Compares Gas
Rates Here with
Other Localities
District Manager Fred Rea, Absent
when Matter Discussed Aug. 7,
Addresses C. of C. Diners
From Thursday's Dally
Routine business, report from ore
committee cf importance and the cre
ation of another comprised the high
lights of business transacted at to
day's Chamber of Commerce luncheon,
at the conclusion of which the sub
ject of natural gas rates was again
broached and District Manager Fred
Rea, himself a member of the direc
torate, but who had been absent at
the meeting two weeks ago. was re
quested to state his company's posi
tion in the rate matter, both as re
gards small consumers and the es
tablishment of an equitable heating
and commercial rate.
Mr. Rea had secured comparative
rate schedules from different com
munities now being served with nat
ural gas extending westward as far
as Colorado, into Kansas, where gas
is available in some localities with
out necessity of extensive piping and
at St. Joseph and Kansas City, Mo.
In each instance he showed the pro
posed Plattsmouth rate schedule is
little. If any higher, for the small
quantity consumer, and said the rate
to be charged here is one that has
been worked out from experience in
other cities with natural gas, where
fcj the smaller consumer has to pay
a proportionate amount of the cost
of maintaining a distribution system,
even though his actual consumption
of gas be only a few hundred feet
each month.
On house heating rates, his com
pany's price of 60c per thousand af
ter the first 5,000 is as low as any
quoted in Plattsmouth, and in fact
only in larger cities and after ten
thousand feet is any lower rate avail
able at the present time, being 50c
per thousand for the excess consump
tion. Mr. Rea stated that the average
figures among their 450 gas custo
mers for July snowed a -residence
consumption of around 1,800 cubic
feet, now costing $3.60, while under
the new rates the cost would be $2.93
or a saving of 67c per consumer and
the users of larger amounts would
save proportionately larger sums on
their monthly bill. He said his com
pany was going on the assumption
that it. is best to start at a rate high
enough to insure against having to
ask the council or courts for an in
crease after a few months, and cited
examples of voluntary cuts in rates
on electrical consumption given the
people of Plattsmouth during the
past few years as conditions warrant
ed the same, declaring this course
would be followed by his company
in gradually lowering rates on the
natural gas.
He further stated that due to a
much higher heat content, the nat
ural gas consumption will fall off
from 30 to 40 per cent to accomplish
the same results.
Mr. Rea's talk was most enlight
ening and was listened to with much
interest by the twenty odd members
of the directorate present at today's
luncheon.

From Friday's DeTy
This afternoon an action was filed
in the office of the district clerk in

work of constructing the supply lines
from the Missouri Valley Pipeline

composed of Charles Jones, S. B.
Hovey, of Independence, Iowa, and
J. G. Richey of this city, of which
company they claim to be the legal

Attempt Made
to Rob Bank of
Union Last Nite
Robbers Sledge Off Locks on Eank
j Vanlt But Unable to Gain
l Entrance to Safe
From Saturday rany
The Bank of Union last night was
visited by burglars who in a very
crude manner attempted to gain en
trance to the large vault in the bank
and in which the safe containing the
cash funds of the bank is kept.
The entrance to the bank build
ing was gained by means of a rear
window that was pried open by the
robbers and they then proceeded to
turn off the light that is usually
kept burning in the main banking
room at night. The men had evi
dently been supplied with sledges
with which they battered ths doors
of the bank vault and in their en
deavors to get into the vault they
knocked off all three of the locks
on the doors.
Unable to gain entrance by knock
ing off the combination locks an at
tempt had apparently been made to
pry a part of the casing of the doors
and this was equally fruitless to the
robbers.
The fact of the attempted burglary
was discovered early this morning
and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young has
tened to the scene and remained un
til the arrival of representatives from
the office of State Sheriff W. C. Con
dit. who took pictures of the finger
prints that were left by the parties
who made the fruitless effort to gain
entrance to the vault.
The bank officers m arriving this
morning found it impossible to get
into the vault and the bank was un
able to conduct their usual business
until a safe expert could be secured
who could force the way into the
vault and have the combination
locks restored.
In order to permit the bank to care
for the needs of its patrons a Bupply
of money was secured from the
Plattsmouth State bank to care for
the-day's business, this being hur
ried to Union In the care of Deputy
Sheriff Young and-turned over to
Senator W. B. Banning, the cashier
of the Bank of Union.

and ignored the stop sign as well
as the signals of Officers Pickrel and
Hadraba, shouting back several re
marks to the officers that were not
fitting for the more refined social
circles also giving directions In which
the officers might go. A few mom
ents later the parties again made
their appearance In the main part
of the city and stopped, they then
being arrested.
After Bome effort they secured

the necessary funds to secure their
release on the posting of a bond to
