(INS) The Public Service Company of Indiana today apicaled to Hendricks county circuit court for relief from what il described as an unrealistic rate Ijoost tU'ciMon. 'II. util.ty charged rejection of its $4 -million a year rate increase by the Pub ic Service Commission cut its stock market value $15-mil-lion. It further stated the no-increase ruling was unlawful and irregular and amounted to confiscation of property. PSCI, which furnishes electricity to customers in 70 counties, is headquartered in Hendricks county at Plainfield and the appeal naturally went to Danville.

To Fight Case There was no indication when a ruling could be expected but PSC Chairman Warren Buchanan said the state agency will fight the case as vigorously in the courts as public counselors fought -it in the hearing rooms. Observers beaeve this rate case as rate cases involving the Indianapolis Water Company and Indiana Bell Telephone Company will go to the Indiana Supreme Court. PSCI President Robert A. Gallagher said the Commission failed to take into consideration the heavy inflation of the past 10 years in setting a completely unrealistic and wholely inadequate return of 5.4 per cent."

More Water Action for Acton Indiana Bell Is Asking Rate Boost County Patrons Would Be Affected INDIANAPOLIS (INS) Resi-elents of Marion, Morgan, Hancock and Johnson counties who are served by the West New ton or Cumberland exchanges of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company face the likelihood of higher rates, but with them will come greatly increased calling areas. Indiana Bell today petitioned the Tublic Service Commissiem for permission to establish extended service areas including Cumberland, Twinbrook and Indianapolis exchanges Broadway, Glendale, Gar-filed, Idlewood, Humboldt and Walnut. This is in addition to four other Indianapolis exchanges already free to Cumberland. New Service West Newton Ulysses telephone users would have these Indianapolis exchange areas added to the portions of the capital city they already call without charge Fleetwood, Walnut and Humboldt. Rates would increase from for a single party line in Cumberland and S5.75 for a single party line in West Newton to S6.25.

Four-party line rates, now. S3. 50 and S3. 85 respectively, would be S4.10. The West Newton and Cumberland users now pay 15 cents toll on calls to the exchanges proposed as free.

Some 60.000 Indianapolis phones would be added to the two areas. Cumberland includes parts of Marion and Hancock counties, and West Newton services and portions of Marion, Morgan and Johnson. Try our Cranberry Sherbet at Franklin Pure Milk Company. 100 6 1 5 -v o. 5 NOVEMBER 7.
