EXPERTS OF CITY ANALYZE DATA IN' RATEBOOSTCASE Water Company Prepares Lengthy Review on Consumption, Taylor E. Groninger, city corporation counsel, and Benjamin Perk, accountant for the city today, started analyzing consumers’ data just prepared by the Indianapolis Water Company in connection with its demand for increased rates. The city has until Sept. 15 to file its analysis with the public service commission. Oral arguments will be heard by the commission Sept. 27. The data covers sixty pages and consists largely of tables showing division of consumers according to the amount of water used and the amount paid. The figures indicate 82.34 per cent of the company’s total revenue is derived from commercial sales and 14.15 per cent from hydrant rentals to the city. Total pumpage during 1922 was 1,443,409,300 cubic feet, the figures show. Os this total, metered consumption was 698,866,500 cubic feet and the remainder was divided among various types of non-metered service. The figures also show 40,940 flat rate oonsumers. This is 96.14 per cent of the total consumers and pays 92.13 per cent of the total revenue, according to the data. The purpose of the data is to determine the number and kind of consumers and the amount paid by each, and to supply a basis whereby rates . Just to each type of consumer can be ' determined.

It is filled to the brim with just such rapid action, big dramatic moments and strenuous conflicts as screen patrons delight in. Its producer spared no expense and no pains in making this new production as far in advance of the first screen version of the story as that picture was in advance of other feature productions of its day. The cast is a notable one, including: Milton Sillls, Anna Q Nilsson, Barbare Bedford. Noah Beery, Robert Edeson. Mitchell Lewis, Wallace McDonald, Ford Sterling, Robert McKim, Sam De Grasse, John Elliot, Rockliffe Fellowoe, Louise Fazenda, Kate Price and Jack Curtis. -I- -V -I* Comedy, Music, Dance Found on New Palace Bill Comedy, music and dancing will have equal chances on the bill opening at the Palace today.
