Demurrers Heard in Gas Company Case in Indianapolis
Federal Judge F E Baker heard demurrers to an ancillary bill by Rosa M Cole executor of Byron Quinby and Eureka Investment against Consumers Gas Trust and others. City and gas company attorneys argued as court weighs the city option, re appraisals, and the rights to sell plant properties with a potential receiver to sell for 500000. The case dates to a prior ruling reversal affirming the citys option and ongoing litigation continues.
