from Saturday's Dally.
The residents of the city who use
Sixs in their homes or in their places
of business have in the past few days
jeen greatly agitated as to the out-
:ome of the matter of gas. rates and
he statement of the Nebraska Gas
& Electric company that it would be
.lecessary to close down the plant if
oiue relief in increased rates wis
.lot given.
A number of the patrons of the
.ompany has stated that they would
liuth more willingly pay the rates
that are proposed than to have to
undergo all the inconveniences of
making changes in their homes to
provide for the replacing of gas
heaters and stove-. In almost all the
modern homes gas stoves for cook
ing have been installed and these
would be worthless with the service
discontinued as the company has
stated it will be necessary to do with
the present condition prevailing.
A solution of the problem is
something tiiat is interesting the
citizens and it is hoped that some
medium can be found that will stave
iff the hardship that must be im
posed in the shutting off of the gas.
The ordinance granting an in
crease to the gas producing company
pany will be acted on at the forth
coming toeeting of the council an!
members of that body will do their
utmost to see that the best interests
of the city as well as the patrons of
the gas company are protected.
The ordinance increases the rate
from $1.75 to $:'.10 per' thousand.
)r an increase of thirty-five cents
per thousand feet. While the coun
cil as well as other citizens dislike
to have atfy additional burden laid
on the people it seems that this ac
tion is necessary if the statements
of the light company are true. The
time of the ordinance is to cover
three months from the day of its
passage.
The management of the light com-J
pany has prepared figures showing
the cost of maintaining the plant
and the revenue derived from it and
is willing to submit the figures and
the books of the company to the in
spection of any patron of the company.
