This assertion was made
today during the investiga-
ton of the local utility by
the public service commits
sion and The Times.
Hearing of an order to show cause
why electric rates in indianapolis
should not be reduced has been set
by the public service commission for
Feb. l.
Even with this large reduction
utility experts assert, the light COM
pany would be capitalized more
heavily than the local water and
gas properties.
Comparative figures disclose the
so-called unenviable capitalized po-
sition of the indianapolis Power
and Light Company, with the local
gas and water companies.

for the last five years of the proper
ties of these companies together

A peculiar thing is that Azucar

Susie Succumbs, a Victim

CLEVELAND, December 1.@Suf-
fering from Caesarin operation and
saddened by the death of her litter of
three kittens, 9-year -olld Susie, proud
Bengal tigress, died today in a Cleve-
land ZOO.
Her entire life spent in captivity,
Susie had failed to develop sufficiently
to give a noraml birth to her kitten
trio, veterinarians said.
Two veterinarians worked 10 hours
last Wednesday to deliver the first
two of the tigress' kittens and then
called Dr. K K. Goekjian to perform
the operation to deliver the third.
For two days Susie rallied slightly,
but perintonitis finally set in.
Last night DR.. Goekjian and the
other two veterinarians, DR.. Clifford
Wagner and Harry Roberts, continued
the fight to save the tigress by in
jecting in her veins a solution of
dextrose, acrif1avia and salt.
Early today, however, Susie died.
In another cage nearby her mate,
Mojah, was the only witness of her
death.
The veterinarians expressed the
opinion that her life in a cage just
feet wide and IL feet long was the
principal factor in the underdevelop-
ment of the captive animal.
