Gas company freed to shut off natural gas in Indianapolis
Judge Budge Neal of Hamilton county Circuit Court dissolved the temporary injunction limiting the Indianapolis Gas Company. He ruled gas supply has dramatically declined, wells decreased from 120 to 97, and consumers withdrawing exceeded 6,000. He noted field exhaustion and warned continuing service would be impractical while asserting some patrons still lack reliable gas. The decision ends the injunction but compels continued supply as feasible under the 1887 ordinance.

Gas Firm Delays Shutdown as City Weighs Options
The Indianapolis Gas Company will postpone cutting off gas for a few days not later than a week to allow about 5,000 city consumers to seek alternate heating and lighting. Manager Pearson cited partial service to high pressure mains and the dissolution of a prior injunction as the cause for delay while directors plan salvage and future use of gas wells. City Attorney Joss declined to specify next steps and referenced an appeal before the Supreme Court involving new wells and emergency capacity.
