Indianapolis Power Franchise Move Ties to Woods Control
The Indianapolis light and power company plans to transfer all property to the Marion county heating and lighting company whose stock is owned by Floyd A. Woods. Woods, a Republican figure and attorney for the power company, has moved stock to the power holders and may soon relocate franchise rights, potentially renewing business value. The plan could allow the city to buy the franchise via three appraisers or require a new grant, with the potential name change of the Marion county firm back to the Indianapolis power company while continuing operations.
