HERE ARE THE FACTS

STRIPPED OF THE SMOKE SCREEN OF
CONFUSION CREATED BY LAWSUITS
AND MIS-STATEMENTS, THIS IS ALL
THERE IS TO THE POWER CONTROVERSY
The eastern holding company which owned Nebraska Power Company was
ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to dissolve. That meant
a change in the ownership of the Nebraska Power Company seemed evident.
To prevent ownership and control going to outsiders, a group of loyal citizens
interested in the welfare of the people of Omaha, organized a non-profit cor
poration and bought the common stock of the Power Company under pledge
to turn it over to a public agency for the benefit of the people.
The non-profit corporation paid the same base price as previously offered
on three occasions:
A. By Consumers Public Power District of Columbus in May,
B. By Mayor Butler’s Committee headed by W. J. Coad in
C. By Peoples Power Commission in 1943 (on two seaprate
occasions).
4. The Loup River Power District borrowed the funds required by non-profit
to buy the stock. This money was then deposited with the non-profit corpo
ration and with it they bought the common stock.
Loup does not own the Nebraska Power Company.
Loup does not fix the rates.
The contract for the purchase of power from Loup can be
cancelled, and will be as soon as the transfer to a Public Agency
is completed.
5- HERE IS THE RESULT.
THE COMPANY WILL SOON BE OWNED BY THE PEOPLE.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP WILL SAVE THREE MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.
THIS SAVING CAN BE USED TOWARDS PAYING OFF THE EN
TIRE INDEBTEDNESS AND TO
REDUCE YOUR ELECTRIC RATES
