IMPROVEMENT-OF
PARK BEING URGED
Residents of City Strong: For Making
a Real Recieation Ground of
Washington Park Avenue !
From Thursday's rallv.
The proposition of improving the
park that the city purchased sever
al years ago on Washington Avenue,
seems to he growing in favor and
the citizens in general as well as
the business men of the community
are strong in urging that the park
he made a reality in the near fut
ure. The tennis followers in this city
have established a sourt at the park
and this feature is one that should
he left undisturbed no matter what
action may he taken in making
changes in the park.
The installing of seats as well as
making walks through the park and
a general cleanup of the ground:;
has heen urged for immediate action
and Mie of the real live boosters for
the proposition has ottered the sug
gestion that there he a day designa
ted when every business man or
anyone else in the community who
is a helitver in civic improvement
turn out and devote a few hours to
laboring in cleaning up the park and
aid the cty that much in making it
an ideal recreation spot.
It will not require a great deal
of lahor or expense to place the park
in such shape that it can he used by
the citizens cf i he community ami
certainly it would he a big advan
tage to the community. The growth
of sentiment in its favor has point
ed to the fact that there will bo no
let. up until the new park is made
a reality.
One suggestion that has been made
that is certainly worth while is that
when the park is fixed up as it
should that it be named ineommem
eration of the first Plattsmouth man
ro pay vi:h his life in the world

CONTRACT LET LAST NSGHT
BY CITY COUNCIL FOR FOUf
TEEN BLOCKS OF P
CONCRETE DECIDED UPON AFTER LENGTHY DIS
CUSSION COLEMAN'S EID OF $35,414.13
THE LOWEST SUBMITTED.
: From Friday's Daily.
I The session of the city council held
! last night for the purpose of pass-
ing on the paving in the new dis
trict just created, was one that was
full of pep and plenty of argument,
pro and con on the question of
whether the niW district should be
paved with concrete or brick or the
paving laid over for some time.
which was apparently the sentiment
of a number of the resident in the
district.
A petition was presented signed
by a large number of the residents
in the district in which they asked
thai the paving be done with brick
block as has been the custom in the
paving heretofore carried out and
on motion the petition was received
and placed on tile.
His Honor, Mayor Johnson then
began to attempt to find the senti
ment of the residents of the district
by calling on ihose who were present
in the council chamber to express
themselves ami the advocates of
brick paving at once took their in
ning. L. C. Sharp, who has been
one of the boosters of paving in the
city for a long time, stated that he
favored brick rather than concrete
as lie thoutrht that it would prove in
the long run to be the cheapest.
Attorney William A. Robertson
stated that lie favored brick paving
because of the fact that he had ob
served concrete paving at Sioux Cit,
Fremont and Hoihany and in these
cases was not favorablv impressed
by the wearing qualities of the work
which had become cracked and chip
ped by trav.d. Mr. Robertson br.d a
number of pictures of scenes taken
along the concrete paved streets and
roads, which showed cracked up
paving, but these pictures were
later discounted by the advocates of
the concrete when they came to bat.
E. J. Ilichey. who stated that he
was the owner

