nobody knows when to act.” PERRY SAID THE TAX reform legislation languishing in Congress would not hurt the school corporation’s plans to sell bonds next summer, but he said a great deal of uncertainty surrounds the act’s eventual effective date. Of three possibilities-retroactive to Dec. 31, next June 30 or next Dec. 31-Perry said the most likely date will be June 30. “It depends on how they grandfather it,” Perry said of the tax bill’s effective date. “We could have the best of both worlds-no negative effects of the tax bill, but the benefit of lower interest rates in the bond markets.” Reserving final advice until closer to the actual time of advertising for bonds, Perry said his reaction now would be that the school corporation probably would be better off utilizing a public holding company. That procedure, used to construct other buildings in the city schools system, would involve a group of local citizens who form a non-profit group to sell bonds for school construction. A PRIVATE HOLDING company does much the same thing, Perry said, but earns a profit on its work. In essence, a private holding firm has no limitation on its fee; what it earns depends on the difference gained from buying the bonds, then reselling them. On a bond sale of between $5 million and $lO million, Perry said, a private holding company’s profit would amount to “several hundred thousand dollars.” Abbott agreed, adding: “A private holding company is a for-profit group. AMTRAK RIDER SURVEY WASHINGTON (AP) - Reps. Peter Visclosky, D-Ind., and Elwood “Bud” Hillis, R-Ind. said Amtrak officials have promised to survey riders of the Valparaiso-to-Chicago commuter train. Hillis aide John Stowell said the meeting Wednesday netted an agreement to survey passengers to determine what would be the most convenient times to leave Valparaiso in the morning and return from Chicago in the evening. Amtrak has announced that starting Monday, one of the two trains will be eliminated.

They’re going to get as much money out of the school corporation as they can. That’s the name of the game. Often, they’ll tell a school corporation, ‘By using us, you don’t need to pay attorney fees or fees for a financial adviser.’ To me, that’s hogwash. They’re going to pay their own attorneys and advisers. It’s all built in.” ONE ADVANTAGE SOMETIMES provided by a private holding company, Perry said, is a shorter amount of time required to complete financing arrangements. Abbott distributed information showing that, on the average, a private holding company can complete financing between 201 and 271 days, while a public holding company usually requires 246 to 310 days. In either case-public or private-the holding company retains title to the new school property until the school corporation pays it off through semi-annual lease-rental payments over a specified number of years. The school board will meet as the board of finance at 7:15 p.m. next Wednesday, before starting the regular monthly meeting at 7:30. Both sessions are open to the public. At 7:30 on Wednesday, Jan. 29, the board will meet again for tentative approval of the middle school and high school designs, as developed by Inter Design. IF THE PROJECTS CONTINUE on their present timetable, the middle School will be ready for occupany by the fall of 1987 and the high school work will be finished by Janaury 1988.

PSC approves phone charges

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) and General Telephone will cut rates for certain services as a result of a Public Service Commission order that will bring the companies more revenue from longdistance companies. The PSC announced Wednesday it has approved changes in access charges paid by long-distance telephone companies to local-service companies. The PSC approved, on an interim basis, changes in the charges long-distance carriers such as AT&T, GTE Sprint and MCI pay to local exchange telephone companies for use of their lines for in-state long-distance calling. As a result of the change, the in-state tariffs will be in line with interstate access charges determined by the Federal Communications Commission, the PSC said. Local companies affected by the order include Indiana Bell, General Telephone, Garrett Telephone, United Telephone, Continental Telephone and Communications Corp. of Indiana. The PSC said Indiana Bell’s annual

revenues will increase by about $1.6 million and General Telephone’s by about $1.2 million as a result of the change. The other local companies will experience little or no change in revenue, the PSC said. Indiana Bell will reduce its rates TouchTone service by 15 cents per month for residential customers and 25 cents for business customers, the PSC said. General Telephone will cut its Touch-Call line charged 40 cents for residential customers and 80 cents for business customers. The ruling will increase AT&T’s payments for access charges by $6.6 million annually, the company told the PSC. To offset that expense, AT&T will increase its directory assistance charge from 50 cents to 75 cents per call and eliminate the two-call directory assistance allowance. The PSC said the access charges and resulting rate changes remain open to review. The commission staff, Utility Consumer Counselor’s office and local and long-distance companies were instructed in the PSC order to work together to draw

Hubbard and his wife will host an open house 7-9 p.m. Saturday at the Signature Inn-West, 3850 Eagle View Drive, Indianapolis, to view the documentary and field questions about the product.

up recommendations for determining future intrastate access charges. In another rate case, the PSC approved a restructing of Saverline Corp.’s telephone rates to permit the utility “to remain competitive... with other resellers of telecommunication services.” The long-distance telephone company will eliminate its $7.50 monthly base fee and restructure its rates, the PSC said. Under the new rates, the company will offer a 25 percent discount on its evening rate, compared with the base rate, and a 50 percent discount for night rates. The effect to consumers will depend on their phone usage, the PSC said. Saverline will lose about 2.6 percent of its monthly Indiana revenues through the rate change, but plans to make up for the loss by adding new customers, the PSC said.

Saverline provides service to customers in 27 Indiana cities, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Elkhart, Columbus, Lafayette, Terre Haute, Vincennes, South Bend and Richmond.

SPIRULINA, WHICH HAS been tested in the United States the past six years by Harvard and Columbia university scientists, is a non-meat source of Vitamin B-12 and vegetable protein. It can be harvested in only three days. Hubbard points out that five per cent of all profits by Spirulina are going to world hunger organizations. For more information, persons may contact the Hubbards at 246-6439.

Homeowner exonerated in teen’s death TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) - A Vigo County grand jury declined to indict a homeowner who fired a gun blindly and killed a teen-ager who was pounding on his door. Homeowner Timothy Hull, 27, testified before the panel Wednesday. He said he told police he became scared when he was awakened about 1 a.m. by a barking dog and the noise of someone pounding on his door. Hull had been the victim of a burglary a year earlier. He said he saw someone apparently trying to enter the house and he became scared so he fired a shot through the door. Timothy Kelley, 16, a high school sophomore who had been at a neighborhood party, was killed by a shot in the back on Dec. 21.
