Indianapolis Considers New Gas Franchise With Public Oversight
A proposed Indianapolis gas company introduces a 60 cent per 1000 cubic feet rate and a 1 million capital stock open to auction. The charter requires public stock auctions for extensions, a five member board controlled by trustees with mayoral nominations, semiannual financial disclosures, and city takeover options after full repayment to stockholders or via bond funding. The plan emphasizes no water stock, strong city supervision, and potential municipal ownership after settlements.
