AUTHORITY IN CAR COMPANY’S RATE PETITIONDOUBTED John Losh Alleges 1921 Act of Legislature Unconstitutional, Jurisdiction of the public service commission over the Indianapolis Street Railway Company’s petition for higher fare is questioned in an intervening petition filed with the commission today by John W. Losh. 638 &Coffey St. Losh was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor in 1921. Losh contends that the franchise of the street railway company, surrendered in 1921. still legally is in force. It provided for six tickets for a quqr ter. ' Losh alleges the act of the 1921 Legislature under which the franchise was surrendered is unconstitutional because it permits the alteration of a contract. He also contends that the act Itself provides that a utility may be granted no rate higher than that provided in the surrendered franchise. Petitoner asks for immediate dismissal of the car company's plea. Ldsh said he would carry the matter into court if the commission denied his petition.
