LEAGUE CLOSES
MEETING HERE
Recommends City Reorgani
zation on New Lines.
"Organization of Metropolitan Areas”
was the general subject for discussion
at the closing session at the Claypool
Hotel of the twenty-sixth annual meet
ing of the National Municipal League.
"Essentials in the Political Integra
tion of Metropolitan Areas” was the sub
ject of a list of tentative suggestions
prepared for the session by Professor C.
C. Maxey of Western Reserve fniverslty
and among the suggestions were the fol
lowing: That counties in each State
should be classified as rural and urbaa.
with generally uniform types of organi
zation available for each class under the
optional plan: that urban counties should
be so organized that all functions of
local government of the county may bs
performed by cne set of officials; that
whenever there Is a population of 50.000
or more In a metropolitan area, whether
the same be organized as one or more
than one city, such metropolitan area
should be detached from the rural
county or counties of which it is part
and should be erected Into a separate
urban county, but not until all of the
separate cities, towns or villages com
posing such metropolitan districts have
been consolidated as a single entity for
purposes of municipal government; that
the so-called "borough plan” or Federal
rlan of organization Is fundamentally
unsound except In certain unique in
stances where topographical and eco
nomic conditions are such as to demand
administrative differentiation as between
districts of a metropolitan area; that ad
ministrative unity, which Is the para
mount object In the consolidation of con
tigious municipalities and the detach
ment of urban areas from rural coun
ties, should not be sacrificed in order
to secure loose and unreal Integration.
It was pointed out by George C. Sikes
of Chicago that the great need of metro
politan communities Is thorough-going
reorganization on the basis of unity,
simplicity and the short ballot; that
within city s-e.os county government
should be abolished and county func
tions should be vested In the city govern
ment. and that to these propositions com
paratively little opposition is offered, so
long as the propositions remain general
in form.
It further was pointed out by Mr. Sikes
that when it comes *to the elimination of
any particular governmental agency,
through consolidation, the officials of that
government with one a<'et>rd begin to de
vise excuses for inaction.
Various other features pertninlng to
city-county consolidation were touched
upon by speakers at the meeting.
A resolution was adopted thanking
the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce,
and particularly Robert E. Tracy, di
rector of the Bureau of Municipal Re
search of the chamber, who had charge
of the local arrangements for the meet
ing, and wrose work in that connection
was deeply appreciated by the conven
tion.
Preceding the afternoon session, at a
joint luncheon of the league and the In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce, there
was a talk on city planning by George
B. Ford of New York. who. after telling
of some of the work in city planning that
be had done in France, touched npon
city planning In this city.

To The Patrons
—of the ——
Indianapolis Water Cos.
The Indianapolis Water Company has filed its petition with
the Public Service Commission, asking for a small increase in
water rates.
\
The increase sought will amount to only a few cents per
month to the average domestic user, but however slight, it will
affect all of our many customers and we take this method of ae
quainting our patrons with the conditions which necessitate an in
creased revenue to this Company. #
The Indianapolis Water Company, as a public utility, is ob
ligated to provide the City of Indianapolis, its people and its en
terprises with a sufficiency of pure water for domestic, industrial
and municipal purposes. Its duty extends not only to the In
dianapolis of today, but to the Indianapolis of tomorrow as well.
Fulfillment of this obligation to serve means a constantly increas
ing investment in pumping capacity, filtration facilities and street
mains to safeguard the future of a thriving and prosperous City.
Upon the efficient functioning of this Company depends not only
the convenience of our people, but also the protection of property
against fire and, to a degree, the health of the community, .
Reasonable Rates
The “reasonable rate” which a utility is entitled to charge
for its product is one that will meet the actual costs of operations, ,
including taxes, protect the physical properties as against de
preciation and pay a reasonable return upon the fair value of the
properties used and useful in the enterprise. The “reasonable
return” that a utility should receive is a rate of return that will
induce capital to enter the business—that will enable a utility to
attract the additional capital needed for street main extensions
and other additions to the property.
The present schedule of rates as allowed by the Public Serv
ice Commission gave this Company approximately $125,000
annual increased revenue. This amount was required to provide a
reasonable return upon the property after meeting an operating
expense based upon the experience of the year 1919.
During the year 1920. however, this Company encountered
the same upward trend of costs which has wrought havoc with all
forms of domestic, commercial and industrial enterprises. , .
Increased Taxes
Not only have materials and labor advanced, but State,
County and City Taxes have risen to unprecedented heights.
The City, County and State Taxes of the Indian
apolis Water Company for the year 1920 will amount
to $244,000, as against the sum of $157,897.49 for the
year 1919.
This marked increase in faxes, exceeding $86,000 for the year,
could not have been anticipated by the Public Service Commission
in its order last fixing water rates.
We wish the public to appreciate this fact—
that the Public Service Commission after
investigation allowed us additional reve
nues for the year in the amount of $125,000,
and unexpected increased taxes for the
year have absorbed over $86,000 of thi*
relief.
Other costs have aided in practically wiping out the total ad
ditional revenues to which the Commission found we were en
titled. During the year our Company has been favored by an ad
vantageous coal contract and has not been compelled to pay the
peak prices which have obtained during recent months. When
this contract expires we will encounter much higher coal prices—
even if we are able to secure suitable coal at the prices established
by the Special Food and Fuel Commission.
Betterments
During the year 1920 this Company has expended $320,000 in*
additions and betterments to the property. The requirements of
the City for the year 1921, if properly met. will involve a further
investment of about $600,000. To protect against a shortage of
filtered water during the summer months we propose to begin at
once the construction of a ten-million-gallon storage reservoir,
which will cost about $285,000. This heavy investment will mean
protection to the public, but will not add to the revenues of the
Company. We should expend, also, during the year over $200,000
for street main extensions.
The extensive betterments planned will require additional
capital, which must be secured at the high interest rates prevail
ing and can only be secured upon a showing of satisfactory earn
ings.
Every citizen is directly interested in seeing this Water
Company keep abreast of the City’s splendid growth. The Com
pany appreciates the important part it must play in the progress
and development of the City of Indianapolis. It seeks in its
present petition only such added revenues as are required to en
able it to maintain the high standard of service which has attend
ed its operations.
y The average increase asked of domestic users is only a slight
increase per month.
We hopefully ask the ed-operation of our patrons in the mat
ter of the pending petition. Very respectfully,
INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY, jj
