The Public Service Commission of Indiana today set aside July 23, 24

and 25 for tha hearing on the peti tion of the Indiana Electric Light Association for a 30 surcharge on each bill rendered for electric service. Thirty-six companies join in this pe tition. Their services cover most of the state. The dechion may govern the attitude of other companies. Tne hearing, therefore, la of general interest to every community. In conformity with the r. -tr policy of the Public Service Commission of In diana, thia informal notice of the hearing is being given today to all con cerned through Commercial Clubs, Chanibets of Commerce, etc., and th newspapers. The hearing will be held at tha State House, Indianapolis, and will bo open to all. Formal notices including copies of the petiuon itself, are being sent to city clerka and may be consulted. Summarised, the petitioner allege 1. That the rate now in effect are based on the average of normal or pre-, vailing prices of coal, labor, material amd taxes. iVThat during the past year, the peitioning utilities have been compelled to bear an extraordinary and unpre cedented increase in these cost and of all other element entering into ?ost production and distribution. 3. That the utilities are unable to contract for future deliveries of coal -xecpt at a very great advance over the normal price, and believe it will not be possible during the continuance it th war to purchase either coal sup plies, materials or labor except at prices far in excess of normal. 4. That the average percent of increase of prevailing price over normal price are: Coal, 194', ; Labor, TO.fi'', ; Copper, 144.86", ; Miscellaneous supplies, 65.91';; ; Taxes. 48.41'.; ; Equipment, 51. 14 ; General Operating, 45.50', . 5. That, for oome months, utilities have suffered financial losFe; that such Josse will result in the curtail ment of present service, inability to Snanae neeetcary estcr.siens and addi tions, and in insolvency of many utilities if temporary relief ia not given immediately. The petitioning utility companies ask that "a a temporary expedient" authority be granted to add to each bill rendered in a surcharge mfficient to return to it the difference between the prevailing excessive prices and the normal prees upon which the existing schedule are based,' and the surcharge necessary is estimated at 30' . The petitioner assert that uch surcharge, as is prayed for, i not designed to increase net profit. The petitioner allege that tha de mands of the government for material and product will result in requiring extensions, improvements and adiii tions to existing plants and more in tensive operation, and that the credit of such public utilities should be main taincd to finance these demands. The petitioner ailnge that in England such steps were taken after the beginning of the war and that the surcharge has oeen increased to RO'I . Rt'RAL ROL'TK 1.
