INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1921.

CONTENDSPLAN OF BIG ELECTRIC MERGER FAULTY Kokomo Attorney, in Brief, Attacks Legality of Corporation, Arguments against the Public service commission granting the petition of the Indiana Electric Corporation for permission to issue securities for the purI chase of seven utility plants in Indiana are contained in a brief tiled with the commission today by Fred Bates John* ; son, special counsel for the city of KoI koino. ! Another brief opposing the merger was j tiled by William L. Taylor, representing | tl.o Link Belt Company and other Indli anapolis firms. The brief opens with n discussion of the valuation of the properties. It contends that ' the estimated valuations placed on the property l*y the corporation are far too high, it calls the corporation's valuation merely a guess or •mi estimate of an estimate.” It sets out three valuations and shows that on the basis of either tin* valuation placed on the property by the corporation Is too high. VALI ATIONS COMPARED. In the first place, it sets out the cor porat lon’s valuations of ?m.721>, ‘*3 for all the property and compares It with a valuation of Jtll.tKld.uOO made by Hurry O. Carman, chief engineer of the public service commission, on the basis of a recent valuation made of the property of the Indiana Railways A Light Company of Kokomo, one or the properties in v.lived. On tilts basis the brief shovys an excess of $4. 72*1.772. A crtmparlson Is then made of the value claimed by the corporation and the valuation made by Mr Gartntn in the hearing of the first petition filed bv the corporation. I his value was $11,000,000 and the comparison shows an excess of $7,72*1,777*. I he third comparison is between the corporation s valuation and the cost of the property, the latter being given ns sP*.ott,t*oo. This i shows a difference of $K,720,772. None of the comparisons, it Is explained, takes Into account the present or depredated values of the properties. CONTENDS PI.AN ILLEGAL. I The brief then takes up the question of Income In Is relation to valuation 'and shows on the basis of valuations run ring from SIi.fiOO.OOO to $18,70*),000 that the corporation cannot earn sufficient to take care of a 7 per cent return on the property and depreciation of 2Mi per ••ent. The brief then goes on to contend that not even tixc,| charges can be paid. It takes the corporation's figure of $1.42*1,• dll 01 a year as the available Income, places Ihe fixed charges at $012.70-'. tig urea depreciation of $777,700 and shows a deficit of I'JI.Svv'JB after deducting the fixed charges and the depreciation. The brief winds lip by declaring the plan Is Illegal because it attempts to do Indirectly wh it can not be done directly under the merger law; because all the ; inter ■it ed eorpo rat 1 part lea I ntnl because the present cam* I s based lon an amended pleading filed after the I original was denied; that the plan is j against public policy and against tin* I wishes of the several communities served; that the values ere not there; that there ila no proper evidence on income except ! the testimony of the commission's ip- | rountauts 111 the original case: that the Income thus set out is b-ss than half enough to support . ither fixed charges or ja fair return. CONTEND* I’ROl'l ItTIIN BONDED UIOVK VAl.l IS. j According to Mr. Taylor's brief, the [properties Involved in tin* petition now lire bonded and stocked above their trio values and there Is no equity upon which ,inv further issues of • urlt: s can be j based. | Securities Issued by th<* seven utilities total while the c**nuul*sb*n .valuations, not allowing any depreciation, total only $11.832.42*, ho -aid.

Mr. Taylor i-ontcuds tliat tlie commlflnion lia.s no authority, either statutory or judicial, to authorize the Issuance of ad ditioual securities unless additions arc mad** to the properties. Should tho commission grant, the company tin* rfght to Issue stocks and bonds, tho feasibility of the plant is still in .question, Mr. Taylor said. I Not one city which is directly inxnivcd in this transaction is In favor of it. I** j cause the present wjr rates either must ! stand for some years to come in order to I pay off the bond' and Indebtedness, or they i must go even higher, he contended. There never has been a case presented | to tho commission no absolutely without | merit- as Is thin case and tho petition i l.ould bo denied, according to Mr. Taylor. Hays’ Brother Will Not Serve on Board [ Hinkle Hays of Sullivan, today notified i Governor Warren T. McCray he would he unable to succeed bis brother, Will If.
