Will Seek the Natural Gas Line Thru This City Chamber of Commerce to Address Omaha Chamber on Securing Line Through Here The question of the securing of the natural gas line into Omaha which is to be voted on September 25th, has led to the route that the natural gas line will take in coming into the state from the south and west and the local Chamber of Com merce has decided to take up with the Omaha leaders of the movement for the securing of the natural gas. the matter of having the line past through this city and where It could be handled very acceptably with the lines of the local company. Many points where natural gas has been in U6e speak very highly of the gas as a means of fuel and heat and while the decision as to the advantages of the natural gas is not unanimous, a great deal of sentiment has been produced at Omaha in favor of the proposition. Whether the gas line is sent through this state depends on the action of the Omaha people at theii special election and should the con tract carry and have the approva of the residents of that city, the line could well be routed from Kansar City north through the cities of Falls City. Auburn, Nebraska City and Plattsmouth and permitting these cities to have the use of the gas if they so desired and Increasing greatly the number of users of this means of heat, light and fuel. The committee of the Chamber of Commerce which was appointed today by President C. C.
