Coal Strike Hastens
————————————————————————
Inquiry Follows Failure of Utility to Answer Council's Requests for Natural Supply
A formal investigation into the operation of the municipally owned Citizens Gas & Coke Utility will be begun this week by the city council. Decision of council to probe the
utility crystallized last night
as a result of the utility board's fallure to answer the council's recent Interrogatory, asking the board to clarify the status of negotiations for natural gas. Objective of the investigation is to determine the factors involved in the eventual distribution of natural gas here, to replace the artificial gas which the utility now makes from coal. The imminence of the coal strike, which, if protracted, would shut off the city's gas supply, appeared to hasten the council's decision on the probe. No Answer Received After months of parleying with utility executives, the council has now taken the position that the natural gas question has become critical for Indianapolis.
The utility announced that it ‘was |
negotiating with the Panhandle & Eastern Pipeline Co. for natural gas

{last summer, but executives of | Panhandle denied that negotiations | were in progress. I In an interrogatory last month, {the council asked utility directors |to clarify the situation, So far, no answer has been received, according | lo Herman E. Bowers, council's fi- | ance chairman.
| Detailed questions relating to the | use of net operating revenues by the
utility for additional manufactured gas equipment have not been answered, Mr. Bowers said. Legal details of the investigation was being prepared today by cor-
| poration counsel Arch N. Bobbitt. { Court action was indicated unless
the utility voluntarily permits the council to examine its books and records. Investigation Follows Report Council's decision to investigate followed the release of its second report covering a more general and more informal inquiry into all In- | dianapolis utilities. I The report charged that 1945 gas rates in Indianapolis were 140 per {cent higher than. rates charged. by {85 natural gas companies in the | United States. Industrial rates here [are 300 per cent higher than natural |gas rates, it added. “The ten-year gas bill through | 1945 for Indianapolis residential and {commercial customers was $28,345,|463, an average of 14.3 cents per {therm,” he report said. “The ten-
{ year reported profit aggregated 1 $6,200,000.” The report then recommended
that council determine the answers ito four questions: Inquire of $6,200,000 ONE: Why did the utility manjagement reject natural gas when {it was available? TWO: If natural gas is not now available, what has the utility manjagement dpne to assure Indian{apolis a source of supply of natural gas in the event the contemplated transmission lines are built? THREE: What has been done with $6,200,000 net income (since 1£35) since it has not been employed

There appeared to be little chance | for revival of the issue, according to members of the board of works and sanitation who said it was the last proposal they intended to submit to the council. Parking meters were included in the master plan for relieving traffic congestion in the mile square. Opponents of the measure argued | that the eventual goal of the city, is to have off street parking in the| downtown area; so ‘why encourage| parking on the streets by installing meters.” Vetoed by Mayor Tyndall, the fair employment practices ordinance {had been returned to the council for final getion. Motion Fails
It provided against discrimination {by the city of “any employee or applicant for employment because
of race, color, creed or national origin.” Dr, Meriwether made a motion
to pass the bill over the mayor's veto. It failed for want of a second. Councilman Meriwether asserted he will introduce a similar measure in the near future, ' Mayor Tyndall's letter returned with the legislation stated: “Provisions against discrimination already are fully covered by state statutes. The bill could serve no useful purpose.” Councilman Worley {introduced the ordinance for-a change of cab rates for Red Cab, Inc.; United | Taxi Co., Inc., and Yell-O-Taxi Co.,
