Fatal defect in Indianapolis gas franchise exposed
An Indianapolis lawyer argues the city’s gas franchise lacks a clause binding the company to continue service after quitting. He notes the ordinance lets price changes by agreement and says many franchises omit guarantees of ongoing supply, with the company potentially abandoning obligations in court if revenues fall. A legal challenge could seek removal of the franchise through federal court.

New York Sept 30 The money market faced severe strain as Secretary Shaw unveiled relief steps. Banks may skip the 25 percent reserve against deposits backed by government bonds to release about $30 million and provide roughly $130 million in credit.

London opened with fraught signals as funds evaporated and call money spiked to 3.5 percent. Major stocks fell across the board, with losses from 4 to over 5 points, totaling around $70 million in three days.
