voted on the question Of intro
ducing natural gas and have twice
defeated it by overwhelming ma
jorities.
But AZ per cent Of the gas sup
piled to Omaha householders is
natural gas. piped in through the
same lines that supply adjacent
communities. 1t was introduced
because otherwise large additions
to the gas production plant would
have been necessary.
EXCUSE TO CONSUMERS
Introduction of the natural gas
was excused to the consumers with
the argument that it "enriches"
the manufactured gas. And one of
the reductions in consumer cost
was an increase in thermal units
Of the gas supply without increase
OF price. The utilities board Is
authorized to make further in
crease of thermal units when II
estimates such an increase can be
afforded.
Although Omaha's gas produc-
ton plant is in excellent shape
and adequate-with the natural
gas mixture-to supply all de-
mand. the distribution system is
not In equal condition.
REPLACEMENT HIGH
In the past Is years the original
366 miles of mains taken over
when the company was bought out
has been expanded to 500 miles.
But some OF the mains are go
years old. There have been a
number of leaks, some resulting in
law suits against the utilities
board.
