Indianapolis Water Company's $18 Million Rate Base Hearings Begin
At the public service commission hearing Indianapolis Water Co argues for a rate base of 18.1 million dollars and a return on that valuation as the case opens. Key figures include William Pickens of the Chamber of Commerce and city counsel Taylor Groninger. The company proposes 280,936,000 gallons of free water annually and presents three appraisals by Hagenah Erickson. The commission withdraws its January 1923 order setting a 10.455 million base, while observers note ongoing project additions and a possible 17.25 million base by year end. Continued testimony is expected today with cross examination likely.

Maxwell's Trial Exposes Relationships Abroad and Letters
New York July 24. A pen portrait of George Maxwell president of the Americans of Authors Composers and Publishers as a Lothario who wrote poison pen letters to husbands and relatives to end affairs is outlined in a brief by Assistant District Attorney Maloney. The filing opposes Maxwell’s motion to dismiss indictments accusing him of sending such letters to Allan A. Ryan and others. The case cites Maxwell’s alleged affairs with Mrs. Ryan and other prominent women, including a Danish opera singer and a concert artist, and notes a husband’s death after receiving one letter. The prosecutor details Maxwell’s travels with Mrs. Ryan and visits to New York, London, Paris, Lake Como and Milan, with further visits to York Harbor, Maine.
