WATER RATES
UNCHANGED BY
COURT RULING
u. S. Judge Sets Company's
Value at S21,393,821
in Decision.

indianapolis water rates will not
be changed by the ruling of Fed
eral Judge Robert c. Baltzell yes
terday. Joseph J. Daniels, chief
counsel for the indianapolis Water
Co.. said today.
The ruling. which ended litigation
started in 1882. when the company
sought temporary injunction
against the Public Service Commits
sion, set the value of the company's
properties at S21 ,393.821. and the fair
rate of return at s per cent.
The water company had estimated
value of property at approximately
S28,000000. and had contended that
a fair rate Of return on this would
be between 7 and 8 per cent.
Water rates are computed on the
fair rate of return. Under Judge
Baltzell's ruling. Mr. Daniels ex-
planned today, the company will be
unable to raise water rates now eX-
iStent in indianapolis.
Declines to Comment
He declined to say whether the
company now is earning 6 per cent
on its property. and withheld further
comment on the courts ruling until
final entry of the decree is made.
This probably will not be for several
weeks, as Judge Baltzell has called
upon the Public Service Commission
to provide draft Of special findings
Of fact and law.
The 1884 corporate income of the
water company was 81 ,270 1850. A
6 per cent return on the SCI, 393.821
valuation fixed by the court would
be 81 ,283 1926.
Litigation on water rates started
in 1882. when the Public Service
Commission began an inventory of
the companyS properties. Before
completing this inventory, the COM
mission decided that water rates
were too high in Indianapolis, and
made a temporary rate reduction.
The company then asked a tempo
rary injunction on these rates, which
was taken before three judge court.
Permanent Injunction Asked
This temporary injunction suit
was dismissed when the Public Serv-
ice Commission made a permanent
rate schedule, to which the water
company asked a permanent in
junction.
The suit later was before Albert
Ward, special master in chancery,
who valued the property at 0,282,-
143. Judge Baltzeli, in yesterdays
ruling, raised this valuation by all
lowing 40 cents an hour for COM
mon labor, instead of 80 and by
raising the water rights valuation.
These were two of the points on
which the company had based its
fight.
Judge Baltzell's ruling denied the
company right to include among
useful properties acreage near Oak
landon, bought more than five years
ago for the building of a dam in
Fall Creek. The judge pointed out
in his opinion that this action had
not been taken, and that the land
was used merely as farmland.
No further action will be taken
by the Public Service Commission,
Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr said to-
day. He said the order Of Dec. 80,
1882, which fixed the present water
rates, will stand.

Strict Measures Enforced in
Years Preceding War
of 1872.

BIZ Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Current
preparations here for clamping an
embargo on shipments of arms and
munitions to Italy and Ethiopia re-
call to historians the embargoes laid
by the United States more than a
century ago, in the years preceding
the War of 1912.
In 1906 England, despairing OF
gaining sufficient allies to subdue
Napoleon on land, determined to
starve him into submission. She
proclaimed a blockade Of most of the
coast Of France. Napoleon retaliated
by a paper blockade of the British
Isles.
England came back by requiring
neutral ships to stop at British
port, pay a tax, and obtain license
before going ahead. Thereupon
Napoleon announced that he would
confiscate any ship which obeyed
the British order. The rights of the
United States as neutral went by
the board.
Embargo Act Passed
President jefferson determined
upon peace at any price, and resist
ed the British and French encroach-
ments by military measures. In
April, 1906, Congress passed the
Non-Importation Act, which for
babe entry to certain specified Brit
ish goods. This proving ineffective,
and the Federalists protesting that
the Administration was actuated by
sympathy with France, the Embargo
Act of December, 1907, was enacted.
1t forbade all American ships to
engage in any foreign trade.

tieth century, the rewards of boot
