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. Wescott. will take
the matter up with the leaders of the
movement in Omaha and the Cham
ber of Commerce of that city in an
endeavor to find out just how much
of an effort will be required to secure
the natural gas line through thi:
city or at a nearby point where It
will be possible to get connectlor
with the line.
