OMAHA GAS BUY
Howell Presents Resolution
, Providing for Working Capi-
taKSays Mayor, "Don't
Rush Me.", ,
The people of Omaha will be
asked to rote another $1,000,000 in
addition to the $4,500,000 to be paid
for the Omaha Gas Co. plant to im
prove it and provide working capi
tal if a resolution passed by the
Metropolitan Water board at a
meeting yesterday asking the city
council to submit this $l,O0O,00p
propdSTtion to the voters at the
coming election is complied with.
" Mayor Smith, when R. B. How
ell presented the resolution to him,
refused to be "stampeded" in the
matter.' Furthermore, he said, there
is not time before the- election of
April 20 to" observe the necessary
legal formalities ' to submit the
$1,000,000 bond proposition.
Mr. Howell declared that "it is
absurd to dump Jhe gas plant on
the Metropolitan Water board for
management- withtfut , providing
funds to operate it.
"During the first 18 months of
municipal operation of the water
plant $507,000 was expended for im
provements. :., We , figure that it
would be necessary to sell at, first
only half of the. proposed $1,000,000
bond. Three hundred thousand dol
lars of this money to be used to pay
for the assets which were referred
to in a recent letter from the presi
dent of the Omaha Gas Co. to the
city council and $300,000 for work
ing capital." :