tie difference

should be used
nianent job and
one that would last
the city in years Jo come. He be
lieved in quality of work and the
final test of wear rather than the
first cost of the work in making the
select ion.
The concrete side of the proposi
tion was given warm advocacy by
former Mayor 11. A. Schneider, who
stated that it was a comparatively
eay matter to secure petitions for
anything that was desired and that
the petition in regard to the bricl:
paving did not represent the united
sentiment of the taxpayers, as many
on the petition were not desirious of
any paving this year and. sought to
have the matter delayed by asking
for the brick, which would necessi
tate a delay of some time. Mr. Sch
neider stated that he had seen lots
of concrete paving and it was not as
bad as had heen represented by the
brick advocates and in fact in Cali
fornia and a number of places where
he had been it was first class in ev
ery way. He favored paving at once
in the district and paving with con
crete. The work that Mr. Coleman
had done in the
curb and gutter
very satisfactory.
past year in the
district had been
and as he was the
Schneider thought
lowest bidder Mr.
he should receive
the contract.
W. F. C.illespie
stated that as a
resident of the district he favored
paving and that at once as he had
been waiting a year to get his walks
put in, trusting that he might have
the proper grade supplied when the
paving was put in. He had signed
the petition in favor of the brick
paving but would favor concrete or
anything else to get the work done.
He cited the concrete paving in
Hastings as an example of the kind
of work that had come under his ob
servation in concrete work.
Mayor Johnson added to the rap
idly growing heat of the argument
with the challenge that the brick
paving petition was gotten up purely
to delay the paving over another
year.
Mr. Richey then arose and at
tempted to calm the troubled waters
by stating that he had been one of
the persons to pet up the petition
and had had no desire to push any
thing through over the heads of any
one and that each signer had had
explained to him the cost of the pav
ing to his property and the difference
between the two pavings. He also
stated that the paving at Hastings j
to which Mr. Gillespie had
was asphaltic concrete and
from the usual common
referred,
different
concrete
paving. He reiterated
that he had no desire
his statement
to push any
thing through, but he did think the
DECLARES MORE CRIME
SINCE PROHIBITION
Lincoln, Neb., July 14. Answer
ing a questionnaire sent out by the
leaders of the anti-saloon league,
i
council should re-advertise for bids
for the brick paving, in which case
they would, still have" ample time to
get Ihe work carried out by this com-!
ing fa'l. He favored getting the
best while the city war? carrying out j
its paving program.
The members of the council were
then called upon for their opinions'
and it was clear to see that the con-!
crete advocates were predominating'
in ttie legislative oouy as ii:e ninor
ent. members arose to express them
selves. Councilman Bestor cited the
fact that the federal government had
used much more concrete in federal
highways than they had brick in the
past year anil said he felt that the
concrete paving was all right.
Councilman Knorr was brief in
his statement that he had always
thought concrete a good paving ma
terial until shown the pictures of the
roads presented by the brick advo
cates, but he still fill sure it would
work all rignt and favored the
cret e.
Councilman Schttlhof slated
he always was an advocate of
brick paving and had voted that
con-
thai
the
way
when a member of the council in
the past and the result of the pav
ing had spoken for .itself and es
pecially on Vine street which had
iieen paved while he r-vas a member
of the council. He '"thought, how
ever, the tax' payers i:i the
should have (he say so and
preferred concrete to brick
district
if they
give it
to them.
Councilman PRtcek stated tiial if
the prices were anyways near equal
he would favor brick as -the paving
material, but as the cost represented
the difference of $1,0m0 a block he
tVionfhl 11e concrete -vivirr the best
n,i?n hi.-. .... ir,'. rer;,rd to the
petition Mr. Ptacek stated that some
of the signers, h::d tpoken to him and
urged that the city adopt concrete
instead of the brick for paving. He
also stated that the whole city was
interested in the paving and he
thought the council should take that
in consideration. lie also pointed
out cases where the concrete paving
had stood tip well under the tests.
Counclman McCarthy stated that
from his observation he saw no rea
son why the concrete should not do
the work in this city on the resi-
dence streets
and said he favored
this material.
Councilman Howe said that while
he had not traveled a great deal over
the roads that had
been concreted I
I r H
he thought that it would stand tli
test and if repairs were hard to
make and
if would
costly he did not see how

