Highlights Of the

This Week.

Times Financial Writer

THE Columbia Gas and Electric
Il Co, in conference with city
officials Tuesday, made the first
definite move toward furnishing
the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility
with natural gas No direct bid was
made but prompt action was urged
in negotiating for a contract. c. I.
Weaver, Columbia vice president,
pointed out that last year the
pipe lines were begging for bust
ness. but at present the opposite IS
true"
These proceedings recall the I'M
needed advice Of local manufacture
ers and others familiar with the
situation that the city arrange for
natural gas before issuing revenue
bonds with which to acquire the
plant and property Of the Citizens
Gas Co. If Utilities District direc-
tors had then made a definite con-
tract with Columbia or some other
firm for natural gas at a satisfac-

would not now be handicapped in
its bargaining.
Several facts substantiate this
contention, observers point out.

HOUSING TASK
ABANDONED BY
FEDERAL BODY
Government Appears Ready
to Surrender Role to Pri-
vate Industry.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON. Sept. 28.-After
two years of experiment the gov
eminent is ready to surrender to
private capital the job of providing
low-rent urban housing.
When PWA Chief Ickes divided
up S10O,OO0,OOO of work-relief funds
for 81 housing projects, he virtually
wrote the end to direct Federal par
ticipation in such enterprises. No
more money will be available unless
Congress votes it.
Ambitious Federal housing plans
have limped from the start. Mr..
Ickes at various times in the last
two years has had more than S4OO,-
100000 available for housing and
slum clearance. Less than $4,000
900 has been spent

Court Decision Adverse

Added to the option troubles Was
the decision of the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals at Cincinnati
denying the governments right to
condemn land for housing construc-
ton.
One hope is held out to cities
where housing projects have been
rejected. The Federal Housing Ad
ministration, which is not con-
nected with P. w. A., has authority
to insure mortgages on low-cost
housing developments, where pri-
vate money is obtained for f1nanc-
ing. The F. H. A. is now exam
lining some 66 such projects involv-
ing $4,000 rooms and total cost
of $175,OO0,O00.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-28
Was Given S15O,OOOQOO

When the PWA housing division
was established it was given $780,
100000. Unable to spend it, the
division saw all but 100000 re-
scinded last march.
At the beginning of the wOrk-re-
lief program, July l, $246,000,O00 was
given Mr.. Ickes for housing. A week
ago, at Hyde Park, all but 100000
900 was cancelled.
Many reasons are given for the
failure of the housing program. The
primary obstacle has been inability
to obtain options on sites at fair
price and at such speed as to guar
antee completion within reason
able time.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-28

IF the city had bargained for a
i supply of natural gas before it
acquired the Citizens Gas plant,
many persons believe that natural
gas companies then would have
offered a very low price in order to
induce the city to take over the
plant and promptly begin purchas-
ing natural gas, since it was gen.
orally understood that the Citizens
Gas Co. was not favorable to the
use of such gas.
This argument is now lost, be-
cause the city is in possession of
the gas property. The natural gas
companies apparently realize that
the use Of their product is essen
tial TO the Utilities District to en-
able it to operate the utility at a
profit and at the same time Serv-
ice the 100000 of revenue bonds
now outstanding.

New Bonds Replace Old Debts

But of this amount S185, 493, 164 is
to be issued either to refund old
bonds or to substitute for preferred
stocks. In other words, the money
in this case flowed into industry
many years ago. Now the debts are
due and new bonds are issued to
take the place of the old debts.
This leaves S33913,828 of fnanc-
ing to be accounted for. But this
amount includes $25, 490.813 of secur-
tiles issued by investment trusts or
other corpora tons which is to be
used, not to buy new equipment or
to invest in new enterprises, but 10
purchase in the open market chiefly
old stocks. This, when it is all done,
represents merely a change in own
ershlp of existing stocks.
When all this is accounted for
the balance left which represents
actual potential new financing is
just S8,423,015-a pitifully small
sum. And all that can be said of
this is that the SEC has authorized
various corporations to issue that
much stock.

CAPITAL
FAILS TO FLOW
TOWARD TRADE
New investments Made in
Industry Declared to
Be Small.
BY JOHN T. FLYNN
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Capital
still refuses to flow into industry,
despite the many evidences of slim
ulated activity which appear on
every hand. And ali the print ex-
pended in hailing the re-entry of
fresh funds into the security mar
kets turns out to be quite decep-
tive when the figures about these
new security Offering are analysed.
1t is impressive to be told that
last month, s254O62, 1922 had flooded
into new security offerings. But
now that the facts about these Of
ferings are available in the excel
lent study of them made each
month by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, we see that all
that was available for fresh invest
ment was something over $4,000, 900
And there is no evidence that any
part of this was actually put up
IN cash or that these securities were
actually sold.
Here is the way the matter stands.
The total amount of securities re-
leased for Offering by the SEC in
August was S254,O62 ,322. But only
S219 482,272 are effective. The bal
ance represents stocks held for con-
version purposes, selling costs ara
so on.

Of the record of George Ritten-

mates of Rittenhouse, who served
a term for mail robbery, quoted
him as having said the Weyer-

mark for a kidnapping, pointing out
their great resources and the fact
they had children. Acting Warden
F. j. Morrison would not admit the
agents had been there, and re-
ferred all queries to the depart

1t was learned, however, that a
search is being made for the ex-.
convict, but whether the kidnapping
could be laid to him could not be
ascertained. Rittenhouse is familiar
