Problems Ahead The Decatur city council has been mandated by the people, in the recent power election, to move forward with all possible speed to improve our city-owned electric utility. The council will undoubtedly do just that. We thought a review of the independent consultand engineer’s report on the irrilnediate needs of the lines, and the cost, would be in order. Apparently the majority of people in the city are willing to pay their share of the cost of the improvements. The following immediate requirements are necessary for the rural distribution system: 1. New 1,500 KVA substation at the power plant —525,000. 2. Construct 13.2 KV line from power plant to present 13.2 KV Union township feeder— 0 $20,000. 3. Relocate existing 750 KV transformer from . Union township feeder to power plant—ss,ooo. 4. Construct 13.2 KV line from 750 KV transformer bank to Washington township and mud pike—sso,ooo. 5. Rebuild Washington township feeder for 13.2 KV and replace transformers—s6l,ooo. 6. Rebuild Mud Pike feeder and replace transformers—s6l,ooo. 7. Rebuild 2,400 volt line on river road feeder to operate 7,200 volts and ultimately 13.2 KV and replace transformers—s34,ooo. This totals $290,000 —an additional $14,500 for the 5% contingency, and engineering and inspection fees of $24,500 would raise the total needed to $329,000. Consoer-Townsend then stated “if this utility is to continue in existence as it is presently constituted it must abandon the idea of generating electrical energy, since it can be purchased wholesale at quite a reduc- ( tion in cost. The costs of production have been and are so high that with present rates this utility has not been able to earn sufficient money to adequately maintain either its generating facilities or its distribution system.” They then recommend the bulding of a 10,000 KVA substation at a cost of $325,000, spend $215,000 to improve city lines, all of which would add legal fees and "contingencies of $20,500, and a premium of $35,500 on the outstanding bonded indebtedness, for a total of $925,000. This plus the $670,000 still outstanding would mean a bonded indebtedness of $1,595,000, at between 4>/2 and 5% interest. An increase in electrical revenues of at least $75,000 a year for the next 'five years would be needed — this through a rate f increase.

Decatur, received a two-day jail sentence . at the Adams county jail, a six month suspended sentence at the Indiana state farm, and a fine of $19.75, after entering a guilty plea today for driving while his license was suspended, as was charged against him last Friday by the city police. Lewis L. Smith, local attorney, entered an appearance today for Joseph A. Martz, 36, route six, Decatur, and requested additional time in which to enter a plea. The case was re-set for hearing Monday morning at 9 o’clock. Martz was arrested at 1:55 a.m. Saturday on three charges andplaced in the Adams county jail during the remainder of the night.

Schott was arrested by the city police on Third street and placed in the county jail during the rest of the night. The continuance was granted so Schott could acquire legal counsel.

CHAPTER 1 I AT NOON on rhanksgiving Day, Murray Kirk was in the bathtub, immersed both tn GuUiver'a Travels and in water so not that it was an exquisite agony to wiggle a toe in It. When the phone rang he tried to close his ears to it, then finally heaved himself from the tub and went Into the bedroom to answer, dripping as be went. The girl at the switchboard said: “Tm sorry, Mr. Kirk. I know you didn’t want any calls put through today, but this gentleman's been at it since nine o’clock, and 1 finally had to tell him I’d see if you were in. Are you?" "Who’s the gentleman?" "It’s a Mr. Ralph Harlingen. He said you’d know him from the Rector Street office." The name was a familiar one, because the Harlingen office was an old client. It was one of those overgrown law firms around Wail Street where ten senior partners and twenty juniors politely argued corporation cases for lush fee'. The Cdnmy-Klrk agency had handled its executive files for a long time. But Ralph Harlingen was one of the lowliest juniors there, very small fry, indeed, and his only distinction, as far as Murray knew, came from the fact that bls father was head man of the outfit. Murray had met him a few times at the Harlingen office, a big. rangy man with crewcut hair showing some gray at the temples, and a manner uncomfortably youthful for his years. It was hard to imagine what he could be calling about. On the phone Harlingen was voluble with apologies, then quickly came to the point. “Tou have no idea, fella," he said, "but right now you're the one Indispensable man. Look, did you ever hear of somebody named Artfold Lundeen? Does that ring a little bell somewhere?" "Na" "Oh," said Harlingen. “Well, anyhow, he’s a clisnt of mine, one of the cops indicted in the Wykoff mesa And 1 don’t have to tell you this case has nothing to do with Rector Street, fella. I’ve left the old shop, and I’m on my own now. How does that sound to you?" ‘ “Fine," Murray said. “Fine. It’s a big step." “Right. And what you and I have to do now la put our heads together over the case. The thing is that Mrs. Harlingen and 1 are leaving tomorrow to spend the rest of the week end with her people in Philadelphia, soil’d like to see you tonight. We’re having open house, and there’ll be a lot of folks here, but we can fit business into it somehow." "Fine," said Murray. "Til be there. Mr. Harlingen." "Ralph, fella. Ralph." "Sure." Murray said. “Thanks a lot, Ralph.” At ten o’clock Murray drove to the Harlingen apartment Good, uninhibited voices filled the

