In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 17.—The outstanding item in the week-end news is the published estimate of the year-end distribution of dividends and interest. It will be record breaking. One publication estimates this total at one billion five hundred million. A good part of this money will be of the bookkeeping sort. You won’t see it, but it will have its effect and its first effect will be in the statement of corporations reducing items of cash on hand and loaned on call. How will the receiver use it? If it will be used for the cash purchase of stocks or bonds or the reduction of a debit balance on a stock account, the result will be very beneficial. The most inexperienced in financial affairs can readily understand that the accumulation in preparation for the disbursement of so much money will have the effect of continuing and creating an additional stringency in our money market so that no one should be surprised at such rates as may be posted in the days to come before the year is out of the way. We continue of the opiinon that for the present the policy of reducing commitments on the bulges is the safe one.

FIRM TONE OF WHEAT IS DUE TO BULL NEWS Recent Developments Lead to Belief All Grains Are Low. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Favorable foreign news gave wheat a firm tone on the Board of Trade today. Corn was a little stronger. Oats weakened slightly. At the opening wheat was unchanged to 14 cent higher, corn was unchanged to % cent up and oats were unchanged to % cent lower. Provisions were unchanged. Recent developments strengthened relief that wheat consumption this year will be extraordinarily large. Poland was reported to have removed all restrictions against importations and Syria to have reduced import duties by more than a half. Liverpool was a little lower today. Large receipts of corn are expected this morning not withstanding the unfavorable weather. Rain and snow is falling over the corn states today. Total Indicated supplies of corn are not much larger than at this time last year, while the prices are lower. Oats have gained their strength from the tendency of farmers to hold the grain. No other factor is likely to enter the situation. Chicago Grain Table —Dec. 17— Prev. WHEAT— High. Low. 12:0C. Close.

CITIZENS GAS COMMON STOCK BREAKSSI2.SO Statement Issued by Voting Trustees Cause of Sharp Decline. - Citizens Gas Company common stock certificates dropped $1&50 on the Indianapolis stock excha/ige today to the lowest point in months The drop followed announcement by gas company voting trustees that they believe, on advice of counsel, that the franchise of 1905 by which the city was given an option to take over the gas plants in 1930 is in full force and effect Outside investors for months have been attempting to buy up the certificates in large quantities in the hope that eventually some means of getting around the franchise option and of reorganizing the company as a purely private venture could be found. The decline also is believed to have been influenced by the declaration of the trustees that they also believe and intend to fight in court to prove, if necessary, that the company constitutes a public charitable trust and that certificate holders never shall be given more than the $25 face value and their guaranteed $lO a month interest. Bids of $52.50 a share were made Friday with several shares offered at $56, no sales being recorded. Today only S4O was bid. No shares were offered.

FLU HITS CITY POLICE Worley Perplexed * How to Patrol Shopping District. Police Chief Claude M. Worley wore a perplexed look today. For he faced the proposition of detailing extra policemen for duty in the downtown shopping district during the Christmas rush, with sixty-eight members of the force off duty because of influenza. It has been the custom of the department to establish a deadline in the shopping district during the 'holiday rush, over which no known crook may step without being liable to arrest. Many of the sick men have been used in the district on previous occasions, and are familiar with the work. DIES WAITING SAVIORS Switchman Bleeds to Death While Efforts are Made to Rescue Him. Bn United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Dec. 17. Harry Stevens, a switchman, bled to death while watching a crew of volunteers attempt to extricate him from the end of a gondola freight car where he had been trapped by the shifting of a load of pig iron. “Hury it along, boys,” Stevens said calmly as the workers employed derricks and torches in their efforts to free him. His leg had been crushed by the pig iron.

Citizens Gas Trustees Give Their Side of Case

The statement of voting trustees of the Citizens Gas Company that they will carry the question of whether they will turn over the gas plants to the city in accordance with the 1905 franchise to the “court of last resort,” as a matter of personal protection, follows:

The voting trustees of the Citizens Gas Company have obtained an opinion from their counsel with respects to the powers and duties of such trustees in connection with the administration of the affairs of said company and an interpretation and construction of the franchise. articles of incorporation, voting trust agreement and the statutes applicably thereto, which opinion is substantially as follows: 1. That by the franchise granted in 1905 and its acceptance, a public charitable trust was created in favor of the patrons of the C tiaens Gas Company and the residents of the city of Indianapolis to provide for a supply of gas in Indianapolis at cost, whenever the amounts invested by the certificate holders of the company were repaid with interest not exceeding 10 per cent per annum; that this trust is enforceable even though the right of the city to purchase the property and plant of the company should not be exercised within the period fixed by the franchise, so long as the company continues to operate as a public utility.

