SOME OTHER GOOD FEATURES
GEORGE A. MOLLRING
Geo. A. Mollring Is one of the
western merchants who have forgeel
0 the front by dint of enterprise
anil intelligent application to busi
ness. In 1901 he came to Alliance
from Newcastle, Wyo., where he had
bt.n engaged in mercantile business
and was one of the leading citizens,
resigning the office of mayor in or
der to come to this city. He pur
chased the dry goods siore of his
brother, Fred Mollring, at .:io Box
Jiuitc avenue. It was not long be
fore the need of more . room was
badly felt. When the new Kumer
blcck WC bulll Ifl 1 !'. he availed
himself i the opportunity of secur
ing latter quarters by leasing the
large room, by 140 feet, with an
fli" 25 by 50 feat. In S :tembrr
of that year he moved into the new
location. Although having more
room than in the former place,
there was none too much. Since
then it has been found nc ssary to
further increase the room of the
store by constructing a balcony. One
of the largest and finest stocks cf
dry goods, ladies' and children
shoes, and ladies' ready-to-wear gar
uientB fills the large and well ar
ranged store of Geo. A. Mollring.
He is ably assisted in the man
age men t of his business by his
brothei . W. A. Mollring. who has
had an extensive experience in some
of the leading retail dry goods es
tablishments of Chicago. As an ex
pert window trimmer he has done
much to attract the attention of
passers by to this attractive place of
business. An exceptionally strong
force of sales people do their full
hr in drawing and holding trade
for the house.

State Senator Win. H. Smith, ed
itor of the Seward Independent-Democrat,
sends The Herald the follow
ing information regarding Senate File
No. 4:1, which we are pleased to
publish and call the attention of our
readers to it:
Senate File No. 4;i, now pending
before the legislature, Is a bill pro
viding for uniform plans and Hpeclfl
catlons for all bridges to be built by
the various counties of the state,
and is being so strongly opposed by
tha interests that would be directly
affected that It Is desired to apprise
the public of its main provisions.
these being as follows:
First The bill provides for uniform!
plans and specifications, these to be
prepared by the state engineer. The
plans for a thirty root bridge to bo
built in tinge- county need be no dif
ferent than those prepared for a
bridge of the same slse in Koyd
county, since there Is a state law
defining the carrying capacity of all
bridges. But under the system in
vogue at. present in many counties
the plans of some certain bridge
company are adopted, and by adopt
ing these plans the company In ques
tion is thus given a decided advant
age over nil competitors In the mat
ter of bidding. By adopting uniform
plans prepared by a disinterested
party one bidder would stand an
equal show witli another.
Sordini I'liiform bidding blanks.
Under the provisions of this bill it
would be necessary for all bids to
be Hied on uniform blanks, so that j
It could be determined at a glance
which bid was the lowest.
Third- -The county boards would be
required to transmit to the state en
gineer statements showing the cost
of all bridges built in the county
dining the preceding year. If John
son county should build a thirty toot '
bridge in I9t:i, and Hitchcock county i j
desired to build one of the same
size in lil4, the county board in the
latter county could obtain from the
state engineer definite information
as to the cost of a bridge of that
tea, b timply writing to the state
engineer, and it could thus be deter- :
mined whether or not the bids fori
the new structure in the latter coun-'
ty were too high.
Fourth The 'bill provides that the
stale engineer shall. If called upon
by the county board so to do, check
the work when completed.
A duplicate set of plans for nil the
bi (?TM the average N hraska coun
ty might need, would not cost to ex-!
ceed 5:0.00.
it is a i parent why the bridge com
panies which have succeeded In hav-
ing their own plans adopted in var
loan counties should object to this'
bill. It is also apparent why they
should object to bidding on uniform
blanks, as well as to that prvoision
of the bill which requires the cost
j cf all bridges to he reported to the
slate engineer where it yould be ac
cessible to all other counties which
might desire lo build similar bridges
I in the future. It is appanut, I say,
why the bridge companies should oh
je: t to these features and remain
on the ground to oppose their enact
ment into law. But I am at a loss
to understand wh some other pari
Isa should come to Lincoln from dis
tant sections of the state come at
their own expense, I presume, and
