Who Runs the Gas Utility

“—and for Whose Benefit?

* The question of who runs the Gas Utility is important to every gas user in Indianapolis. Is it run—as it was intended it should be — free of political interference? How has this been accomplished ? What safeguards have been established to protect the public’s interest? Does the public really benefit from the Gas Utility’s operation? How? Here are the answers:

T.. MANAGEMENT of the Gas Utility is a Board of Trustees. Originally, in 1935, two trustees were chosen by the Mayor, two by the judge of the circuit court and one by the City Council. After these original appointments, the Board of Trustees became a self-governing body, electing its own members every four years. The trustees’ primary function is selecting and appointing a Board of Directors each year.

Members of the Board of Directors meet regularly and are charged with *“. . . the exclusive government, management, regulation and control . . .” of the Gas Utility.

The salaries of the trustees are limited by law to $50 a year; the salaries of the directors to $50 a month. Both trustees and directors are forbidden by law to buy from—or sell to the Gas Utility—any materials or supplies.

Here are two bodies of men, the trustees and the directors, so organized, that neither politics nor personal considerations influence them. It was the intent and purpose of the State Legislature to completely insulate the department of utilities from political control. The nominal salaries, the legal restrictions forbidding personal gain, insure an operation free from personal considerations. These men serve on the two boards because they are civic minded; they base their decisions on what they honestly believe is the best for you—the gas user.

These men are now serving as trustees: Edward W, Harris, President, Hamilton, Harris & Company; Charles S. Rauh, President, The Belt Rail Road & Stock Yards Co.; Merle Sidener, Chairman of Board and Treasurer, Sidener and Van Riper, Inc.;

+ Thomas D. Sheerin, Partner, Thomas D. Sheerin and Co.; and

Howard T. Griffith, President, The Udell Works.

shese are the men, now serving as directors: Brodehurst Elsey, Secretary-Treasurer, Indianapolis Glove Company; Roy Sahm, Secretary-Treasurer, Bessire and Company, Inc.; John E, Ohleyer, Vice-President, Fidelity Trust Company; Donald J, Angus, President, The Esterline-Angus Co., Inc.; Leroy J. Keach, Owner, J. L. Keach Company; I. E. Woodard, Chairman of Board, Acme-Evans Company, Inc.; J. Ralph Fenstermaker, President, Hugh J. Baker and Company.

The answer to the question: Who, runs the Gas Utility, lies in this plain fact: A group of Indianapolis business men operate the Gas Utility as a public charitable trust.

In addition to creating such a governing body and effectively removing political and personal influences, the law prescribed adequate public safeguards over the monies spent: The Gas Utility's books are audited every year by the State Board of Accounts and a quarterly report is filed with the City Controller, Annual reports are also filed with the Indiana Public Service Commission.

The answer to the question: “Who benefits” may also be found in the law. As pointed out in a previous ad, what may be done with Gas Utility profits is fixed legally. Gas Utility earnings must be used to pay off outstanding indebtedness, to improve plant, service and equipment, to reduce rates.

There are no stockholders. Only gas users may benefit in one of three ways: as indebtedness is reduced, Indianapolis is closer to a debt-free Gas Utility; as plant and equipment is im-

proved, you as gas user gain through better service; as rates are reduced gas users benefit directly.

As an Indianapolis gas user, you are the beneficiary of a public charitable trust, operated for your benefit within the terms of the trust, by a group of civic-minded Indianapolis business men—freed from political and personal considerations.

Watch for the answers to the question: “What has been done with the Gas Utility's profits in the past 11 years?” This will be discussed in the next ad, to appear soon in this newspaper,