2. The right given to the voting trustees to vote the shares of stock of the Citizens Gas Company is valid and not open to legal objection. Under this voting trust agreement, it is the duty of the voting trustees annually to select a qualified board of directors to manage the affairs of the Citizens Gas Company and this right continues during the existence of the company and until and unless its prosperity is taken over by the city of Indianapolis. 3. The voting trustees are trustees for the certificate holders until such time as they shall have been paid in full with interest and as such trustees, exercise the voting powers above referred to. Their trusteeship has a public aspect also, in that it is their duty to see that the public charitable trust created at the organization of the company is enforced and carried out for the public. In view of the important questions involved and the claims likely to be asserted by those in interest, the trustees have been advfced that it would be unwise for them to consent to any disposition of the property of the Citizens Gas Company without fina 1 adjudication of important legal questions, and that to do so might involve them in personal liability. 4. At the time the Citizens Gas Company was organized, there was in' force Section 249 of the act of March 6, 1905. This section was amended in 1915, (Section 11129 Burns’ 1926), but as originally drawn and as now amended, it requires submission to the voters of the city of Indianapolis of any contract for purchase of a gas works. The Citizens Gas Company is engaged in business as a public utility and operates a by-product coke plant. More than half of its business consists in the sale of its coke. If any moneys of the city are required to be used in purchasirig this property, or its credit is to be pledged directly or indirectly for such purpose, an election would be required before the city could engage in this enterprisie, unless Section 249 is. for some reason, not presently operative. It was evidently the theory of the legislature that the city should not enter into municipal ownership of property of this character without assent of a majority of its qualified voters, voting at the particular election. In the opinion of our counsel, the effect of this statute is suspended by certain other legislation hereafter referred to. but if that legislation should be repealed or modified, an election would be required before the city could expend money j>r pledge its credit for the purpose of acquiring the property of the Gas Company unless, in the meantime, the certificate holders have been paid in full, when an entirely different situation would be presented. 5. The Citizens Gas Company, on Aug. 27, 1921, surrendered its franchise and accepted an indeterminate permit from the public service commission of Indiana. By sections 100, 102 and 103 of the. Shively-Spencer utility commission act, every public utility so surrender its franchise and taking an indeterminate permit consents that its property may be purchased by the city upon terms and conditions to be determined by the commission.

We are advised by our counsel that the state had the right to substitute the judgment of the public service commission of Indiana for that of the voters of the city of Indianapolis, at an election, as to whether the city of Indianapolis should acquire the property of the company, but that in any proceeding before the commission, if it shall be determined that the city should acquire this property, the commission will be bound to take into consideration and to give effect to the public charitable trust created in connection with the Citizens Gas Company and above referred to. The franchise of this company was surrendered and an indeterminate permit taken from the public service commission, as above indicated, because at the time the company faced bankruptcy under its then existing rates. The company could not have continued to function and obtain the necessary financing without surrender of its franchise and the action taken clearly was required by the conditions referred to. Sixth. Our counsel has given no opinion as to what effect, if any, the constitutional debt limitation of the city of Indianapolis may have upon this situation or as to whether the provision of the franchise requiring the company to execute a mortgage under certain conditions for the payment of the certificate holders is valid. It is our intention to carry out this public charitable trust, and if the public service commission of Indiana should, on the application of the city of Indianapolis, determine that the property and assets of the Citizens Gas Company should be sold t othe city of Indianapolis be sold to the city of Indianapolis holders, or if that statute should be repealed and it should be determined in an election that it was

desirable to make this purchase, we will, in every legal way possible carry out such decision, but in view of the many conflicting interests we would not be justified in turning this property over until the question had been settled finally by a court of last resort. If, on the contrary, the city should not acquire this property, it is our intention to administer this publlb charitable trust to the end that it shall be managed through the medium of the voting trust agreement and that the citizens of Indianapolis shall be supplied with gas at cost after the certificate holders have been paid a return not exceeding 10 per cent per annum, and the principal of their investment. Under no circumstances will we consent, unless compelled to do so by a decree of a court of last resort, to turn this property over for private exploitation or do any act which will amount to an abandonment of the public trust created at the time of the organization of this company.

DEC. 17,1928

LESLIE WILL ‘ DELAY PART OF HOUSECLEANING Changes to Be Made as Soon as Terms Expire at Statehouse. Partially true and partially untrue was the way Governor-Elect Harry G. Leslie today characterized the story that the predicted housecleaning of statehouse offices will be delayed until after the legislature. Leslie, who returned recently from a deer hunt in Pennsylvania, was at the statehouse this morning and conferred with Governor Ed Jackson. Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield; Alfred E. Hogston, state fire marshal and ardent Leslie campaigner. and John Cramer, assistant supreme court clerk, native of Lafayette and close friend of the Governor-elect. In commenting on the new appointments to be made. Leslie pointed out that changes will be made as terms expire and where deemed necessary, whether before or after the coming legislative session. Delay “Clean Sweep?" Certain political observers have out that should the so-called “clean sweep” be delayed until after the legislature it wil not assume any gigantic proportions. Tije history of Hoosier houseceaning in statecraft is that a legislative session, with compromises between various factions necessary to escure passage of measures In which this one or that is interested, causes things to retain their status quo when the session closes. This would particularly apply to the state highway commission and the directorship of John D. Wiliams, it is said. The movement of Fred King, Leslie supporter, to the secretaryship of the public service commission, where he succeeds J. Eteid McCain Jan. 1, was augmented by other moves in the office of Hogston, where King has served as attorney. Veteran Clerk to Leave The state fire marshal today an • nounced that Miss Nina E. Schoppc, who has been a clerk and stenographer in the office for nine years, will leave January 1. It is reported she will secure a position with the public service commission. Harry Gates, Goshen, who has been an investigator in the arson division for the past year and onehalf, is also slated to leave Jan. 1. Hogston said today that there are to be four or five others on the retired list, but refused to name them. He denied that had anything to do with the incoming Leslie regime and explained that, it was merely an effort to cut down an overmanned staff. Fill Auto Office Posts Everyone in his office was a Leslie supporter, he declared. Fifield announced today that with the addition of five to the clerical staff in the automobile license division positions they are now completely filled. The women appointed today take the places vacated when ten were fired with their last pay check. The new additions are Miss Rosch, Cayuga: Miss Bessie Springmeier, Greensburg; Miss Jeanette WhicLer, Amo; Miss Donna Kirkland. Pettersburg; Miss Mary Cochran. Sullivan. Death Notices PARK.
