“I would have to know whether the utility would become a political | football, who inspired the proposal, {whether the bonds could be sold at fa low interest rate, whether water rates could be reduced, and answer to many other questions in my mind. At present, I have a perfectly open mind in the matter.”

Calls City Credit Good

In discussing his proposal, [Cable said today that the municipal [credit situation “is very good, @&s evidenced by the last two bon | issues, one selling at 2 per cent and {the other at 2!¢ per cent interest.” “There seems at present to be the probability of an increase in our local water rates,” he added. “For that reason, the immediate present] seems an opportune time to make the stuay.” | Dr. Cable said utility rates are) a factor in move to Indianapolis. “We are anxious,” he said, “to at-|

! The company’s rates have been subject of litigation several vears, In 1932, the Indiana Public} Service Commission reduced certain {rates from $150 to $1.25 a month. A three-judge Federal Court denied the company's plea for an injunc-| tion, and gave the Commission time | to complete an appraisal of the firms valuation, which eventually was set at $22.500.000. The company continued its fight | for mjunction. During the proceedings, Albert Ward, special mas- | ter In chancery, evaluated the firm's property at $20,282,143, but this was increased to $21.392821 by Federal Judge Robert C.

As to these possibilivies, I 1Jave no conclusions, my only thought is that it will do no harm to make inquiry at this time. “I suggest that the Council select a special committee to investigate this matter, all of which should

MEEETING OF A. M. A. NOT TO AFFECT SUIT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (U. P)). Attorney General Cummings said today that the American Medical Association House of Delegates meeting in Chicago will not affect the proposed antitrust action against the A. M. A. and the Dis-

Mr. Cummings said he understood

the A. M. A. delegates had adopted!

a resolution stating that it is not and has never been a monopoly. ‘Of course the Department of Justice did not contend it was a monopoly,” Mr. Cummings said. “We

complain of unlawiul restraints of |

trade, of efforts to coerce and boycott—eflforts carried to the extent of consultations and closing the doors of hospitals to physicians of approved professional qualifications.” Mr. Cummings said the A. M. A. delegates “in the main” indorsed the President's health program and this “represents substantial progress.”

10 ARE INDICTED IN ‘ROASTING’ DEATHS

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20 (U.P). —The superintendent, deputy warden, a guard captain and two guards were indicted today by the Grand Jury on murder and manslaughter charges growing out of the “heat” deaths of four inmates of Philadelphia County Prison. Five other guards were indicted on manslaughter charges.
