GAS HITES DECREASE PAST LOSS Citizens Company Within 5 Per Cent of Returning to Normalcy. TRUSTEES MEET MONDAY Cheaper Product Is Plea of Taxpayers. The Citizens Gas Company is within 5 per cent of catching up with the arrearage in common stock dividends accumulated in the last twenty years. The company in 1907 started under a trust agreement whereby 10 per cent a year is guaranteed on common stock. Some years the company met this dividend easily, but at Intervals dropped behind so that by 1925 a huge dividend deficit had p.led up. In 1925 the company’s profits were so high that $460,000 was paid out in dividends on the $2,000,000 worth of common stock, equaling a 23 per cent return. Thirteen per cent of this went toward making up the arrearage. Further decrease In the arrearage was made last year, as well as payment of the regular 10 per cent common stock dividend and the regular 7 per cent on preferred. Taxpayers Insistent How much was paid on the arrear age last year will not be known until the 1926 report of the company Is filed. Announcement has been made by an Indianapolis attorney that he had been retained by a group of taxpayers to file a petition for a revaluation of the gas company and reduction In rates. Law provides the commission must act upon such petitions, signed by at least ten taxpayers. The taxpayers are understood to be determined to get a rate reduction for both domestic and power consumers on the ground that the present rates are earning abnormally high profits. Clarence L. Kirk, vice president and general manager, said that unless unforeseen conditions arise the company will be able hefprr 1928 to voluntarily ask for a material rate reduction. Await Election of Officers Taxpayers who planned the petition are awaiting the 1926 report to determine their faith In the prediction that rates will be voluntarily reduced. They also are watching for the annual election of directors. Under the company’s trust agreement five trustees annually appoint nine directors. Terms of the present directors expired today, but they serve until their successors are named, probably next Monday. Gas officers are: John R. Welch, president; Kirk, vice president; G. A. Efroymson. treasurer: F. G. Hasten burg, secretary. These serve as directors with the following; Alfred F. Potts, H. H. Hornbrook, Franklin Vonnegut, J. H. Hooker, Edgar H. Evans and James I. Lissette. Full Record Unavailable Record of common stock dividends paid by the company from 1907 to 1913, is not available, the company not having come under control of the commission until 1914. The com pany started In 1907 jj'ith only $3,900 of common stock outstanding. By 1913 this had been increased to $1,050,000. The record of common stock outstanding and amount of dividends each year since follows: Common Stock Dividend Year issued Paid 1914 $1,250,000 $43,476 1915 1,250,000 None 1916 1,250,000 $231,255 1917 1,500,000 215,607 1918 1,500,000 150,000 1919 1,500,000 150.191 1920 2,000,000 200,000 1921 * 2,000,000 100,000 1922 2,000,000 None 1923 2,000,000 None 1924 2,000,000 180.000 1925 2,000,000 460,000 1926 2,000,000 Avail. *3-15-27 •March 15, 1927. f
