'J ( " Howell Seeks to Mislead Public General Manajer of the Ne- braska Power Company -"'' Replies to Attack of Gas. Plant Head. t V To xriA artn ccner&l manager ' of the Nebraska Power Company, Saturday made the foUowing state- ment-in connection with an inter view given by R. B. HowelT. printed s .v in hirKa Mr. 1 eommented on the ver- iisemenU of the Povrer Company for fair play in its appeal for in creased rates, now before the city commission. . . . . . : "Mr. Howell, when he said that iince 1915 and .up to . January . 1920, the total amount of capital t put into onr plant amnn. i 52336,000, deKberately souyht to rreate a false impression. ine fact is the additional capital ra yesled from,U15 up to -the pres ent time haa been over $...000,000 and Mr. HoweU knew this when he spoke as he did. There is n chance for argument, for our fcworn statements are before the ty commission. "Mr. Howell is well aware, also, f the decisions of the Supreme JOourt of this state and the United States Supreme Court to the effect that it is the value of the property ha which the return must be fixed or rate-making purposes and not on capitalization. ... ; "Still he insists on befogging the issues by bringing in the oM itrument about watered stock and Tiigh capiUliaatiorK This is Tthe time-wont argument of the agi tator who plays on the feelings of "the public for influence , and per ianal gain. The puic now rea- t am sure they won't swallow the t stuff from Mr. Howeu-wnkfrTO eases he' has made in the cost oi :as. Some say he it doing n "he can show the people what de "vcreases he can make rout the Itime he seek political office. I- "Here" are the facta and our iooks are-open to the pTibhc for verification- ' . ,. "The cost of coal at the, mines, ;o doubt -will be reduced, some what, but the public has been ad vised that the cost of thereight on ji car of coal alone cow is more than tbe cost of the coal and "During that time,-fuel cost iH 92 a ton. uur average Jeost during 1D20 was $6.23, or an increase of $3.31 a ton. It is true "that our income did Increase dur ing 1920, but our costs T??? ;S816,000, as follows: , Fuel, $51V !000; labor, $200,000? taxes, $99, ;000. . . j.j i "Since 1915 vre nave wiiiuucu : $5,455,1071 for additions and betterments to our system, made Necessary to meet the dejnanis ot 1 crowing Omaha. "Here is an interesting compan ion: Since 1912, when the water .works was taken over by the water board, the rates have been reduced -524 per cent, while' the electric "light rates were reduced 57.2 per cent Ur. Howell in his article m Iphasizes reduction in the water rates, but does not speak of the jtes; nor does ne reier . W&t increase in gas rates, itie gas rates were increased in me five following ways: -. v 1 The service charge o from J ". $6 to $75 per year was added." .. 2. Increase in rate per cubic feet from $1.13 to $1.25 per thousand. 3. deduction of heat units, pro ducing a poorer quality of gas, necessitating larger cas consumption by the housewife 4. In 1918 the gas company, when privately owned, paid $ 177.600 in taxes. Under muncipial ownership no taxes are naid. ' SomeonR must py these taxes,' to they are passed 6n largely to the workin peoole, who pay them when they pay their grocer, butcher, landlord, etc. . , 3. The public is required to pay for their main and service extensions, which under pri vate ownership are paid for by the companies. - "Contrary to Mr. Howell's state- v Harries, sresident III en-, - . of the company formerly owning the light plant, did not accept the Chamber of Commerce study. An investigation by a disinterested ac counting firm showed that there were many omissions, which ren dered the study incorrect.
