'77--'7"'r7-7777777,7;177.7.'".
Detroit Gas Users Committee, of
which Richard Jones is chairman,
the voters are urged to oppose
the proposal on the ballot on
April 7 for municipal ownership
of the Gas Co. The statement
reads:
"We are being bombarded by
masses of material regarding the
operation of a gas plant, most of
which we know nothing about.
"Our personal interest in the
gas business—and that goes for
most ordinary citizens—is confined
to the bill we get every month.
"The gas company tells us it is
a fair, reasonable bill, lower than
that of most cities of comparable
population. The monthly average
for the domestic consumer in 1940
was $2.34, and with a further
reduction now in effect, the aver-
age for this year is likely to
drop to about $2.17.
"'Advocates of the municipal
ownership proposals to be voted
on April 7 don't dispute these fig-
ures. They do conic forth with
a lot of rates charged in cities
where the gas system is munici-
pally owned.
"Omaha is conspicuous among
them. Yet, the gas company tells
us something that the backers
of these proposals did not empha-
size, namely that the city-owned
utility in Omaha pays no taxes
whatsoever. If the local company
could be relieved of its tax,
amounting to $2,915,000 in 1910,
it says it could reduce the rates
in Detroit by 27 per cent.
"These are details which should
have been clearly set forth.
"The fact that they have been
minimized, or kept entirely under
cover will make ninny voters sus-
pect they are not being given a
fair chance fully to inform them-
selves on this most important is-
sue. It only strengthens our con-
vicition that it will be wise, when
you vote on these proposals on
April 7, to go slow, watch your
step, and—
"Look before you leap."
