Suggest pverhaul Os Indiana PSC

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A group of Hoosier lawmakers who are studying ways to improve government operation and services recommended Tuesday that the Indiana Public Service Commission be almost completely overhauled.' Members of the Public Service Commission Studay > Committee suggested that the 1961 General Assembly place PSC personnel under civil service, increase their salaries, remove them from political pressures, and review all existing statutes concerning public utility regulation. The report is io be presented Aug. 2 to the Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission. The only dissenter was State Rep. Max E. Brydenthal (D-In-dianapolis), who said the PSC should be enlarged from three members to five. However, the entire committee, incli|ding chairman Ruel Steele (RHedford), recommended that the commission jobs should be full-time propositions with “salaries sufficient to attract qualified personnel” and that commissioners should not be removed from office without “just cause.” Also approved was a recommendation that two of the three members should be attorneys, and that they should be prohibited from private law practice during their terms of office. ' The report was drawn up following a day-long session at which PSC chairman Robert S. Webb of Arcadia and public counselor George Diven presented their views on the matter. The committee was composed of Steele; Brydenthal; State Sen. Robert Brokenburr <R-Indianapolis; and State Reps. George L. Fisher <RLeesburg), and Robert D. Schuttler <D-Evansville).

WEDNESDAY, JULY M, IMO

Other recommendations included: —Jtearig examiners should be made deputy commissioners subject to removal only by the commissioners. —All advertisement by the PSC of hearings should appear in at least one general circulation newspaper in each affected county and should carry the amount of the proposed increase. •A greater proportion of funds collected by the PSC should be retained for its operation and enforcement program. The committee was told by Webb that the PSC takes in more than a million dollars a r Jn and utility assessments and another $300,000 in fines, but the Legislature appropriated only $428,365 last year for PSC operations. — Conferences and hearings should be conducted with all interested public utilities, transportation companies and the public on changes in present PSC laws. —Rural Electric Memberships Corporations should be required to give the same notice of hearings as those in urban areas. —Rewrite railroad laws giving the PSC rule - making authority over diesel engines. The present laws restrict commission power to steam locomotives, now largely obsolete.