i place with a nervous clamor, i Murray, taken in hand by Mrs. Harlingen, an intense and wiry blonde, soon worked free of ner and idly drifted from group to group. He was alone nursing a drink, when a child appeared before nun. She bore the sallow-complexioned, nail-bitten, pony-tailed earmarks of adolescence, but ner mouth was a bright, sticky smear of lipstick, and her shoulders sagged In a world-weary droop. She looked Uke a bony question mark. “Hello," said the child. “I’m Megan Harlingen. Daddy’s told me all about you." “Delighted," said Murray. “And where have you been all along?” “Oh, out to the movies. 1 can’t stand these parties, can you?" Murray nastily set down his drink. "1 don’t know,” he said cautiously. “They look like nice enough people to me.” "Then you don’t know them i at all," Megan said firmly. “Os course, Daddy’s been unspeak- . ably heroic about the whole thing. 1 mean, taking criminal cases and all He’s the first one in the family to ever do it, and it’s all i so new. 1 suppose that’s why he's asked you to help him, isn’t it?” “M-m-m, 1 doubt it. Usually, my job is just to help on the de- ' tails " “What kind of details? You ; know, 1 think it’s absolutely hei role being a private detective. l You are a real private detective, , aren’t you?” “1 am." > "1 mean, because you don’t really look like one. But you do , have adventures?" i “What kind of adventures?" "Oh, you know what 1 mean, i Don’t you ever watch TV or anyi thing?" "Only Kukla, Fran and Ollie," > said Murray. i “Well, no wonder,” Megan said I in relief. “Now you come along I with me, and TU show you." She guided nim to her room, pushed nim into an armchair facing a television set, and. after , a brief search among the chan- ■ nels, located Private-Eye Branni- • gan battering his way through * the Case of the Missing Finger. > The darkness of the room, the > patter of television dialogue were ’ temptations for Murray to close I his eyes and fall asleep. He closed his eyes for a second, i found he couldn’t open them, and came to with a start only when [ Private-Eye Brannigan had i cleared up his case with a salvo ; of pistol shots.

Poindexter, 49, Cincinnati, was arrested by FBI agents Sunday on charges of fleeing Ohio to avoid prosecution for murder. Poindexter is charged with the murder of Mrs. Herschel Hires, Hamilton, Ohio, who died April 10 of gunshot wounds sustained during a robbery. Poindexter was held in Marion County Jail.

off the set. "Happy Thanksgiving,” she said. “Ugh.” The lights of the room suddenly Went on, and they both turned to blink at the figure in the doorway. It was Harlingen. “Oh, there you are," be said, and then be groaned. “Gosh. Megan, this room is the foulest mess. How can you stand having anyone see it like this?" She glowered at him. “It Isn’t a mess.” "Now get that goo off your face and go to sleep." At the doorway Murray turned. “Good night, Megan,” he said. “Kids," said Harlingen darkly as he pulled the door shut. He led the way to a small room sparsely furnished as a study. “No, you won’t find much worth while there," he said, as Murray squatted to study the contents of the low bookshelves. "Most of it’s jurisprudence—and those small ones are poetry by my wife. Privately printed, of course. She finds it a wonderful means of expressing herself.” "1 know,” said Murray. “She was telling me.” "She was? Then you probably had a chance to see for yourself the kind of person she is. Muy stmpahca. And very outgoing. Very dynamic. As a matter of fact, she was the main force tn getting me to strike out for myself.” “You mean, practicing criminal law?” "That’s right. And Tve been very lucky in finding a client like Lundeen right off. The trouble is that the case itself poses so many problems. 1 mean, there’s a lot of investigation to be done, a lot of legwork. And when you're without a staff of any sort there’s just no way to cope. That’s where you come in.” "Whoa," said Murray. ’Tm not I in yet." Harlingen looked startled. “But 1 thought—” .... .. "1 Know. But from my angle ' there are things about this kind of case I don’t like." "Ah, look. It's a plain and simple indictment for perjury in the i first" “Just how plain and simple?* “Well, Lundeen’s a patrolman, a : plainclothes ms. attached to the > Vics Squad.
