 like pouring oil on the shoulder ing flames of resentment in the

A long line of taxpayers formed outside the tax collectors office in the City Hall this morning, to get in under the wire and avoid the

 Denver to the north and from Pueblo to the south was cut of. Highways were washed out in places and. several bridges were destroyed.
 Police, aided by veterans organ
 nations, patrolled streets in un- lighted sections of the city with flashlights. After being out for
 hours, when water stood ten feet
 deep in the city power plant, elec-
 tric lights were on in perhaps half of the town. The water supply, cut
 off for some time, also had. been restored in part.
 City Manager Earl Moseley an- nounced that all of the estimated
 one hundred made homeless by the flood were cared for.
 The flood struck suddenly, catch.

 many holiday visitors, unprepared

Denver, Colo, May 31.--(UP).- Flood waters flowed today for the second time in two years in the downtown streets of this mile-high metropolis.
 Fed by cloudbursts in the rich farming area east and south of the city, normally puny Cherry Creek, which cuts almost through the center of the city, became a raging torrent.
 But the broad, deep channel cut for the creek, and buttressed with concrete against just such a flood danger, held the bulk of the turgid flow, and only trick1es of water stopped over the revetments to spcead along the low-lying streets of the wholesale district. There was no loss of life, and property damage was estimated far below that of two years ago, when driftwood fioated even into the city's union station.
 Warned we'll in advance, thou sands of Denver citizens lined the banks of the creek to watch the water enter. | Soon after authorities at Parker 20 miles upstream, telephoned 10. cal police that the crest had pass. ed that point, patrol cars roared through the residential districts bordering the creek and ordered residents to evacuate.
 At 12:45 a. n., the four foot wall of water reached the eastern limits of the city, and within a few minutes the creek ran bank full The torrent, laden with a mass oi driftwood of every kind, for a time l threatened bridges.

HOG PRICES DIP
5 TO IS CENTS
Cattle, VeaIerS Unchanged;
Lamb Values Turn
Lower.

The pork market displayed a
weak undertone in early trading at
the local stockyards today and prices
were unevenly lower than Satur-
days close. The general run was
off 5 cents while lightweights were
largely IS cents lower.
Receipts were estimated at 5000,
the largest supply on hand since
the middle of last week. This COM
pared with only 1900 hogs available
Saturday. Interest was lacking in
most divisions, especially in the
lighter classes. Few good and choice
weights sold at 1925.
The bulk, 100 to $50 pounds,
cashed in at SO to 1920, while
heavy butcher kinds, weighing $50
pounds and upward, sold at $3.50 to
$685.. Light slaughter pigs, scaling
100 tc 100 pounds, were selling at
1925 to SO, while light lights, from
100 to 1870 pounds, brought ST to So.
Packing sows held at SITS to 1925.
Holdovers were SO.
Trading was slow and mostly I'M
changed in the cattle market. with
asking slightly higher than Satur-
day. No choice steers were avail
able. Bulk was valued to sell I'M
der $11. Veals remained stationary,
selling at $3.50 down. The lamb
market showed weakness with clipped
fed western kinds largely IS cents
lower, selling at $40 down. Clipped
slaughter sheep brought 81 down.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The stock
market showed a fairly firm tone
today, although there was some hes
itation as traders waited for Su-
preme Court decisions hoping the
Pension Act case would be decided.
The first hour was fairly active
with an excellent tone. Trading
quoted and showed no particular
increase when call money rate was
lowered to Il of l per cent, the
lowest rate in the exchange his
tory.
Rails particularly were active but
the trading was nervous. Atchison
opened fractionally higher and
jumped nervously around the pre-
vious close. Union Pacific had more
than a point gain at the opening
and then receded to a fractional
decline. New York Central was IS
improved at 1872.
Silver shares underwent profit
taking, U. S. Smelling giving Ia
points to 1922. Rubber shares
hrmed on indications the threatened
strike might be averted, Goodyear
advancing 3 to 1878. Leading in
dustrials held close to the previous
close.

