I
Famous Gas Engineer
Recommends FULL
NATURAL GAS
Service for Omaha
The necessity for increasing Omaha’s
gas supply is urgent, in its search for
the most economical and practical
method of increasing gas service, the
Metropolitan Utilities District retained
one of the foremost Gas Engineers of
the country. Mr. Charles R. Bellamy
of New York, to make a study of local
conditions and advise the District and
the people of Omaha. His recommen
dations and views can be depended
upon to be impartial, and to represent
the best technical knowledge asaibble
in the gas industry today. As a matter
of pnblic information, the Utilities Dis
| trie! publishes here extracts from his
: official repon made to the Board of
i Directors of the District on Sept. 4.
Which Is Better .. . Mixed
Or Straight Natural Gas?
It is my recommendation that the
Metropolitan Utilities District convert
their gas operation to 100 per cent
natural gas service this coming sum
mer or as soon as the conversion can
be properly made.
The only advantage tkai I can find
ior 800 B.t.u. gas over straight natural
gas in Omaha is its lower conversion
cost. This, however, would probably
be only a temporary advantage ici
sooner or later I believe you will
want 100 per cent natural gas and
the combined cost oi changing now
to 800 B.t.u. gas and later from 800
B.t.u. to straight natural would be
considerable more than the cost ot
converting directly from 600 B.t.u. to
straight natural gas service. Under
Omaha s conditions I find that
straight natural gas service would
be superior to 800 B.t.u. gas in both
oi the above respects, and therefore
believe that this type of service is in
the very best interests oi both the
Utility and the general {Sublie.
Complete Conversion Next
Summer If Possible
Every effort should be made. 1 be
lieve. to convert your system to nat
urnl gas next summer. Due. however,
lo the rather unsatisfactory general
conditions that exist today, it may
not be possible to do the complete
Job in one summer. There are a num
ber of uncertainties which everyone
should recognize, for example, you
may not be able to get all the ma
terial required for a complete job by
next June or July. Furthermore, ex
perienced service men for change
over work will undoubtedly be diffi
cult to secure in any large numbers
because most gas utilities are some
what behind in their distribution
work and may be reluctant to let
their good men off for several months
to help another utility do Us conver
sion work.
Notwithstanding all this, I feel that
you should plan to make the com
plete conversion next summer. If all
materials required for this work are
ordered promptly you may be able
to accomplish this objective. By next
March or April you should have a
pretty good idea of the material and
labor situation and then if it appears
certain that there will be further ma
terial shoratges or difficulties... you
can modify your plans accordingly.
What About Bates With
Straight Natural Gas?
When a company changes to natural
gcs the question of rate is always an
important one. The change is one
which should eventually lead to low
er rates, but it is not always advis
able to do this at the start. .. . When
a utility company has to pay 100 per
cent of the conversion cost it is sel
dom advisable to make any appre
ciable change in rates, especially
where the domestic rates lor manu
factured or mixed gas service arc
already relatively low. This is the
case in Omaha . . . Omaha's rates
have been established on the basis
of giving gas service to the general
public at minimum cost. With natu
ral gas service, it is my opinion that
after you have recovered the cost of
making the conversion and there has
been some growth in the general
business, that you will be able to
make attractive rate reductions. The
point 1 wish to emphasize is that it is
difficult to tell jus^how soon this can
'3 realized.

ALPHA OMEGA CLUB
Time nor space does not permit
an accurate or complete survey of
the activities and fun sponsored by
the Alpha Omega club during the
summer months. To name only a
few: a dude ranch tacky party
with all the members in their most
tack attire: a fine weiner roast at
Mandin Park including singing,
games and plenty of good food for
all; get-togethers: Fourth of July
picnic: Labor Day icnic; and oh yes
a kiddie partie where all the gals
turned the clock back a couple
(couple that is) of years to the
time when pig tails were the limit
and dresses were only so long
(short).
At this point, don't feel that Al
pha Omega went out completely
for fun and frolic, for such is not
the case. As an educational pro
ject a special program was given
including talent from the club and
a wonderful travelouge by Dr. Aa
ron McMillan. Refreshments were
served following the program. Fur
ther, do not forget the spiritual
side, the club attended Salem Bapt.
church in a body, Sunday Sept. 15.
The club ended their summer
follies with a dance at the Near
Northside YMCA Tuesday, Sept.
10. The ballroom was decorated
very attractively in pink and black
with a large sack suspended from
the ceiling containing balloons of
assorted colors. The highlight of
the evening was about 11:00 pm.
when the balloons were released
by.. someone in the crowd of peo
ple who were ulling unmercifully
at the cord on the balloon bag.
Thus, the end of a perfect sum
mer with plently of fun; so back
to school and books until next sum
mer when we hoe to have still more
fun.
Miss Florentine Goodlett is the
president of this fine group of more
than thirty college boys and girls.
In her usual coy manner she states
that leadership with such a swell
following is simply WONDERFUL.

In Art Competition
Negro Refused
NEW YORK—When young Jas.
1 W. Anderson, of Cleveland, O., was
1 informed that he had wo- second
prize in the 11th Annual National
high school Competition of draw
ings aand paintings conducted by
the Kansas City art institute and
school of desi rn. he had to pinch
himself. It seemed almost too good
to be true.
The prize he had won was a half
year scholarship to the Art Insti
tute. Jim’s dreams of truly be
coming an artist seemed about to
be realized. Subsequent letters
from the Institutes’ Registrar in
that all arrangements were being
made for his admission and James
congratulated and feted by
his friends and family.
That his rejoicing was premat
ure was painfully obvious when, a
month later, Jim received a let
ter from the Manager of the In
stitute telling him that the school
had just learned he was a Negro
and would therefore be unable to
accept him as a student in view
of the fact that Missoura was a
border state with strong southern
I tendencies.
Jim was disconsolate. He had
been so set on going on with his
"todies. He decided to write
1 the school and ask them for the
cash eouivalent of the half-year
scholarshin so that he could trv
to get the training: he so desired at
some less oreindiced school He
was somewhat taken aback when
he was informed that this im -o'=
sible, as scholar?bins were n°ver
given in cash in view of the fact
that all sccholarship awards made
through the Competition were do
; nated bbv Kansas City busine"*
■ firms, which carefully watched the
-.-TO-- ‘bp -f„Hrnt= asoj jrnofj
i to their work at the Institute. Ob
viously. stated the Institute's exe
cutive manager, if the student is
not actually in school, nothing un
der the school's regulations and
procedure authorized them to a
ward money for the payment of
tuition at another school.
At that point, Anderson wrote
to the NAACP, requesting that it
intervene in his behalf. On Aug
ust 27th, Assistant Special Coun
sel, Robert L. Carter, wrote to the
Art Institute’s director, reviewing
the sequence of events which had
taken place between Anderson and
the school and concluding “it is
our impression that by June 21st
it was too late a date for you to
refuse Mr. Anderson his scholar
ship which you had already aw
arded contingent upon his accep
tance”. Mr. Carter requested that
the NAACP be informed of the
school’s plans with reference to
, James Anderson so that he could
I be advised as to how to proceed.
Anderson worthwith received a
>m the school, informing
him that the authorities had a
greed to make a special dispensa
tion in his case and awarding him
he monev equivalent of the half
year scholarship on the condition
that it be used to enter some other
school of art. A check for $112.50
was enclosed.
James Anderson wrote to the
NAACP with a warm letter of his
roy Hilton; Art Smith; David Mil
ler; William Thompson; Ted John
son and Marion Williams.
