Bath Water Plentiful,
Utility Company Assures
Drought Has Not Endan-
gered Aqua Pura Sup
ply, Officials Say.

Battle, drink (water), and be
merry, citizens of Indianapolis -
your supply of aqua pura is stand
ing up nobly under the drought.
Armed with formidable figures
and charts and fortified with the
knowledge that their plant never
really has been taxed in recent
droughts, officials of the Indianap-
oils Water Company gave this mes
sage to the sweltering public to-
day.
White river, badly shrunken as
it looks to the lay eye now, still is
gushing two and a half times as
much water day as the city used
Friday, it's peak in this drought.
Indianapolis consumed 100000
gallons Friday. This is 100 gallons
a person.
The United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey gauges just above
the water company's Broad Ripple
dam showed stream flow of
1O4,O00,000.
In addition, sixty 40o-feet deep
auxiliary wells have an 100000
capacity. Friday, these wells sup
piled 100000 gallons so that act
ually the river had to give only
100000 of its 1O4,000,000 gallons
stream flow.
The lowest figure recorded for
the stream flow is 59,40O,0OO gallons
in August, 1882. The highest de-
mand recorded is 55.670,OOO in Au-
gust, 1881.
Company officials say they can't
prophesy what would happen if
there we're three completely rainless
months this summer. They OBJ
viously are not worried, however.
We've never really been taxed
in the last decade, which included
the bad droughts of 1880 and 1881"
they point out, land, the wells 49,
100000 gallons alone constitute half
of an ordinarily hot days supply"
Company records show that peo-
pie use most water between 6 and
7 hot nights, what with lawn
sprinklings and after office heat
baths.

COMPANY FILES
EXCEPTIONS TO
WATER REPORT
Two Principal Points Made
by Attorneys for
Utility Firm.

Attorneys for the indianapolis
Water Company yesterday filed in
federal court 142 exceptions to the
report by Special Master Albert
Ward which recently set $40, 282, 900
as the company's rate-making value
and which recommended dismissal
of the company's injunction suit
against the public service commits
sion.
The exceptions, the large number
of which was caused by the form
of the Ward report, made two prin-
cipal points.
First, the company objects that
the master arbitrarily employed
varied and shifting bases for de-
termining the value of physical
properties and the amount of de-
probation.
Second, the company excerpts to
the finding that there has been no
upward trend in costs since April /,
1888, as of which date expert wit
nesses testified, and that there was
nothing to indicate such a trend III
the near future.
The firm of Baker & Daniels,
company attorneys, contended the
courts long have taken cognizance
of trends such as, they say, now
exist because of governmental
stimuli.
These points were raised in con-
nection with specific figures SGT by
the master on various company as
sets.
The company excerpts to the ST.
849,16 set by Mr.. Ward as land
value, saying this should be no less
than $3,007,000. On some parcels
there were no exceptions. On 9TH
ers, the masters value was as much
as three times lower than that set
out in the exceptions.
In excepting to the Ward figure
of $2,443,728 for operating revenue.
the company set a h2ure of not
more than $2,353, 444, with a gross
income of not more than $1,206,000
as contraSted with the Ward figure
of 1924, $3.50. The gross income is
most important in rate-making.
The Ward figure of $1,171 ,535 for
operating expenses was excepted to
on the ground that it was too low
and not properly reached.
Exception to Mr. Wards finding
of $1,564,241 for going value was
taken on two points. First, that he
had figured it on deprecated prop
critics rather than on the recon-
Struction cost, new, and, second,
that he had failed to include in the
base for figuring going value the
$2,411, 100 of undistributed construc-
ton cost.
The company accepted the Ward
figure of $191 500 for machinery and
supplies in figuring capital, but ex-
copied to 100000 for "other CAPT.
tal," saying the figure should be
100000.
It set its water rights at not less
than 100000 in excepting to Mr..
Wards figure of $358,605, and put
its organization expenses at not less
than 100000 in exception to his
$135, 900.
In excepting to Mr.. Wards method
of determining the value of phys
ical properties, the company at
torneys charged that he took the
lowest figures three-fourths of the
time, accepting company witnesses
figures only when they were lowest,
and not consistently accepting any
one engineer as best qualified to
testify. A similar objection was
made in the matter of deprecia-
ton.

Odom Reveals Guardianship
Situation to Probing

By ItfH6S Sp6CtuG1
WASHINGTON, June mo-
where else in the United States were
guardianships of insane World war
veterans so mishandled as at
Marion, Ind, the house investigate
ing committee was told today.
This opinion was given the COM
mittee by Edward A. Odom, chief
counsel of the veterans administra-
ton in charge of guardianship.
He told the committee that as
general rule the administration pre-
ferred to have banks handle the
estates, as they found this better Tor
the veterans than when personal.
guardians were appointed.
The Grant Trust and Savings
bank at Marion, however, lost thou
sands of dollars for the veterans
estates by purchase of sour secur-
tiles from an affiliate, he said. The
evidence before the committee today
included relation of how bank di-
rectors bought $4,000 in bonds for
one veteran in the Superior Body
Corporation in which they were
also officers. The bonds we're then
in default according to the testi-
mony, and the trust officer objected
to their purchase.
The hearings will be continued.
