UTILITY DENIED RIGHT TO QUIT Losing Jasonville Cos. Is Censured in Ruling. Public utilities must take the lean years with the/fat ones and can not halt a public service because they are losing money. This is the ruling made by public service commissioners in the Jasonville Water Company case. Company officials wrote Chairman John W. McCardle of the commission, saying they were going to cease operation on Sept. 15 because the city had not paid its hydrant rentals and has no funds to make payment. Notice that they were going to quit had been served on the mayor and common council at Jasonville, the letter said. McCardle turned the matter over to Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson, who wrote the order denying permission to quit. The order was concurred in by all commissioners. Cuthbertson also was the author of an order, approved by the commissioners at their Friday conference, which requires the public service company of Indiana to set up its full authorized depreciation in its annual reports on file with the commission.

Old Hippodrome Is Only Ghost of Past Glories By SEA Service NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The Hippodrome, once an international synonym for the spectacular and lavish, stands today as empty as the stomachs of those derelicts who make its iron-gated entranceway their camping ground. The once brilliant marquee is stripped to a skeleton. Dead bulbs announce that it is closed for the summer. A bank, acting in a receivership. is the owner. The big film concern that took it on lease

has no intent of renewing. Its neighbors have become employment agencies and cheap sodder spots for the unemployed who drift from one “help wanted "sign to another. Bums sleep in the protection of one sector of its large foyer. A crone sits looking blanklv out. a Trow -v red hat tilted o-.er one car.

ville tried to keep it alive'. A skyscraper was scheduled to rise on its former base, but the depression intervened. It fell into the hands of a bank. It became a straight picture house. Sixth avenue became a highway of jobless from Forty-second street north. And so the birthplace of the big extravaganzas and stage presentations came to be almost as any sloven on its street. The man who once staged many of the spectacles went to the Roxy-Rockefeller combination—and again there will be costly samples of the bigger and better.
