The plat) of “customer ownership" has been devised to take care of the constantly Increasing capital that Is ever necessary for the maintenanaee of many public utilities This method of procedure is being followed by local companies In some instances. "The electrical industry,” according to an official of the Central Indiana Power Company, "on account of the tremendous development in recent years, is regularly in the market for additional funds to keep abreast of the demands made upon It. Under these conditions, as authorities all know, the customer ownership movement. Involving the direct, sate of sound securities in the form of well protected preferred stock to the restdents of the territory served, constituted a long step forward, and a popular step, in utility operation. “This plan has solved, in a great measure, the problem of financing utilities. But its greatest merit, how over. lie= in the fact that, in inrreas ing the popularity of public utility -, r vice with the Investing public. It has promoted and established a cor • Hal relationship and understanding between the utilities and the public which seemed hardly possible of accomplishment a few years ago “With in eight years, the customer ownership, originating in California, has swept the United Suites spread mg from the Pacific to the Atlantic. It. has been adopted by light, and power utilities. large and small, throughout the nation Millions of dollars have been invested m these desirable securities by electric light utility customers and eVnployes number Into the hundreds of thousands, who thus have become partners in the business and share in the profits of these essential enterprises operated In their very midst.

FAST HANDLING OF COAL ORDERS City ice & Coal Cos, Equipped for Big Business, Honesty In business methods and best possible equipment have been the two factors responsible for the steady, consistent growth of the CityIce and Coal Company. “We have founded our business," said Mr. F. F. Fitch, manager of the coal department, 720 E. Washington St., "on our policy of handling only high-grade coal; seeing that the. coal is free from dirt and slack leaving our yards In good lump condition: we guarantee that all orders are acou rately and correctly weighed; we also guarantee prompt delivery of all orders. "Ours is the only retail coal' yard In Indiana to be equipped with a steel coni bridge. This electrically controlled bridge, 135 feet long, permits the company to unload or reclaim coat from any place In the yard. The clam-shell bucket will pick up a ton and a quarter of coal at a time and this Is automatically screened over a two-inch mesh as It Is dumped Into the trucks, thereby Insuring the buyer that the coal he gets from the Uity Ice an,l Ooal Company Is clean lump, free from dustand slack. “The bridge has a guaranteed minimum capacity of fifty tons nn hour and the two railroad tracks serving the bridge will hold ten cars of coal, thus Insuring a ten hour run fr>" the bridge without calling on the switching crew for the movement of cars. We have a total storage capacity of 10,000 tons, and this, together with our ability to load a six-ton truck In six minutes, makes It possible for us Xo take care of very large orders."

This was a gain of 32.1 per cent over 1921. The valuation tabulated for 1922 whs $7,572,890,000.

Not so many years ago it was regarded as a luxury, now It Is a necessity. * F. E. Trosky, plumbing and heatring contractor. 2949 Central Ave., says that one of the things that marks the present upward trend of the plumbing business is the demand by the general public for better grade j plumbing and more modern appli ! nnc.es. “I hare installed only one of the old leg style bath tubs this past j year. With this one exception, the demand has been for built In tubs, ieven In the small bungalows. Safe, sanitary’ leakless plumbing is absolutely essential to one’s happiness, I health, even life, hut that is no reason why the plumbing fixtures should be unsightly. Pee that your fixtures re fleet your own good taste and express the individuality that you wish your home throughout to show. “In ordering a job of plumbing, be sura you place your order with a good reliable firm. Do not hire a plumber about whom you know nothing, just because his prices seem a bit cheaper. Cheap plumbing always proves to be expensive plumbing in the long run When letting a contract for plumbing it is necessary to see that the fixtures chosen are of the best possible grade and that the work of installation Is handled by men who know their business and do not Install plumbing in a hit-or-miss fashion." Mr. Troskey has recently erected a new modern store room at Central and Thirtieth Sts. He haa-anoved his display room her and so can show his fixtures in his own shop.

McGill of the Babson statistical organization, who has given the last eighteen months to a comprehensive study of the building trade conditions. predicted another great year in home and business house construction. Indications in Tndisnapo Us lead lumber men to be entirely hopeful that this section of the coun try will measure up to the record that may be established by any other section. Local lumber yards are storing heavily preparatory for an early spring rush of business. OWN HOME SIGN OF THRIFT The slogan of ''Own Your Own Home" has been stressed during this Thrift Week as economists point out the fact that In paying on a home one is making an investment, whereas if he is paying rent, month in mdnth out. he is simply increasing his liaibilitles.
