Anything But
Economical
Cify Administration Most Ex
pensive in History df
Municipality.
Plattsmouth, Nub. July 7
1909.
Kditor Nkw8-Hkrali):
In a recent issua of the News-Hkr-AU
I notice your reference to the funds
expended for street work in the city of
Plattsmouth in the last 5 years, giving
the figures at $42,009.00, The amount
is stupendous, but the statement seems
to jar but few tax payers in the city.
If you had shown that the appropria
tions for the last 5 years aggregated a
little over $7,000.00, and also if you had
shown the appropriations for the pro
ceeding 5 years with the approximate
expenditures for street work for com
parison, it might percolate into thc
heads of some of our taxpayers that in
stead of the city administration being
an economical one, it was the most ex
pensive one ever experienced in the
history f the city of Plattsmouth. We
heard much talk about reduction of
taxes, but never a word about the
amounts illegally expended. The en
forcement of the scavenger law brought
a huge fund into the city treasury but
it appears to have been a source of
worry to the administration until it
was dissipated. If it were not for the
funds received on back taxes, our city
would have been two or three times
what they were in the 5 years last past
or instead there would now be a deficit
in the treasury of some $19,000.00, in
stead of about $o,000 as is reported.
Yours Respectfully,
ECONOMY.

Conrad Schlatcr Says Little City
Is a Model of Cleanliness.
Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Schlatcr re-.
turned Wednesday from their recent
visit with relatives and friends at Lin
coln, Omaha and othir points.
They report having a delightful time
hut were both very (glad to get back
again, as there is no place like home
for the ordinary comforts of life.
While at Havelock they visited with
their daughter, Mrs. Jos. Tighc, and as
this was their first visit there in two
or more years the splendid improve
ment in that busy little city were vcy
noticable, and what pleated Air.
Schlater most was tho excellent Bar
dens maintained by thc industrious
citizens in their back yards.
The front yards were not neglected,
as all the residents kept the lawns
smooth, and walks and fences in first
class condition, no weeds being seea
anywhere.
At Omaha Mr. and Mrs. Schlatcr
visited at the home of Dr. KlausnclL
one of that city's prominent dentists
and a relative of Conrad's, and they
were taken for an auto ride each even
ing to difFerent parts of the city. Mrs.
Schlatcr enjoyed the rides much to the
amusement of hr husband to whom
she had declared she would never ride
in one, but after the first ride she
could not get enough of it and looked for
ward to each U-ip with much eagerness.
Mr. Schlatcr desciibd the brilliant
electric display as being very beautiful
and striking as the front of nearly every
business block was covered with elec
tric designs making a continuous flash
for great distances. One design which
was strikingly unique was an outline of
the old lady with the wooden shoes
and club which advertises the "Dutch.
Cleanser."
Mr. Schlatcr states that Dr. Klaus

rived in Omaha several years ago is at
present well to do, having a splendid
