STATEMENT OF PDLICY
To The People of Nebraska
There are four towns in the
state in which both Consumers
Public Power District and the
respective towns own and op
erate electric systems. The
municipal plants and Consum
ers District are both owned by
the people of the state and both
are non-profit operations. An
overlapping of the operations of
two such public agencies, both
in existence to attain virtually
the same objectives, seems
neither economical nor
sensible.
The spectacle of one group of
public officers conducting a
public business, owned by the
public, so as to retard or de
stroy the efforts of another
public agency operating a prop
erty owned by the same public,
Is tiof'one to inspire admiration
'' ’vfc 8. ... * '
from anyone who looks at the
matter from the point of view
of a citiaen who, in reality, pay*
the bills.
In view of these facts *nd th
the interests of the most eco

tion of Your Consumers Public
Power District, taking into con
sideration all communities
served by the state-wide sys
tem, the board of directors, act
ing in the capacity of public
officials elected by the people
to administer the affairs of the
District in the best interests of
all Nebraskans, have adopted
the following policy with re
spect to the District’s position
in the four communities in
which both Consumers and the
respective cities carry on an
electric business.
In those communities in which the District has lew than hall I I

A Word Of Commendation
The O’Neill Commercial Club
demonstrated the night of No
vtembtr 14 that they can stage a
program that we all like and the
farmers (for miles around attend
ed. Prof. Ira George, who has
rendered a great service to, the
community, especially the stu
dents of the schools, and' the
young musicians who he leads, are
deserving of much credit for this
entertaining affair. The O’Neill
hand, composed as it is of young
men and women of exceptional
talent, is one of the best, so with
the band to start them off any
program the Commercial Club
stages ■ an assured success.
