Dissent Over Water Valuation In Indianapolis Case
Samuel R. Artman and Frank Wampler of the public service commission publish a dissenting order on the Indianapolis Water Company valuation set at 12 million dollars as of December 31 1923. The majority had set 15 260 400 including structural overhead and working cash capital. They protest the lack of a rate schedule and seek a clear plain English plan that denies the rate increase and requires the city to pay for all water used with an annual net surplus of 85 000. The dissent condemns the appointed commissioners for approving the higher rates.
