You Will Miss Something if You Fail to Read the Want Ads .u NO. ,4 20 The Rate-Reduction Franchise Means Rate Regulation by the City "Wo have called your attention to tho estimated saving of upwards of $700,000 to gas users during tho next 5Vy years if the rato reduction frnuchiso ordinance is approved by tho voters August 19tli. This is the saving which will result from an im mediate reduction of 15 cents per thousand feet in the price of gas. This, with the same quality of manufactured gas you now receive, which is not excelled in any other city. The 5 year period is used because it is as far as an estimate or calculation can be made. Under tho rate-reduction franchise, tho price of gas is to be fixed by tho mayor and city council by contracts for short periods. Tho mayor and a majority of the city council havo announced that tho first contract period will not bo longer than the remaining years of tho presont franchise, which expires December 31,1918. At the end of this period tho gas rato cannot bo mado higher than $1.00. It may bo reasonably anticipated that future gas rates will be progressively lowor. Such is tho desiro of tho gas company. Therefore, no estimate can be made of the addi tional saving to gas users after 1918, and during the remaining 20 years of the proposed franchise. Tho gas company believes that its success de pends upon efficiency and progressive methods that the cheaper it can produce, deliver and sell a high quality of service, tho more stable, satisfactory and prosperous will be its business. No progressive public utilty concern expects large profits. Tho most it can hope for is a moderate rato of return, considerably less than would be regarded as satisfactory in ordinary manufacturing, merchan dising or commercial enterprises. When tho first gas rate contract with the city ends, tho question of what is a fair rate for gas in Omaha must come up again and the company com pelled to justify by figures and facts whatever rate it then belioves compensatory. If every citizen went into -such an investigation thoroughly, it would take weeks and perhaps months of his time. It is impossible for him to do so, and in matters of this kind he is compelled to let tho men ho has elected to office look after his interests, pro. tecting himself by tho power of veto through tho ref erendum and tho power of recall over the city officials. The proposed gas rate-reduction ordinance will give the city power to regulate gas rates for the first time in the history of Omaha. If approved by tho people, it will settle pending controversies and permit us to devote our best ener gies to performing progressively our part of tho col. lective work necessary in this community. ... . w j, OMAHA GAS COMPANY i Storo Closes at 5 P.
