The democratic members of the state senate after caucusing frequently and for long sessions since last Thursday, came to an Agreement Monday night as to the amendments which all are pledged to support in the utilities bill It republicans offer emendments they will receive little consideration. The measure will effect telephone companies and all public utilities in Indiana and shold help solve the local problem, which the city council will soon be called upon to handle.

John B. Peterson, congressman from the tenth district, is visiting in the city a short time. “I am here to urge the members to pass the laws the democrats promised the people and I believe this body will do so,” said Mr. Peterson. He continued, ‘The democrats must keep their promises if they wish to retain the good opinion of the people as they expressed it at the polls. We must have a good public utilities law above all things. That's what I am doing here.”—lndlanapolos News.
