Asks to Be Shown on "Bonds."
Omaha, July 26.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: There has from time to
time appeared in the press articles
evidently inspired by Mr.. d. E. Pat
terson of this city, which has as a
purpose a propaganda calculated to
engage our citizens in exploiting So
called water powers.
wonder if Mr.. Patterson has
made a comparison of the cost of
power in this and other cities and
whether he knows it to be a fact
that Omaha is suffering because of
excessive power cost. 1t would seem
to me that with taxes amounting to
sums never thought possible. So, 163,-
570.77, the city taxes in 1917, and
$3,994.956.27, the city taxes in 1918.
which in the aggregate is approx
mately 500 for each household, it
would seem, I say, that the stag
gering cost of government at this
time should cause the people to
hesitate before embarking upon a
period of bond issues for enter
priseS which at best are very ques-
tionable.
If the power rates in Omaha are
so exorbitantly high as to prevent
the development Of enterprises al
ready here or the location here of
enterprises which for one reason or
another desire to come, then it might
be well to inquire into ways and
means to secure lower power rate,
but to secure the lower power rate,
it is unnecessary to engage in eX-
plotting water powers whose mean
value we know nothing about. If
Mr.. Patterson's scheme should be
adopted it means two distributors of
electrical power instead of one and
it is patent to the most casual OBJ
server that lower cost in the dis
tribution of electrical energy cannot
be brought about by adding to the
cost Of distribution, that is with
duplicate organizations.
l am for everything that tends to
building up Omaha, and its inter-
ests. but in this particular instance
l, and I believe thousands of other
citizens of Omaha are like the man
from Missouri, I'VE must be shown

proved what he said by pulling a
