Every UP-AND-COMING CITY MUST HAVE ALL MAJOR UTILITIES

Coral Gables has outgrown the era when one or two utility services could adequately care for its increasing needs. Yet, Coral Gables has no Gas Utility . . . while national statistics show that 3 out of 4 housewives throughout the United States PREFER GAS for cooking. And GAS is equally as desirable, dependable and economical for refrigeration and water heating. For room heating, nothing even approaches the efficiency of GAS! So, we believe Coral Gables deserves GAS SERVICE. Benefits to residents, commercial establishments, new tax revenues for the municipality . . . are some of the reasons why you, as a proud property owner in this thriving city SHOULD want Coral Gables to have this essential service. NOTE: As soon as the City Commission approves the ordinance now before them, the freeholders of Coral Gables will be asked to vote on this important issue. In the meantime, study the pros and cons of GAS for Coral Gables. Then you're sure to vote "Yes!"
