FOR LAW SUT

|city Gas Officials Claim

Burden: of Lease Too Great.

The Citizens Gas and Coke Utility board today prepared a defense for 2 sult Bled in Federal Court here a3 the outgrowth of the board’s refusal to accept a lease made by the Indianapolis Gas Co. The suit was filed by the Chase National Bank of New York acting as truste: for bondholders of the company. In its complaint the bank contends that payments should be continued on the lease as they were previous to the purchase of the®*Citizens Gas Co, by the city. Board members ‘declared that the lease was too great a burden ior gas consumers of the city: that a provision of the lease requires rental rates on Indianapolis Gas Co. properties shall increase as the price of gas is lowered.

Suit Surprises Board

The Board also contends that it has attempted to make an amicable settlement . of the matter by the making of several temporary agreements providing for provisional payments. Members asserted that the aggregate payment for 1935 on the lease amounted to approximately $585,000 including interest, dividends and taxes. The suit came as a surprise to the board. Members had hoped that the question could be settled out of court. Few court hearings are held during the summer and it appeared unlikely that action would be taken before the fall terms. In a statement the board pointed out that on Oct. 1, 1913, the Indianapolis Gas Co. made a 99-year lease of its property to the Citizens Gas Co. requiring it or its successors to pay rental to the amount of 6 per cent annually on the $2,000,000 capital stock of the Indianapolis Gas Co. Certain other smaller provisions also were included.

Temporary Agreement Reached

Although the Board rejected the lease assignment on Sept. 9, 1935 it asserted it reached a temporary agreement on Sept. 30, 1935, to pay an amount equal to the payments that would have been made for the

period of six months from Sept.

9, “without prejudice to the position or rights of the Indianapolis Gas Co. or city, for use of the property.” The Board further stated that a temporary agreement was reached on March 2, 1936, whereby the city paid the Indianapolis Gas Co. a
