Muny Sale Plan
to Be Studied
Mayor Appoints Committee to
Investigate Charter Amend
ment Advisability.
Mayor J. C. Dahlman named Com
missioners John Hopkins and Dean'
Noyes • to serve with himself on a
special committee to investigate thq
advisability of railing a apecial elec<
tion to amend the city charter to glv^
the city authority to sell gasoline,
fuel oil, lubricating oil and establish
a municipal bakery.
This action is in line with a recent
resolution offered by Commissioner
Hopkins, who will serve as chairman
of this committee. The recent reduc
tlon of gasoline has removed Imme
diate necessity of the city going Into
the gasoline business now, but Hop
kins believes the city should be pre
pared for ^iny future contingency.
Commissioner Hopkins, however,
said he is Interested In a municipal
bakery. He proposes to have the old
tire engne house at Twelfth and
Dodge streets remodeled to serve as
a bakery. His contention is that the
low price of wheat is not being re
flected in the price of bread In
Omaha.
