Paid Advertisement by the Omaha Gas Company, ! -Operation in City Building V Among tho most important obligations resting upon service companies is participation in the col lective labor and enterprise which makes and ad vances a community. ' Proper performance of the functions of the Gas Company are of genuine conoern tb every citizen, since both ho and the City are affected. Tho sorvico company that keeps pace with the growth 6f a city, and somewhat in advanco of it, is of the greatest benefit to municipal development. !he company, on the other hand, which is financially or" otherwise incapable of doing i& work properly, is a detriment and community liability. So far as the individual iB concerned, utility ser vice contributes to his comfort, economy, conven ience, value of property, choice of residence location, the health of himself and his family and the safety of his property. PEW, IP ANY, OTHER ELEMENTS CONTRI BUTE SO MUCH TOWARD INCREASING PROPERTY- VALUES AS ADEQUATE UTILITY SER VICE. The citizen who expects to vote on the proposed gas "franchise should satisfy himself that tho Gas Company has fulfilled theso obligations reasonably well in the past. Omaha has an area of more than 24 squaro miles. In excess of one-half of its latwi consists of vacant lots, parks, etc There are, at present, 250 miles of gas maJnB. Tho number of customers per mile of gas main in Omaha is 18 per oent LESS than the averago for gas companies with smaller gas output throughout the United States. This fact adds to the cost of dis tribution, , The increase in tho milage of mains during tho , last ten years has been at almost identically the same ratio as the increase in population. During the ton years beginning with 1903 and ending with 1912, the Company laid 80.59 miles of , additional mains in Omaha and installed 13,774 ser vices from street mains to buildings. Within tho last ten years the Company con structed a modern 1,200,000 cubic foot gas holder, greatly increased its manufacturing capacity and made extensive additions to the purifying nnd other apparatus. Pour distribution centers, or pressure regulating stations, were established at differont points in the city. Many minor additions and im provements were made. THESE PACTS PROVE THAT .THE GAS COMPANY HAS NOT NEGLECTED ITS RE SPONSIBILITIES. Mains have been extended whCreever there was a reasonable demand for gas, and the Company has ctively pushed the sale of ita product. The gas business is not spectacular. The publio is best servod by quiet, unostentatious work, carried ota without interruption, carefully and efficiently, with tho,interests of patrons always in mind. The Company employs an average force of 400 persons. They are paid good wages, and many havo been in the service for years. Everything which the Gas Company uses which can be purchased locally is bought in Omaha, A LARGE PART OP THE MONEY INVESTED IN PROPERTY ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS, TOGETHER i WITH THE LARGE PAYROLL, IS CIRCULATED AND REMAINS IN THIS CITY. , OMAHA GAS COMPANY Everybody reads The Bee.
