WHAT NATURAL GAS
WILL MEAN TO OMAHA
Natural gas will bring about an
immediate saving of more than $500,
000 a year to gas users of Omaha, if
the people vote to accept the natural
gas proposal, according to Mr. W. J.
Coad, Chairman of the Metropolitan
Utilities District.
“This saving,” Mr. Coad said, “will
extend to every user of gas in the
city except those who pay the mini
mum bill, of whom there are a com
paratively small number.
“This will be the minimum saving,
and practically all of it applies to the
use of gas for cooking. The saving
will be much larger when people be
gin to use gas for house heating.
“The saving on each bill, except the
minimum bills, will be approximately
30 per cent as soon as natural gas is
installed. While only half as much
natural gas will be needed to do the
work of manufactured gas, we are
being liberal by estimating that the
saving will be only 30 per cent. In
many cases the saving will be 50 per
cent.”
Chairman Coad said that natural
gas will also bring about more em
ployment in Omaha by enabling the
Omaha industries to develop and
spread out, because natural gas will
furnish them with cheaper fuel than
they now use.
Mr. Coad said also that the people
of Omaha will be assured of an un
interrupted gas flow because the
source of supply from the Panhandle
section of Texas has adequate gas
pools, and the pipe line which will
bring the natural gas to Omaha will
be the largest ever constructed in the
United States. Every precaution of |
engineering science has been taken to I
insure a continuous flow of natural!
gas.
The $1,500,000 gas bond issue
which will be necessary to construct
mains in Omaha if natural gas is
brought to the city, will not increase
taxes one penny, according to Mr.
Coad.
“A rumor has been spread that the
issue of the bonds will increase the
taxes,” said Mr. Coad. “Such a
statement is erroneous. Both the
principal and interest on these bonds
will be paid from revenue obtained
by the sale of the gas.
“The issuance of bonds by the
Utilities District has never increased
taxes. When we purchased the gas
plant we had $5,000,000 worth of
bonds outstanding. By July, 1930,
we will have paid off $1,500,000
worth of these bonds, even though we
have decreased the rates of gas and
water while paying off this indebted
ness. If the gas bonds are approved
by the voters, our bonded indebted
ness will be no greater than when we
bought the gas plant.”
Mr. Coad said fhat the Utilities
District has an excellent contract
with a natural gas company, and that
he feels it is a grand oppqrtunity for
Omaha.
“No city that has ever been of
fered natural gas has turned it
down,” Mr. Coad said. “The fact
that the natural gas people are will
ing to invest $30,000,000 in a pipe
line to bring natural gas to Omaha,
is a good assurance that they feel
that it will be a tremendous success,”
said Mr. Coad.
The special election on the natural
gas bond issue will be held on Sep
tember 25. Everyone is urged to
vote.
Employes of the Omaha Ik Council Bluffs
Street Railway Company are trained to he
courteous . . to give extraordinary serv
ice, and to give that service with a smile.
When you buy three tokens for twenty
cents, you get not only three smiling
tokens, but also the courteous attention of
the conductor.
Street cars are essential to the life of the
city. Without the street cars, many
would be without any form of transporta
tion to go to work or to take part in the
life of the city.

■j A BIG EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION £
£ to be held at £
KRUG PARK—September 11 £
£ We are hereby calling the public’s atten- 5
tion to this big event. We have heretofore, £
■: no doubt, witnessed this day of celebration £
£ in Omaha, but never before have we had it J
j: in this wise. J
j There is a big effort being made by the ■:
■: Committee to reach every organized group 5
:* of race people in and around Omaha, in £
:• order that they may share in, or have a ■:
■J chance to share in this affair. We are hop- im
j ing to have every church group, every fra- J
< ternal society and the business and profes- £
J sional men to participate in this celebration. :■
J We have heard from many sources, much *:
J criticism about a date for this celebration. £
To that we have only this to say: In the J
J Slave States, the dates differ; in Nebraska, £
■' there is no fixed date for this occasion, for £
this was not a slave state. So, we use a date J
£ on which we can secure a place that fur- £
£ nishes such recreation and amusements as £
J this day calls for, hence, the day and place J
% this year is $
■ >
September 11th, at Kryg Park! £
■! ■!
■: Another objection has been that it has }
been a single-handed effort. That objection :■
j* this year is removed by reason of the fact J
■: that all groups are being approached to take ■£
:■ part. , i
jC
■: Still another objection has been because £
j: some have thought that the churches and $
:■ pastors should not have the dance pavilion £
■: operating under church management. That
■: objection this time is removed, for the Krug 5
:■ Park Amusement Co. had contracted with :j
Mr. John Smith for the dance pavilion last ■:
■: March, so the churches will have no hand in :■
;• the management of the hall. i
•
:: Now let us all get together and have a big ■:
■j day of co-mingling one with another and at 5
;■ the same time celebrate in a large way our £
j: Race Freedom. J
£ The following named brethren have been £
:■ approached and have agreed to co-operate
■: with the plan. From Fraternities: 5
