WATER CO. UE cot mmm State Commission Also Raps Kappes’ Gas Finding. Disagreeing: with the method of finding property valuation adopted by William P. Kappes, special master in chancery in Federal Court, in the Citizens Gas Company ' case, the public service commission Wednesday slashed $3,500,000 from the valuation placed on the property of the Indianapolis Water Company by company engineers and fixed the ■value at $16,455,000 The company petitioned for a valuation for the purpose of finding a basis for the issue of new securities. Two appraisals offered by engineering firms for the water company fixed the value at $20,020,172 and $19,579,320, and commission engineers in three appraisals fixed the physical valuation t $14,689,078, $17,433,169 and $16,872,095. The commission valuation was fixed on the basis of average prices of labor and materials for the ten-year period ending in 1921 and on present land values. The ruling of Mr. Kappes in the Citizens Gas Company case, to which the commission in its finding took exception, was based on the cost of reproduction now less depreciation, using prices of July 1, 1922. This basis was branded by the commission as "unfair to the public, harmful and unsafe for the utility and not in accordance with the law." MEMORIAL DA!
