ESTIMATE VALUE
OF CITY GASPLANT
AT $3,35l,743.56
AS Company Asks Much
Higher Price, Long Legal
Fight is Foreseen.

The total value of the Omaha Gas
Co.'S property is $3,35l,745.56, &C
cording to testimony given yester-
day before the court of condemna-
ton, sitting in the court house. The
testimony was given by Burns &
Mcdonnell of Kansas City, experts
on validating plants of this kind.
The court was appointed to deter
mine the price to be paid for the
gas plant which the people voted to
buy at the election of May ], 1918.
The gas company, it is believed,
will submit that the plant is worth
about $l0,000,0O0 plus another
81 100000 for going concern value"
The court of condemnation, COM
posed of ex-United States Senator
Allen of Madison, Neb.; Judge Good
of Wahoo and Judge Day of Omaha.
met today after an adjournment
since, August 4. Corporation Coun-
sci Lambert conducted the case for
the city and w. H. Herdn,an and
Judge McHugh were attorneys for
the gas company
Theories Are Different
The difference in the figures re-
garding the value of the plant is due
to different theories of estimating.
The gas company holds that the
city must pay the "top-notch" price,
namely, what it would cost to build
a duplicate of the gas company's
plant at present high prices of labor
and materials.
The city's experts estimated the
value on the normal theory" They
first took an invoice of all the plant.
They then took each item. such as
four-inch pipe, six-inch pipe, etc,
and found the cost of each item in
each year from 1907 to 1916, inclu-
ives. They took the average of
these 10 years and made that the
cost for each item. Then they sub
tracted from this cost a small sum
for depreciation on each item, de-
pending on the number of years it
has been in use.
This is the method, the experts
testified, which has been followed in
arriving at the value of other gas
plants which have been bought by
municipalities.