the present plant and to reimburse
the city for expenses incurred in
arranging for the taking over of the
company.
Despite the new capital which
has come into the treasury of the
Citizens Gas Co. in the intervening
years and an increase in gas rates
charged to consumers from SIS cents
to S1.05 a 1000 cubic feet w the
same period the company finds it
difficult to show earnings sufficient
to meet dividends on the common
stock.
ONE other transaction which
~ sought to bolster the position
of the company was taken in 1914
with the signing of a lease with the
Indianapolis Gas Co. BY this con-
tract the Citizens Gas paid out to
Indianapolis Gas, as a rental, close
to S500,0 900 yearly and, in return,
received the right to S and oper-
ate the latter's plant and facilities,
which included the gas mains.
Thus, we find that in the face of
the several millions of dollars which
investors have placed into the Cit
liens Gas Co. a few years after the
company was formed the company
has complete title to only 337 miles
Of mains. The other $50 miles of
the entire indianapolis gas main
system represent the property of
the indianapolis Gas Co. bondhold-
ers by virtue of a first mortgage.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-15

Twenty-eight years ago the city
would have needed 81 ,000, 900 to &C
quire the gas company. Today it
needs $4,000, 900. That is quite a
difference. Especially when you
haven't the $4,000. 900 and you have
to borrow it. In the latter case you
have to pay interest on the money
you borrow, and the SO, 900, 900 be-
comes much more than that before
you have the debt paid off.
Why has the 1000. 900 grown to
100000? Well, it's this way. At
the outset the Citizens Gas Co. CAPT.
talization consisted of 10000 shares
of SIS par common stock, or S 1,000,-
900. Today there is outstanding in
the hands of the public 80, 900 shares
of common stock, or $4,000, 900; TO-
900 shares of 500 par preferred
stock, or S $1,000, 900, and $4,000, 900 or
5 per cent bonds. This brings a
total stock and bond Indebtedness
of SIS, 300, 600.

Subsidized Housing Goal
of Bill Before Congress-;
Billion in Bonds Aimed
New Agency Would Take
Over Present Division
of PWA.
By Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, April Is Sub
sidized housing for the neglected
third of Americas city jewellers is
the goal of a bill just introduced
by Rep. Henry Ellenbogen Cd, Pa.
The bill would create a United
States Housing Authority. which
would take over the present Housing
Division Of the Public Works Ad-
ministration.
The measure is backed by the
Labor Housing Conference, which
has an afiliation with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. It's re-
ception by the administration is
uncertain, although previous policy
has been against subsidies except
to a limited extent in subsistence
nomesteadS and rehabilitation of
rural families.
U. S. Guarantee Urged
The legislation would authorize
issuance of bonds up to a billion
dollars, with the government guar
~anteeing principal and interest. The
money might be used in direct Fed
eral construction of loW-coSt houS-
ing or in assistance to private in
vestorS willing to accept a limited
return.
Subsidies, which the sponsors of
the bill regard as essential if low
income families are to benefit, would
take the form of a moratorium or
REMISSION of interest payments
where necessary.
The Housing Authority would be
governed by three $10,000-a-year di-
rectors. Local taxes would be paid
except where the localities exempt
low-cost housing. Fair prevailing
wages" for construction labor are
specified.
Only large-scale projects would
be eligible, and profit speculation
would be guarded against.
Does Not Conflict
Mr. E~llenbogen, who considers
Administration housing policies in
adequate, said the bill does not in
volve conflict with private industry
because the intent is to provide
housing for people not being helped
from that source.
THE building industry" he said
years ago became a highly specu-
lative, f%uctuating and luxury trade
catering only to the more fortu-
nate. The depression has brought
an almost complete stop in produc-
ton of new residences and there
r few signs of renewed activity
even with an acknowledged housing
shortage"
Senator Wagner Cd, N. W re-
Gently prepared a bill establishing
a permanent Housing Division in
the Interior Department, but indi-
Gated he would not introduce it if
low-coSt housing was provided for
under the work-relief bill. An al
lotment of $3.50, 600, 900 for slum
clearance and low-cost housing has
been tentatively made under that
measure.
