nances by the departments of educa-
ton and interior,

MAYOR FAvORS
CONFERENCE ON
GAS APPRAISAL
Would Urge Company Officials
to Waive Appeal From Price
Decision Of Court Con.
demnation.

Il am in favor of introducing a
resolution at an early meeting OF
the city council, stating that the
Omaha Gas Co. shall agree to waive
an appeal from the appraisal of the
court of condemnation, and also
shall agree to accept the city's bonds
at par in the event that the city
elects to buy the plant" said Mayor
Smith to City Commissioner Butler
after the city council meeting yes
terday.
Il would at least favor asking the
company's representatives into a
conference and let us talk it over
across the table" Mr.. Butler replied.
The mayor and Mr.. Butler do not
favor the city taking over the plant
under conditions OF uncertainty as
to whether the company will appeal
from the appraisal. If the company
declines to commit itself. then these
city officials favor building all inde-
pendent gas plant.
In a former interview. the mayor
asserted that he believed the apprai-
sal was too high, and Corporation
Counsel Lambert has stated that the
gas company has indicated they
would>pot accept the $4,'OO,OOO ap-
praised Valuation.
Mayor Smith has a number o.
figures which he claims will show
that the city could build its own gas
plant and pay for it in so years by
setting aside $4,000 per year, this
being his conservative estimate OF
the difference in administration eX-
pcnse between management by the
gas company and the city. He also
figures that the city could sell gas
at lower rate than Sll5 per thous-
and feet
All of the city commissioners are
busy with gas plant statistics, Mr..
Butler figured that gas consumers
already have paid for the plant. He
also figured that the last increase III
the gas rate yielded additional
revenue of $l50,O00 to the company
last year.
w. Fl. Herdman. attorney for the
company, stated that his clients are
not ready to make any statement as
to their prospective action in con-
nection with the appraisal. Mr..
Herdman believes it is the city's frs

Not more than 200 men classed

said. "Thcse men are principally
cinder pit men and track laborers
or the unskilled class, and receive
about 40 cents an hour.
I'VE do not anticipate that they
will strike. but if they should the
Union Pacific shops here would be
scarcely affected, unless more
skilled labor should strike in SYM

the action of President Barker in
calling a strike.
I'VE understood that negotiation
between rail employees and the rail
