LEAGUE CLOSES MEETING HERE Recommends City Reorganization on New Lines. "Organization of Metropolitan Areas” was the general subject for discussion at the closing session at the Claypool Hotel of the twenty-sixth annual meeting of the National Municipal League. "Essentials in the Political Integration of Metropolitan Areas” was the subject of a list of tentative suggestions prepared for the session by Professor C. C. Maxey of Western Reserve fniverslty and among the suggestions were the fol lowing: That counties in each State should be classified as rural and urbaa. with generally uniform types of organization available for each class under the optional plan: that urban counties should be so organized that all functions of local government of the county may bs performed by cne set of officials; that whenever there Is a population of 50.000 or more In a metropolitan area, whether the same be organized as one or more than one city, such metropolitan area should be detached from the rural county or counties of which it is part and should be erected Into a separate urban county, but not until all of the separate cities, towns or villages composing such metropolitan districts have been consolidated as a single entity for purposes of municipal government; that the so-called "borough plan” or Federal rlan of organization Is fundamentally unsound except In certain unique instances where topographical and eco nomic conditions are such as to demand administrative differentiation as between districts of a metropolitan area; that administrative unity, which Is the paramount object In the consolidation of con tigious municipalities and the detachment of urban areas from rural counties, should not be sacrificed in order to secure loose and unreal Integration. It was pointed out by George C. Sikes of Chicago that the great need of metropolitan communities Is thorough-going reorganization on the basis of unity, simplicity and the short ballot; that within city s-e.os county government should be abolished and county functions should be vested In the city government. and that to these propositions comparatively little opposition is offered, so long as the propositions remain general in form. It further was pointed out by Mr. Sikes that when it comes *to the elimination of any particular governmental agency, through consolidation, the officials of that government with one a<'et>rd begin to devise excuses for inaction. Various other features pertninlng to city-county consolidation were touched upon by speakers at the meeting. A resolution was adopted thanking the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, and particularly Robert E. Tracy, director of the Bureau of Municipal Research of the chamber, who had charge of the local arrangements for the meeting, and wrose work in that connection was deeply appreciated by the convention. Preceding the afternoon session, at a joint luncheon of the league and the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, there was a talk on city planning by George B. Ford of New York. who. after telling of some of the work in city planning that be had done in France, touched npon city planning In this city.

To The Patrons —of the —— Indianapolis Water Cos.

The Indianapolis Water Company has filed its petition with the Public Service Commission, asking for a small increase in water rates. \ The increase sought will amount to only a few cents per month to the average domestic user, but however slight, it will affect all of our many customers and we take this method of aequainting our patrons with the conditions which necessitate an increased revenue to this Company. # The Indianapolis Water Company, as a public utility, is obligated to provide the City of Indianapolis, its people and its enterprises with a sufficiency of pure water for domestic, industrial and municipal purposes. Its duty extends not only to the Indianapolis of today, but to the Indianapolis of tomorrow as well. Fulfillment of this obligation to serve means a constantly increasing investment in pumping capacity, filtration facilities and street mains to safeguard the future of a thriving and prosperous City. Upon the efficient functioning of this Company depends not only the convenience of our people, but also the protection of property against fire and, to a degree, the health of the community, . Reasonable Rates The “reasonable rate” which a utility is entitled to charge for its product is one that will meet the actual costs of operations, , including taxes, protect the physical properties as against depreciation and pay a reasonable return upon the fair value of the properties used and useful in the enterprise. The “reasonable return” that a utility should receive is a rate of return that will induce capital to enter the business—that will enable a utility to attract the additional capital needed for street main extensions and other additions to the property. The present schedule of rates as allowed by the Public Service Commission gave this Company approximately $125,000 annual increased revenue. This amount was required to provide a reasonable return upon the property after meeting an operating expense based upon the experience of the year 1919. During the year 1920. however, this Company encountered the same upward trend of costs which has wrought havoc with all forms of domestic, commercial and industrial enterprises. , . Increased Taxes Not only have materials and labor advanced, but State, County and City Taxes have risen to unprecedented heights. The City, County and State Taxes of the Indianapolis Water Company for the year 1920 will amount to $244,000, as against the sum of $157,897.49 for the year 1919. This marked increase in faxes, exceeding $86,000 for the year, could not have been anticipated by the Public Service Commission in its order last fixing water rates. We wish the public to appreciate this fact—that the Public Service Commission after investigation allowed us additional revenues for the year in the amount of $125,000, and unexpected increased taxes for the year have absorbed over $86,000 of thi* relief. Other costs have aided in practically wiping out the total additional revenues to which the Commission found we were entitled. During the year our Company has been favored by an advantageous coal contract and has not been compelled to pay the peak prices which have obtained during recent months. When this contract expires we will encounter much higher coal prices—even if we are able to secure suitable coal at the prices established by the Special Food and Fuel Commission. Betterments During the year 1920 this Company has expended $320,000 in* additions and betterments to the property. The requirements of the City for the year 1921, if properly met. will involve a further investment of about $600,000. To protect against a shortage of filtered water during the summer months we propose to begin at once the construction of a ten-million-gallon storage reservoir, which will cost about $285,000. This heavy investment will mean protection to the public, but will not add to the revenues of the Company. We should expend, also, during the year over $200,000 for street main extensions. The extensive betterments planned will require additional capital, which must be secured at the high interest rates prevailing and can only be secured upon a showing of satisfactory earnings. Every citizen is directly interested in seeing this Water Company keep abreast of the City’s splendid growth. The Company appreciates the important part it must play in the progress and development of the City of Indianapolis. It seeks in its present petition only such added revenues as are required to enable it to maintain the high standard of service which has attended its operations. y The average increase asked of domestic users is only a slight increase per month. We hopefully ask the ed-operation of our patrons in the matter of the pending petition. Very respectfully, INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY, jj
