste. the instances cited by Sem
ator Borah have resulted in renewed
pressure upon this phase of relief
activity.
Senator Borah has made it clear
that he does not charge the FERA
with graft or corruption. He has
demanded more attention to ef1-
cheney, however, and pay rolls more
in keeping with the relief work
actually done.
Combined with this economy
drive. officials are working on plans
to head off tendency. apparent in
many sections, to refuse gainful en-
ployment so long as relief funds
may be obtained.
Hundreds of incidents have been
reported where persons have turned
down jobs paying as high as IS a
day, saying they were quite content
with relief
The plans, such as a program Of
work relief, are being studied by
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and
his aids in anticipation of sharp re-
vision of relief policies.
II congressional critics are not
convinced by the time congress
meets, Jan. 3, that FERA officials
have used every effort to weed out
waste and inefficiency a relief in
Vestigation seems assured.
