BILLS PROPOSE ABOLISHING OF UTILITY BOARD Third Measure in House Would Change Methods of Fixing Valuations. I'wo bills abolishing the public service commission and a third reestablishing it, but changing the method of fixing valuations for rate malting purposes were in the hands of house committees today. One bill abolishing the commission is similar to the Cann measure of 1927 and would re-establish the old railroad commission which existed prior to the creation of the public service commission, and place all utilities under control of local governments. The first of two measures introduced by Representatives Cecil Klst:er (Rep., Elkhart) a xl Edward E. Eikenbary (Dem., Wabash) would abolish the public service commislon. The second would re-establish it as it is at present, but have all valuations made on the actual cost of equipment at the time of purchase, less depreciation. Change Valuation Plan The present system in fixing valuations is on the basis of reproduction, less depreciation. Utilities would be required to file copies of their federal income tax with their annual report to the commission, and another section would prohibit utilities from manufacturing or selling devices designed to consume its product, if the property used for manufacturing or the overhead for the selling is Included in the valuation of the utility for rate making purposes. This is seen as a blow at the gas and electric companies which sell appliances to housewives.

Clinn Ellyson (Dem., Lake), provides that the salary fixed by law be the sole compensation for treasurers of such cities.

The SSOO would be allowed the judges In lieu of traveling expenses. Other new legislation pending in the house Includes a bill governing stay of execution and bail in criminal cases adhere the defendant is under a minimum sentence of ten vears and requiring the defendant to show probability of reversal before ball is permitted; two bills permitting consolidation of townships and counties, and a measure prohibiting prosecuting attorneys or their assistants from filing divorce proceedings.