Councilman Lindeman also took'K- Newkirk company of Greenwood
the position that concrete in the resi-!f'"e day this week, and we are frank
dence districts should be able to stand ,to we were a bit surprised at the
v.. .,,,,1 - ,i i,,nrM un-to-dateness of this place of busi-
in the temperature.
Councilman Rrittain took thp view
of the majority of the councilmen '
that the price in the case? made a
big difference and also that the gov
ernment using so much of the con-
crete in their work was an evidence
that it was good road material.
Councilman Sebatkn was of the
opinion that brick probably was the
best but the difference of sil.r.000 in
the bids made a matter that should
be considered by the council.
Councilman Maurer was the only
really strong brick paving advocate
i:i the council ami he ?,tat?d that he
thought this was the only material
to use and believed that if necessary
the council should call for new bids
for paving, but have the work done
with brick, which they all knew
would stand the test of climate and
t ravel.
One of the representatives of the
brick interests then addressed the
council at some length and explain
ed many points in favor of his ma
terial as against the concrete paving
and also conducted a running lire of
comment" with the mayor, former
Mayor Schneider and W. P. Gllespie
as to the relative merits of the two
paving and continued his argument
until the gavel of the mayor ceased
the verbal fireworks.
The matter was then turned over
to the streets, alleys and bridges
committee composed of Messrs. Ptac
ek, Bestor and Scliulhof, who retired
to dscuss the matter and after some
deliberation came forth with a re
port that favored granting the con
tract to Bert Coleman, whose bid on
concrete paving was the lowest that
had been submitted. This report, on
being read, was placed before the
council for passage and carried with
Councilman Matter casting the only
dissenting vote.
Chief of Police Peter Johnstone of
Lincoln today replied that prohibition
has not only decreased the amount
of crime, but has increased it.

Things Their Own Way
The town of Murdock had a start
ling and noi altogether pleasant vis
it on Wednesday morning from a
large party of I. W. W. tourists and
one that will long be remembered
by the residents of our neighboring
town.
Shortly after 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning a northbound freight on
the Rock Island pulled into Mur
dock and as it stopped a party of
some eighty tourists who were trav
eling via the lods. alighted and pro-
ceeded to show the residents near
the station report and these together
with the white members proceeded to
break into the Neitzel hardware
store and secured two revolvers and
S00 rounds of ammunition as well as
several jacknives which was distri
buted among the members of the
party who were not armed, a num

rested until the train was ready to
pull out.
The members of the party who
were not died in the wool "Wobbks"
were lined up by their comrades and
toid that they either had to secure
the traveling cards of the I. W. W.

'able to dig up the price of the cards
and were allowed to get hack on the
train while thirty of the party were
! compelled to remain and catch an
! other train which followed in a short
j time after the "I. W. W. special."
Four members of the party were not
loath to work as they remained in
the village and are now working on
farms near that place.
This is one of the most daring vis

become a real menace if allowed to

HAS IDEAL REFRIGERATION
From Thursday's Daily
A representative of the Journal
happened into the market of the
n ess.
They have a refrigeration and
plant that provides the cool.
power
dry
air for their meat chamber and
furnishes the power tor operating tne
various mechanical and labor-saving
devices they employ. Going into the
refrigeration room, we felt we were
traveling into the polar regions, with
frost-covered pipes surrounding us.
and a temperature far below that of
the outside room. One of the great
est advantages of this system of
cooling over the old ice box type, is
in the dryness of the air. which is
not permeated with the humidity
from melting ice, but is cold and
crisp, like that of a chilly winter
morning. Another advantage is that
the temperature may he held uniform
at all times, and much lower than
that from melting ice, even to below
the freezing point if desired.
Few towns of Greenwood's size can
boast of as up-to-date a market as
the Xewklrk company operates, and
we congratulate them on their good
fortune.
During our stay. Mr. Xewkirk in
formed us that he had furnished
roasts for fifteen threshing outfits
that day and everything looked like
an excellent business is being done
by this enterprising firm.

JUDGE IN CALIFORNIA
KNOCKS OUT BLUE LAW
Los Angeles. Cal.. July 14. An
ordinance of the city of Pomona,
near htre, prohibiting Sunday amuse
ments for which an admission fee
was charged, was held unconstitu
tional yesterday by Judge Burnell of
the superior court.
The judge declared the draft was
class legislation because while pro
hibiting theaters and similiar enter
prises from operating on Sunday, it
allowed churches to take up a collec
tion, which he said was virtually an
admission fee Sunday services.
