Counsel Says.

Albert l.. Rabb, counsel for the
City Utility District. in letter 70
Mayor Kern, today took issue with
statements contained in The In
dianapolis Times yesterday relative
to the proposed purchase of the
Citizens Gas Co. by the city.
In the article yesterday The Times
declared that Isaac c. Woodland,
vice president and general manager
of the Acme-Evans Milling Co., was
elected to the board of the City
Utility District on April 5, the date
on which the group adopted the res
olution authorizing the city to call
for bids on the bond issue.
The fact is" Mr.. Rabb wrote.
that Mr.. Woodland was elected
April /, and had the opportunity to
give mature thought to the matters
before the board of directors of
the district
On April 8 Mr.. Rabb told The
Indianapolis Times that Mr.. Wood
ard had not been elected. Mr.
Woodland also said that he had not
been formally elected. On April 5
Mr.. Rabb formally announced the
election of Mr.. Woodland
THE pending steps for acquisi-
ton of the property of the Citizens
Gas Co are but the development of
a plan which originated with con-
sumers of gas and citizens of In
