CURB ON INVESTMEN

BY UTILITIES UPHELD

The Indiana Supreme Court ruled

yesterday that officials of munici-pally-owned utilities “have no legal right to invest reserve funds of the utilities in bonds or other securities.” i 2 The opinion, which affirmed a decision of the Randolph Circuit

Court, held that the depreciation,

reserve funds of a city-owned utility

must be placed in a public deposi-

tory “the same as other. public

money” and kept for use in maintaining the utility plants.

The decision was given in the case

of Rudolph G. Leeds, a Richmond taxpayer, who sought a declaratory judgement against the City of Richmond. i : ;

Richmond city attorneys appeal

the case on the ground that a 1913 law permitted reserve funds of lic utilities to be invested.

pubThe Supreme Court held that a

1933 amendment to the old law excluded municipally-owned utilities from investment provisions of the 1913 Act.
