CITY WATER RATES UNCHANGED BY U. S. COURT RULING

BALTZELLSETS FIRM'S VALUE AT $21,393,821 Fair Rate of Return Is 6 Per Cent, Federal Jurist Declares. LONG LITIGATION ENDED Costs Will Not Be Raised, Company’s Attorney Asserts. Indianapolis water rates will not be changed by the ruling of Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell yesterday, Joseph J. Daniels, chief conn el for the Indianapolis Water Cos., said today. The ruling, which ended litigation started in 1932, when the company sought a temporary injunction against the Public Service Commission, set the value of the company’s properties at $21,393,821, and the fair rate of "eturn at 6 per cent. The water company had estimated value of property at approximately $28,000,000, and had contended that a fair rate of return on this would he between 7 and 8 per cent. Water rates are computed on the fair rate of return. Under Judge Baltzell's ruling, Mr. Daniels explained today, the company will be unable to raise water rates now existent in Indianapolis. Declines to Comment He declined to say whether the company now is earning 6 per cent on its property, and withheld further comment on the court’s ruling until final entry of the decree is made. This probably will not be for several weeks, as Judge Baltzell has called upon the Public Service Commission to provide a draft of special findings of fact and law. The 1934 corporate income of the water company was $1,270 816.00. A 6 per cent return on the $21,393,821 valuation fixed by the court would be $1,283,569.26. Litigation on water rates started in 1932, when the Public Service Commission began an inventory of the company's properties. Before completing this inventory, the commission decided that water rates were too high in Indianapolis, and made a temporary rate reduction. The company then asked a temporary injunction on these rates, which was taken before a three-judge court. Permanent Injunction Asked This temporary injunction suit was dismissed when the Public Service Commission made a permanent rate schedule, to which the water company asked a permanent injunction. The suit later was before Albert Ward, special master in chancery, who valued the property at $20,282,143. Judge Baltzell, in yesterday's ruling, raised this valuation by allowing 40 cents an hour for common labor, instead of 30 and by raising the water rights valuation. These were two of the points on which the company had based its fight. Judge Baltzell’s ruling denied the company right to include among useful properties acreage near Oaklandon, bought more than five years ago for the building of a dam in Fall Creek. The judge pointed out in his opinion that this action had not been taken, and that the land was used merely as farmland. No further action will be taken by the Public Service Commission, Atty. Gen. Phi’lp Lutz Jr. said today. He said the order of Dec. 30, 1932, which fixed the present water rates, will stand. APPEAL BOND IS SET AT $17,500 FOB HITCH Convicted Former Deputy Remanded to County Jail. Special Judge E. E. McFerren today set the appeal bond for Ralph Hitch, former deputy sheriff, convicted ol embezzlebent, at $17,500, and Hitch was remanded to the county jail. Judge McFerren denied a motion to arrest judgment, which charged that the jury that convicted him was not properly picked and that embezzlement is not a public offense. He formally sentenced him to a two- to-21 yearss in the Indiana f f ate Prison and fined him SBOOO. STATE TRAFFIC CLUBS WILL AID AT PARLEY Assist l ocal Group in Arranging National Session Here.
