GAS COMPANY READY TO BUILD
VIII spend Seventy Thousand Dollars
on New Gas Holder
Very Soon.

An ordinance was passed by the city
council Tuesday night which repealed the
Evans ordinance passed some time ago
preventing the gas company from con-
structing a gas holder in any section of
the city II any property owner living
within 1000 feet objected This has stood
in the way of the gas company erecting a
holder at Twenty-second and Burdette
streets for so long the company has given
up the idea and desires TO sell this prop
erty
AS soon as the ordinance is signed by
the mayor the company will begin at once
TO more than double its plant at Twentieth
and Center streets. In speaking of the
matter Secretary Clabaugh said
eve have needed a larger plant for
some time and this ordinance has kept US
back. At present We carry only gas
enough to supply this city for about seven
hours. You see the city has been liable
to have been in darkness for some time II
some of the machinery should go wrong
All other cities of the size OF Omaha have
several holders scattered around to help
eQualize the pressure and this is more
needed in a hilly community like Omaha.
We will spend in the neighborhood of So
900 at once on the new plsnt. The people
need not be alarmed however, for this
city has been dark but once in thirty
years"

PIPE LINE FOR KANSAS OIL
Proposition Discussed by Real Estate
Exchange and Committee APP
pointed on IL.

VIII Il be practicable to pipe oil from
the Kansas fields to Omaha and. u 80. can
capital he Interested to build a pipe line
These are questions OF interest before the
Real Estate exchange.
A committee consisting Of A. L. Reed.
Il. A. Benson and w. l. Selby was APP
pointed by President Green at the meet
ing wednesday to secure all the informa-
ton which can be obtained on the subject
and report to the exchange. They will
interview the packers Of South Omaha and
the manufacturers Of Omaha as to what
they think OF the expediency Of the project
1t Is thought by members Of the exchange
power can be secured for Omaha more
cheaply from Kansas oil than from coal
E. A. Cudahy was quoted as saying he
had made experiments with oil and found
II Il could be laid down at Omaha without
much expense. power could be furnished
from It much more cheapy than from
coal 1t is understood other packers and
manufacturers have been studying the
subject.
The purpose of the exchange is to in
vestigate the matter and give to the public
the information secured II. in the judg-
ment Of the majority. pipe line to Omaha
would prove profitable. it is then time to
undertake to interest capital in the project.
G. f. Harrison read before the exchange
paper on Advertising" lie told of the
methods Of real estate men in Los Angeles.
and suggested the adoption in Omaha of
some of the features used there. For i'm
| mediate action he made some practical sug-
| gestious for local advertising, that Is. in

! f. A. Benson. w. @. Shrlver and d. G.
Rogers were appointed a committee on inn
! mediate plans and President Green will
J appoint permanent advertising committee

Complaint was made that the Omaha
Water company frequently imposes on
owners of property, in that it turns on
water at the request of tenants and fails ia
| collect from them. charging the bill to
the owner. Instances were cited in which
| the company had failed to make applica-
ton to the tenant for payment as late as
seventy-one days after rent was due. II
was suggested that some owner ought tc
refuse to pay such bills and stand a suit
Harry Payne, C. f. Harrison and T. +
Creigh were made committee to make
suggestions in this matter.
