BUS SALE TO TROLLEY CO. IS APPROVED Judge Authorizes Traction Heads to Acquire Stock of Coach Concern. $500,000 IS PRICE SET Commission’s Ban on Deal Is Overruled by Circuit Court Jurist. Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin today ordered the Indiana public service commission to approve and authorize purchase of the stock of the People’s Motor Coach Company by the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for $500,000. The Judge also ordered the commission to approve issue of $500,000 worth of securities, paying 8 per cent interest, to finance the purchase. The judge’s decision ends a fight for 4tie bus-street car merger, begun April 16 by the railway company, during which the public service commission twice has refused to approve the bus company sale. Ruling Was Appealed The commission’s refusal was appealed to Circuit Court, under provisions of a law of the last Legislature. Given opportunity to change its stand > after the hearing before Chamberlin, the commission a third time refused to o. k. the purchase. According to Robert I. Todd, street railway president, operation of the motor coach company bus lines by the street car company will mean better transportation for the people of Indianapolis. Peoples bus line service will be continued and enlarged, being combined with street car. company lines where the bus and coach company lines are in direct competition, Todd said. Promise Better Service Direct bus line service from outlying districts now served by street car feeder lines also will result, he said. Except in one or two cases, where it is impossible, feeder lines will run directly to the downtown district instead of ending at the terminal-of some car line as at present, Todd stated. Reduce Cost of Transfers Cost of bus transfers will be reduced from 3 to 2 cents and it will be possible to transfer from a bus to a car line or from a car line to a bus. The Public Service Commisison objected to the purchase on the grounds that $500,000 is an excessive price to pay the bds company. It also declared that the street car company was in too shaky a financial position to carry the burden of paying 8 per cent interest for the $500,000 to be borrowed to finance the deal.

MYERS WILL FIGHT DUVALL IF GIVEN AID # Wants Republicans and Bar to Give Him Backing in Mayor Squabble. MAY ENTER HOGUE SUIT County Auditor Advised to Honor Pay Roll Orders by City Executive. Walter Myers, defeated Democratic nominee for mayor in 1925, tpday declared that 1 1 “a substantial part of the Republican citizenship and bar join in the movement and help assume responsibility,” he will heed demands of his Democratic friends that he take legal steps to gain the mayor’s chair. Myers said that he had not decided what the steps might be. The possibility of him filing an intervening petition in the suit of Joseph L. Hogue, former city controller, to oust Duvall, because of his conviction of violation of the corrupt practices act, has been discussed. Hogue contends he is the rightful mayor because he was city controller under the late Lew Shank; that Duvall, through violation of the corrupt practices act, never was legally elected mayor; therefore, Shank should have continued as mayor until his recent death, and that upon Shank’s death Hogue should have succeeded to the mayor's chair. Announces Officials Myers said: “That Republicans and Democrats alike may be aware of my views and not be misled, < I set forth the following as an important part of my policies, should the title of the mayor’s office devolve upon me: “Appointments to the board of works would be tendered to Fred Hoke, Charles F. Coffin and Leroy J. Keach. “Appointments to the board of safety would be tendered to Samuel E. Rauh, Thomas C. Howe and William E. Clauer. “For city controller, Albert Sahm would be named and pressed to serve. “This statement is made without malice or prejudice and with nothing but the best of feeling toward Mr. Duvall. If in his administration there are some faithful public employes, which undoubtedly must be the case, faithfulness to duty and the public interest would be respected deeply.” Myers Has Contention Myers, it is said, might contend that there was a legal election, but that since Duvall violated the corrupt practices act, Myers should have been elected mayor and should be holding the seat now. Meanwhile, another expected attack upon Duvall failed to materialize. County Auditor Harry Dunn had sought opipions of attorneys as to whether he should approve requests of the city administration for money derived from taxation, in view of the cloud upon Duvall’s claim to the mayor’s seat. Dunn announced today that he had been advised by a number of attorneys that he woul dnot be liable upon his bond for any approvals of advances of funds to the city under Duvall, because the direct transaction is between City Treasurer Edward Ramsay and City Controller Maude Duvall. Ramsay has given no indication he will refuse to advance the funds. Should he refuse, city employes would have to go without pay and city bills could not be met.
