The Riot
-September 29, 1919
j It ;was a. beautiful Sunday
afternoon. Men and women pa- '
raded along the downtown thor- '
oughfares- in their "Sunday's :;
' best." .
Wnile the paraders wended 4
i their way along Farnam street, ;
a prisoner peered through the :
bars of a window in the county -
jail. He was charged with a sef- '.
ious crime. r . T
. i ' . i
During the morning, rumors
were afloat that a "lynching ;
party" was being organized. -;
About mid-af temoon a crowd of
boys gathered around the court
house and demanded the pris
oner.. They were repelled by the r
police. The crowd grew larger -and
the police were helpless. .,
The result: An attempt was" ;,
made to hang the mayor; several
were shot; the courthouse was,"
nart.ifl.llv rlpstroved: the nrisoner
l' " " .7 ' -j.il
was lynched. .,' (
This, all happened because
only a verv few of our, large
population refused to pay heed
to law, ordr and justice.
We must always let order and
. justice prevail. We must all play
fair. . ' ;

,When the courthouse was To repair the damage
built it cost $1,000,000. done will cost $500,000
THE REPAIRS ALONE AMOUNT TO HALF OF THE
ORIGINAL COST OF ERECTING THE STRUCTURE
WHY?
H Freight on materials used in the repairing of the building increased about
100 per cent from 1915 to 1920. If The mason who is re-laying the stone is re-1
ceiving much more money in wages than he received in 1915. 1JThe cost of
lumber, stone and mechanics' tools more than doubled since the courthouse
was built. v r. k ; .
Our Costs Increased Likewise
, . : , , Because of the general increase in our manu
;f factoring costs, we have had to spend $1.36 for
) every one dollar our income has increased. ( '
During September, October, and November,
. our operating expenses alone, NOT including in
vestment charges, replacements and renewals, in
. creased more than our income. During these
months, our income increased $128,537 and our
operating expenses increased $174,485.
To obtain money to repair the courthouse, the
county had to use borrowed money. ' ' '?
It cost them much more to borrow this money
than it did when the courthouse was first built. It
costs us much more to borrow money now than it,
did in 1915. All of this goes to make for increased
costs of operation, . "
Our costs increased for the same reasons that
the costs of the county increased.
All of this Plus Depreciation
, The Increase We Ask '
Which Includes
The cost of replacing worn-out machinery.
The cost of replacing obsolete equipment.
v Horses and buggies for instance, for our repairmen
have been replaced by automobile roadsters.
A turbine of 2,000 horsepower which turns a gen
erator to manufacture electricity, now stands practically
idle in pur plant and a turbine of 27,000 horsepower has
been installed. This old turbine and others will soon
have to be discarded.
i , s New boilers were recently installed. One, of 1,500
horsepower, is the largest west of the Mississippi river:
Old boilers" which. cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
and for which this one will be substituted, will soon have
to be junked.
Poles rot and have to be replaced.' Transformers and
meters wear out or become obsolete and have to be re
placed. ; ' .
. ALL OF THIS IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR PROP
ERTY IN THE FIRST-CLASS, SERVICEABLE CONDI
TION NECESSARY TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS
FOR ELECTRICAL CONVENIENCES IN YOUR
HOME AND FOR OMAHA'S INDUSTRIAL DE
VELOPMENT. ,
is that needed to meet increased manufacturing costs, the in-
creased cost of borrowing money, and the expense of replac
ing woWout equipment as becomes necessary. ",:
We ask no more of an increase than the increase In ex
penses we have met, and is now confronting you, your friends
. and business institutions. Figure out how many things you
touch during the day which have not incrased in price since
1915." . '
, Over night, at the time of the riot, the county suffered a
loss of $500,000; in other words, had to increase its invest
ment one-half in the courthouse building and the court
house when repaired, will be no more useful and probably
less beautiful than it was before the riot.,
-.- Time after time, we have had to increase our investment
to continue to serve you and yours in the best possible way
and to keep pace with the increased demand for our service.
At various times we have had to meet problems under
even less favorable conditions than the county met at the time
of the riot For instance, the Omaha tornado of 1913 caused
us to suffer the loss of thousands of dollars.
,WE ASK ONLY A FAIR WAGE ON THE MONEY
REPRESENTED BY THE VALUE OF OUR PLANT; A
SUFFICIENT INCOME TO MAKE REPLACEMENTS AND
RENEWALS WHEN NECESSARY; AND THE COST' OF
MANUFACTURING THE SERVICE WE DELIVER INTO
YOUR HOME AND BUSINESS. , .'. ;
The cost of borrowing money has) increased.
The cost of making replacements and renewals has in
creased. . . ';''. ' ' '
The cost of coal, labor and taxes has increased.
WE ONLY ASK THAT WE BE PERMITTED 'TO
INCREASE OUR RATES SO THAT WE CAN MEET THE
INCREASES WE HAVE SUFFERED.
The gas company had to meet the same problems we now face they took their
own increases in rates. We ask for an increase much less than they received.
