WHAT NATURAL GAS
WILL MEAN TO OMAHA

Natural gas will bring about an
immediate saving of more than $500,
600 year to gas users of Omaha, if
the people vote to accept the natural
gas proposal, according to Mr.. w. J..
Coad, Chairman of the Metropolitan
Utilities District.
"This saving" Mr. Coad said, twill
extend to every user of gas in the
city except those who pay the mini
mum bill, of whom there are a com
paratively small number
"This will be the minimum saving,
and practically all of it applies to the
use of gas for cooking. The saving
will be much larger when people be-
gin to use gas for house heating.
"The saving on each bill, except the
minimum bills, will be approximately
30 per cent as soon as natural gas is
installed. While only half as much
natural gas will be needed to do the
work of manufactured gas, we are
being liberal by estimating that the
saving will be only 80 per cent. In
many cases the saving will be so per
cent"
Chairman Coad said that natural
gas will also bring about more en-
ployment in Omaha by enabling the
Omaha industries to develop and
spread out, because natural gas will
furnish them with cheaper fuel than
they now use.
Mr. Coad said also that the people
The monitor., 1928-08-17

of Omaha will be assured of an I'M
interrupted gas flow because the
source of supply from the Panhandle
section of Texas has adequate gas
pools, and the pipe line which will
bring the natural gas to Omaha will
be the largest ever constructed in the
United States. Every precaution of
engineering science has been taken to
insure a continuous flow of natural
gas.
The $1,500,000 gas bond issue
which will be necessary to construct
mains in Omaha if natural gas is
brought to the city, will not increase
taxes one penny, according to Mr..
Coad.
"A rumor has been spread that the
issue of the bonds will increase the
taxes" said Mr.. Coad. "Such
statement is erroneous. Both the
principal and interest on these bonds
will be paid from revenue obtained
by the sale OF the gas.
"The issuance of bonds by the
Utilities District has never increased
taxes. When we purchased the gas
plant we had S5,000,000 worth of
bonds outstanding. By July, 1880,
we will have paid off $1,500,0O0
worth of these bonds, even though we
have decreased the rates of gas and
water while paying off this indebted
ness. If the gas bonds are approved
by the voters, our bonded indebted
ness will be no greater than when we
bought the gas plant"
Mr.. Coad said that the Utilities
District has an excellent contract
with a natural gas company, and that
he feels it is a grand opportunity for
Omaha
"No city that has ever been Of
fered natural gas has turned it
down." Mr. Coad said. "The fact
that the natural gas people are will
ing to invest $3O,0OO,0O0 in a pipe
line to bring natural gas to Omaha,
is a good assurance that they feel
chat it will be tremendous success"
said Mr.. Coad.
The special election on the natural
gas bond issue will be held on Sep
TENDER rs. Everyone is urged to
vote.

We are hereby calling the public's atten-

There is a big effort being made by the
Committee to reach every organized group
of race people in and around Omaha, in
order that they may share in, or have a
chance to share in this affair. We are hop

there is no fixed date for this occasion, for
this was not slave state. So, we use a date
