AERIAL SERVICE
IS PUT SQUARELY
UP TO The CITY
Omaha Must Decide When
System Shall Be Extended
West From Chicago, Of
ficiaI Says.

ut is up to Omaha to decide
when the air mail service shall be
extended west from Chicago" said
Col. John A. Jordan, special repre-
sentative of the postoffice depart
ment air mail service and superin-
tendent of the western division.
The plan for constructing expo
sition buildings on the present land
ing field on the Ak Sar-Ben grounds
on West Center street is delaying
the government in extending the
mail service. Original plans called
for the use of these grounds for a
landing field.
Colonel Jordan, accompanied by
Harley Conant, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce air transport
tation committee; J. E. George. w.
A. Ellis and Postmaster Tanning
inspected all available fields in the
vicininity of Omaha Tuesday, but
reached no definite conclusion
which field to use.
Field Found Suitable.
A field on West Dodge street
near the peony farm was found suit
able, and if long time lease can
be secured will probably be Sc
lected. The Redick field in East
Omaha also was found suitable. al
though considered little small for
a city that will be used as a
terminal point.
Fort Omaha landing fields were
found too small to be used in mail
service, The Happy Hollow. Field
and Country clubs grounds were
inspected for use as temporary land
ing fields in case permanent field
was not ready for use when the
service starts.
Colonel Jordan says Omaha will
have to start at once to prepare for
the coming of aerial transportation
If it expects to take advantage of
the opportunities offered. The mail
service requires that the city secure
the landing field and construct hang
ars. 1t will be impossible to COM
plete the necessary arrangements
this year, but if Omaha completes
its share this winter the government
is ready to start daily air mail
service early next spring, Colonel
Jordan says.
Three Engine Planes.
Three engine planes with wing
spread of los feet will be used in
the Omaha service. They will have
a carrying capacity of from l,500 to
5000 pounds of mail.
Hangers to house these planes
will have doors no feet wide and
be 10 feet high. The necessary
equipment for the machine shops
will be installed by the government.
When the service is started Oma-
ha will have l2-hour mail service
from the Atlantic coast. Colonel
Jordan says the practicability of
daily service has been proven on
the Cleveland Chicago route. Storms
that tied up mail boats on the Great
Lakes and delayed trains three and

Ha! Ha! Say Profiteers.
"The statement that prices in
Omaha are higher than in other
cities is absolutely true" said the
county attorney. II wish the mayor
would obtain schedules of prices
from Minneapolis and Sioux City
and then compare them with Oma-
ha. I don't believe that the producers
and wholesalers are as much to
blame as the retailers would have
us believe. This investigation is
putting the fear of God into the
hearts of the profiteers, who will
realize that the people mean bust
ness. This investigation will have
the effect of reducing the prices
of some commodities and of pre-
venting contemplated advances"

reduced on account of the investi-

The Department of Justice at

Peterson, in the local offices of the
Department of Justice, attended the
hearing which was started last
Monday in the city council cham
Der. He is also conducting investi-
cations through his Office, and he
has all of the government machin-
cry at his disposal.
"My idea is that prices will go
down gradually. These investiga-
tons will have their effect. We are
going at this matter to get the abb
solute facts. The Department Of
Justice is working deliberately and
quietly. We are searching for food
boarding and are after it every
minute. There will be immediate
action if we can locate any hoard
ing. We will not only prosecute the
offenders, but we will seize the
stocks. 1t is a tremendous job and
we are not at this time giving out
