More Employment with Natural Gay.
To build a really Greater Omaha, the people of
Omaha should vote for Natural Gas, because this
cheap fuel will permit our industries to expand.
Increasing our industries means putting more men
to work in Omaha; it means more jobs.
The growth of a city depends upon its advantages
over its neighboring cities. Omaha’s neighboring and
competing cities have Natural Gas and cheap fuel.
That is why many industries have decided to locate
in those cities instead of coming to Omaha. If
Omaha gets Natural Gas, industries will be induced
to come to Omaha.
Omaha industries have pleaded for
cheap fuel for fifty years. They have
known that the lack of cheap fuel
has kept many industries out of
Omaha. Hold out your hands to
new industries; help this city be
progressive. Vote for Natural Qas.
The change from manufactured gas to natural gas
will be absolutely without expense to domestic usens.
Stoves will be ajustedby toe Jcilities District without
charge, and the adjustment will require only from
five to ten minutes. The oresent pipe lines into
houses will not be disturbed. Any statements to the
contrary are false.
The bonds of $1,500,000, which you must approve to
get Natural Gas in O niha, are for new centra! “high
pressure” mains. These are necessary because more
gas will be used. The Bonds will NOT increase
taxes. Interest and principal will be paid with earn
ings from the sale of gas, just as all water and gas
bonds are now paid.
Permanent, even pressure is guaranteed. It is

known by actual tests and measure
ments that the present gas fields will
supply all the territory for at least 50
years. Beware of many false statements
being made against Natural Gas. Many
of these false statements are being
made by those with selfish intent.
