GEOLOGY OF FOUNDATIONS On all major construction projects, geologists, engineers, and many other specialists investigate foundation materials before construction begins. This permits identification of geologic conditions that might lead to slumps or rockslides, to subsidence above cavernous areas or abandoned mines, or to the unwelcome discovery that hard-to excavate bedrock is closer to the surface than had been supposed. It may also prevent the covering of I ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

valuable mineral resources. Initial geologic study at construction sites is important for highways, bridges, dams, power plants, and all large structures. A few days of a geologist's lime and a few drill holes may help save millions of dollars that might be lost through the failure of a highway, a dam, or any large construction project. The Indiana Geological Survey works throughout Indiana to assist these projects.

prices for materials and equip, ment, plus greater depreciation costs and social secur.ty contribu. tions were cited as reasons for . the decision. The Pi*.lie Service Commission . determined that the increase rep. ' resents a 699 per cent rate of return for NIPSCO when applied to the utility's fair value rate base. The rate increase, wh'.ch is es. fective upon the filing of new rates, expected Tuesday, January 7, 1975. will be applied to all gas customers. The average NIPSCO resident, ial customer who cooks with gai and u.'es it for automatic wat-r heating will experience an in. crease of 35 cents p-r month. The cost of gas service for th,' average customer who h. its h.i home with gas and also uses it for cooking and wat-r h< ating will go up $1.21 p*r month.
