ELECTRIC RATE CUT CREDITED TO TVA POWER Memphis Company, However, States Reduction Is ‘Experiment.' By nirorrl \c%c*paprr Alliance MEMPHIS, Tenn., I>c. 28.—A voluntary reduction of about 14.5 per cent in its electric light rates, announced this week by the Memphis Power and Light Company, is being attributed here to the influence of Tennessee Valley Authority’s low rates. Claiming that the rates established are lower than can be justified from the standpoint of all legal principles governing the rate-mak-ing policy of a public utility, the power company says the experiment was undertaken to increase its volume of business. Editorial comment, however, calls attention to the "coming shadow of TVA power." The power rate reduction coincided with a statement from the authority of its decision that development of Aurora dam on the Tennessee river should be a part of the TVA’s integrated power program. embracing the entire river basin. Heretofore, private interests have endeavored to take over Aurora. Located in Kentucky, about for-ty-four miles upstream from the confluence of the Tennessee and Ohio rivers at Paducah, Aurora dam would be the closest TVA power generating plant to Memphis. City Takes Reduction By Scripps-Uotcard Xewspaper Alliance FT. WORTH. Tex., Dec. 28.—The Texas Electric Service Company has offered and the city has accepted rate reductions that will mean savings of $150,000 annually to consumers of Ft. Worth. The rate reduction came as the city was endeavoring to obtain a loan from the Federal Emergency Public Works Administration to construct a municipal power generating plant and distribution system. In the face of the rate cut, however, petitions are being circulated to force a vote on the public versus private power issue.

Wedell, famous racing aviator, to speed her to Dr. Dandy after she was stricken on Christmas. V'edell made a spectacular flight, averaging more than 140 miles an hour for the 1,400-mile dash. He planned to return to the south today.

SKELETONS OF INDIANSFOUND Bones Near Noblesville Thought Remains of Mound Builders. Skeletons of four Indians, one a giant of six feet four inches, have been unearthed near Noblesville, according to information received by the state highway commission and the civilian works administration authorities at the statehouse. State officials were notified of the find by Dr. Lee Klot, head of the CWA at Noblesville. He informed the Statehouse yesterday that a group of his men at work on Road 13, more than a mile north of Noblesville. had found the skeletons buried in a circle, feet pointing to the center. Floyd Christian, Noblesville attorney and regarded as an authority on American aborigine lore, informed statehouse officials he believed the skeletons to be those of mound builders, traces of which have been found in various places in Hamilton county. The skeleton of the Indian giant was buried in the conventional position, but the bodies of the others apparently had been buried with their feet bent backward at the knees. All the skeletons, embedded in clay, were found about four feet below the surface by the road repair crew.
