We can now deliver Ford cars to you with reasonable promptness.
Leave your orders without delay, if you would be wise. The prudent man
carries his umbrella when it is dry, because any fool can carry one whpn
it rains 1 . .

everrdependable and universal “Ford After-Service.” Here we are, with
the genuine made Ford parts, Ford mechanics, and Ford equipment, to
give service to Ford cars instantly, so that your car is never out of com

IML lotion for Shin Disease
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 ac
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 rei urn 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 taxes, exceeding $86,000 for the year,
could not have been anticipated by the Public Service Commission
in it 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 this
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 lias been favored by an ad
vantageous coal contract and lias 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.
The average increase asked of domestic users is only a slight
increase per month.
We hopefully ask the co-operation of our patrons ih the mat
ter of the pending petition. Very respectfully,
INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY.
