2 STEEL FIRMS

- MAY MOVE HERE

Seek Permission to Erect ~ Buildings for $210,000 Industry. Plans for the construction of two and possibly three scrap steel proc-

essing plants here with an estimated total investment of more than

$210,000, were disclosed today by Val]

MecLeay, City Plan Commission secretary. Two groups already have filed petitions with the Zoning Board seekng permission to erect buildings to

i $70,000 compressors used to

convert scrap sheet metal into ingots. Myron Green, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce industrial commissioner, said the steel compressing process 1s relatively new, accounting for the sudden activity of scrap steel companies in making use of junked automobile boeies and other auto parts.

One Petition Denied He said he believed that the business would benefit the city by “cleaning up the junk yards and ridding the city of wrecked automobiles frequently seen in unsightly piles in many sections.” One petition was filed by B.-A. Winston, 3510 N. Pennsylvania St., for establishment of such a plant with a hydraulic press for light metals at the northeast corner of Pine and Lord Sts. The Zoning Board last week denied the petition because they ‘said the location could not be used for such a business. Mr. Winston is expected to file for a rehearing.

Hearing Is Set

The more recent petition was filed by the American Compressed Steel Corp., with new offices here at 428 Illinois Building. The corporation, which operates compressed steel plants in many large cities in the Midwest, is seeking a variance of the zoning laws to permit construction of a plant in the 1100 block of ‘E. Maryland St. A hearing is to be held Dec. 12. Mr. Mcleay said plans were under way for construction of a third such plant on Madison Ave. with an investment of approximately $70,000. Xe said he was unable at this time to disclose the names of the firm’s backers. The petitioners in the other two enterprises could not be reached for comment.

BALM SUIT CHARGES

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 7 (U. P.).— Superior Judge Henry M. Willis reviewed today the evidence in Nancy ‘Dixon’s $75,000 breach of promise suit against Peter Balma, stepfather of the actress, Martha Raye. Judge Willis said the testimony - conflicted regarding Mr. Balma’s al- . leged promises to marry Miss Dixon on several occasions. She testified that he met her when she was 17, later gave her two rings and seduced her at a Chicago hotel in 1936. She admitted being married while keeping company with Mr. Balma but said she never lived with her husband and divorced him Jan. 10, 1936. Mr. Balma denied her al.Jegations. rir ect BATTLE GROUND MAN DIES : LAFAYETTE, Dec. 7 (U. P)— Charles W.

would cost $46,040,107 to reproduce new the company’s intrastate equipment, and that the reproduction cost less depreciation, or the present value of the property, was $41,138,966. These figures were -read into the record of the Telephone Company’s State-wide rate case by Public Counselor Ralph E. Hanna during a hearing before the Commission yesterday. The company already has introduced evidence claiming a total value of $80,218,005 to reproduce its intrastate equipment new and a present valuation counting depreciation of $45,184,635.

$18,808,459 Value Here

The figures do not include any allowance for cash working capital or organization expense and no separate allowance for “going concern value.” Of the $46,040,107 figure to reproduce new the company’s intrastate property, Commission engineers estimated that exchange property aecounted for $38,481,110 of the total, while of the total less depreciation, the exchange property was fixed at $34,299,117. The difference was the value of the toll property. It was explained that exchange property is that used for local calls in various communities, while toll property was that used for longdistance calls within the state. On the Indianapolis exchange, Commission . engineers placed the reproduction cost at $18,808,459 and the present value at $16,921,042, as compared to the company's estimates of $20,487,582, reproduction cost, and $18,423,324, present value, inch takes into account depreciaion. Commission engineers said they arrived at their estimate after making a detailed inventory of 32 exchanges, representing. approximately 75 per cent of the total exchange property, and comparihg their fig-

DROPS IN STATE

County Figure Unchanged; Increase Expected in Stamp Purchases.

As officials predicted that Christmas seal sales here may exceed those of 1937, Dr. M. R. Lchman, Ft. Wayne, president of the Indiang Tuberculosis Association, which is sponsoring the drive, today announced a survey showing a decrease in the death rate from the disease in the state. Deaths decreased from 49 Jor each 100,000 population in 1936 to

47.4 in 1937. In Marion County, the rate held its own at 74.1, according . to Dr. Iohman. * “Tuberculosis’ still remains the leading cause of death in the age group of 15 to 45,” Dr. Lohman said, “and thus is a chief destroyer of homes.” “The battle against tuberculosis is having results,” Dr. Lohman declared, “and all of us. are given za cpportunity to participate in it through the purchase of Christmas seals.” : Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis Association, declared: “It is important that new cases be discovered in their early stages, thereby insuring early recovery and the return of adults to their homes and communities as able citizens.” “It is especially encouraging when we learn that, through casefinding programs, more people who have the disease are being discovered. Last year, more than 110,000 new cases were reported, an increase of 3000 over the previous year,” he said.

ratio of difference between these figures, they projected this difference to get an estimate on the total intrastate property. It was pointed out that the valuation considered for rate-making purposes is the present value of the property, or the reproduction cost less depreciation. The Commission attempts to fix rates which will yield a fair return of profit on the company’s property. No date was fixed by the Commission yesterday for resumption of hearings. The company has concluded presentation of its, case except for rebuttals. The case began when several cities, including Indianapolis, filed petitions asking rate reductions with the Commission. These cases were combined at the request of the company, which claimed it would be unfair to make rate reductions in specific localities without considering the effect of these reductions on the company’s entire state property.
