Company is forced into public own

the last legislature. This is a fic-
titious issue. We know that you
gentlemen constitute the only auth
GRITTY who could make any such
deal, and you did not make any
such deal.
IF an effort is being organized
now to force our Company and O.
maha's electric service into public
ownership, we think some people
are breaking faith with us.
Certainly no issue Of this mag
nitude Should be decided without a
vote OF the people,"
Thn action came at the close Of

Jacobs denied that there had
been IN misunderstanding about

There was never any question in
the minds of anyone, Jacobs said,
that LIB 204 was anything but a
