SAYS INDIANA PUBLIC 'SERVICE BODY COSTS I ONLY $85,000 YEARLY i 1 (By Asaoclmted Preis) ;; IXDIANAPOUS. April 14. Maintenance of the public service, commit

plon costs the state ' of . Indiana an 1

average of les8, than. .$85,000 a year, according to- an estimate, made today by John McCardle, chairman of the commission, on, figures, for. the last six fiscal jears. . Mr. McCardle ma do public a statement calling attention to an alleged error contained in (Charges made by yhat he termed n "so-called Felf-government bureau," which he charged has been sending to candidates for public offices through the state demands for the abolishment of the commission. "This stateemnt Is not intended as nn answer to such a demand,' said Mr. McCardle. ,"Any possible action looking toward the abolishment of the public service commission, which in my opinion would be a mistake, should be based on the "Jnerits of the case. In the interest rof fairness, however, I think the facts should be-set forth. It is charged that the state has appropriated $150,000 a year to maintain the Dublic service commission. This is rot Cites Annual Costs. I! "For the fiscal years of 1916 and 3917, the annual appropriation was $117,000. .For the fiscal years 191$ r.nd 1919, It wan $109,000. and for the fiscal years 1920 and 1921,-the yearly appropriation of $100,000. This maks3 ; total of $652,000 In six years. "On the other hand, the public service commission law requires the utility companies to pay fees to the commission covering the expense of audits and valuations. In Bix years the fees have amounted to $324,182.33. ?The ' expenses of the commission in klx years have amounted to $787,971.51. Because of the fees paid by the UtMUy companies, the commission usually turns back to the state an unused balance. In six years the money so turned back has amounted to $146,468.21. This means that instead of the public Service commission costing the state $150,000 a year, operation of the public pervice commission has cost on the average $84,252.29." .
