FAREWELL TO

Urges Continuation of His

State Affairs.
(Continued From Pape Onr)
o' ded the state tax board, high-;
v, y commission and conservation
cif partment.
Diversion of gasoline and auto- !
nr bile license revenues to local units
v s upheld. He urged that the
si •to highway program be con
fh ed largely to increased maintc- !
n: nee and that, construction be cur
ta icd. State use of Indiana prod
uces was advocated.
’olitics should be kept out of j
t! bi-partisan institutional boards,
11 ■ Governor said.
“Institutions at Peak”
“It may be said truly, and with
pardonable pride, that our institu
tional boards and institutions today
r ■ at the peak, due to the high
character, devotion to duty, sense of j
if ponsibility and energetic, unself
ish service of the personnel.
Appointments have been made I
consistently in the last four years
with a view to the competent man
agement of the institutions and to
the assured veil-being of inmates
of those institutions.”
He warned of the danger of “false '
a ;nomy” in caring for wards of the |
state. Praise was also bestowed by 1
the Governor upon the state’s part
in poor relief.
Rehabilitation of the executive
mansion was termed “economical” j
and has been done "in such a way ;
as to reflect, credit upon the state.” j
Leslie stated. Washing and dust- j
ing the statehouse was also de
fended by the Governor.
Leslie urged attention be given to !
the banking survey report. As to ,
maintenance of the state’s military, j
Leslie said:
“The Indiana national guard
should be kept at its present peak j
of efficiency. It has demonstrated j
in convincing fashion its emergency }
value.”
He predicted that Hie pledge of
co-operation between executive and |
legislative brandies of the new ad
ministration “promises w'ell for
constructive results.”
“The majority spoke in no uncer
tain terms on Nov. 8,” he concluded.
“The vote carried admonition, in
struction and summons to duty. It
was not merely a party vote. It
was not merely a vote of confidence.
It was a mandate, sending replace
ments to the front line lor extraor- j
dinary duty. That mandate should >
be regarded as marching orders I
rather than an indorsement of any j
political party.
“Confidence may be forfeited by ;
a political party before it has been j
fairly earned. The political pendu
lum swings both ways,” he declared.

COUNTY MERGER
Bill PROPOSED
Seeks to Establish 23
Judicial Districts as
Economy Step.
Support of the Marion county
legislative delegation for a proposed
bill combining forty-nine counties
into twenty-three judicial districts
as an economy step will be sought
by Willis E. Gill, former representa
tive and Putnam county auditor.
Gill has submitted his plan to the
Indianapolis and Indiana State
Chambers of Commerce, and to va
rious tax reduction groups for con
sideration.
He pointed out that Monroe and
Owen counties are able to function
satisfactorily with one joint circuit
judge, and that the same thing is
being done in Jackson and Law
rence counties.
Using the Monroe and Owen ju
dicial district as a basis, Gill has
arranged a proposed grouping of
counties with relatively equal popu
lation and number of cases filed
annually, which would mean a sav
ings of about $138,000 a year to the
state and counties. The combina
tions:
Clay and Putnam; Park and Ver
million; Warren and Benton; Foun
tain and Montgomery; White and
Carroll; Cass and Miami; Black
ford and Jay; Fayette and Rush;
Bartholomew and Shelby; Clark
and Floyd; Adams and Wells; Ful
ton and. Wabash; Kosciusko and
Marshall; Hendricks and Morgan;
Posey and Gibson; Decatur, Frank
lin and Union; La Grange, De Kalb
and Steuben; Hancock and Hamil
ton; Howard and Tipton; Spencer,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
CITY CONSIDERS!
PROPOSAL FOR
NATURAL GAS
Cincinnati Firm Presents
Plan to Augment Supply
of Artificial Product.
Introduction here of natural gas
is being considered by city officials
to augment the output of manufac
tured gas of the Citizens Gas Com
pany. it was announced today by
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. The
plan would save consumers half a
million dollars the first year it is
claimed.
Decision on the plan will not be
made for some time, the mayor said,
because of the intricate questions
involved.
Offer of the natural gas was made
by Westheimcr and Company of
Cincinnati. The concern would
supply a minimum of 250.000.000
cubic feet, obtained from the Mis
souri-Kansas Pipe Line Company
at a rate of 40 cents a 1,000 cubic
feet for the first 150,000,000 cubic
feet.
Rate for more gas would be scaled
down so that the city would pay 30
cents a 1,000 cubic feet for all over
400,000,000 cubic feet.
Several Angles Studied
Questions outlined by Mayor Sul
livan as involved in acceptance of
the offer include:
Possible effect on the Citizens
Gas Company, which the city now
is seeking to acquire through liti
gation; financial backing of the
Westheimcr firm; legality of acquir
ing gas from the Missouri-Kansas
Pipe Line Company, which is in the
hands of receivers, and advisability
of buying under a twelve-year con
tract, proposed by the Westheimer
people.
The natural gas would mix with
the manufactured gas of the Citi
zens company, it was said, and
would make possible a lower rate to
the consumers. Manufacture of
coke and other by-products by the
local concern would meet with no
interference, it was claimed.
Financial backing of Westheimer
& Cos. appears to be sufficient, the
mayor said. However, he declared
that he will give more study to this
angle.
Contract Is Problem
Also to be examined is the legal
position of the receivers of the pipe
line company in letting a long term
contract. Mayor Sullivan pointed
out that should contracts be made,
and later be found to be invalid,
the city’s acquisition and operation
of the Citizens company would be
hampered seriously.
Contract offered by Westheimer
would be in force for twelve years,
with the stimulation that the city
might renew for eight more years.
The city must study the contract in
the light of better business condi
tions in prospect, as well as with an
eye to the present situation, the
mayor stated.
Under the proposal, the gas would
be delivered at an agreed point at
the city limits within thirty days of
the time the city received written
notice that the fuel was ready for
delivery.
Rates Are Given
Rates stated are 40 cents a 1,000
cubic feet for the first 150,000.000
cubic feet; 35 cents a 1000 cubic feet
for the next 100,000,000 cubic feet;
32 V-j cents a 1,000 cubic feet for the
next 150,000,000 cubic feet, and 30
cents a 1,000 cubic feet for all over
400.000.000 cubic feet.
The fuel is to be measured at the
point of delivery, and the volume to
be corrected to 6 degrees Fahren
heit and eight ounces above 14.4
inches barometric pressure.
Average barometric pressure in
Indianapolis is 29.15 inches.
