NO. 52 SfoucnaL PAVING MATTER IS STIRRING MANY NEBRASKA CITIES Other Communities that Have the Rough Granite Block Paving Want it Replaced. From Monday's Ially. From the accounts over the state it seems that other of the smaller cities that have the rough granite block paving similar to that which now graces the principal street of Plattsmouth, are agitating a change that will make traveling more com fortable and add to the appearance of the streets. In our neighboring city of Nebras ka City this matter is being pressed as it has been here and there they are considering the proposition of putting a coating of asphaltic con crete or sheet asphalt over the pres ent rough blocks as experts have stated that this could be carried out at the price of Jl.LO per square yard. This proposition has been consid ered in this city in the plans for the remodeling of the street which it is hoped to put into execution in the spring, but here the soft base on which the paving rests has been of fered as one reason why it might not be successful. The p:e?ent Hock paving rests on the sand foundation and this in turn on the dirt that is affected by the cold ami heat and with its contraction and expansion has caused many uneven places to appear in the paving especially with heavy traffic, that has caused the paving to sink in places and bulge up in others. The fact that in this city the main street acts as the car rier of large volumes of surface wa ter has made it very easy for the wa ter to penetrate into the paving and. undermine the foundation. t Another reason "why the present paving even if used again would have to be relaid several inches from what it is at present. This would not in the least detract from the ap pearance of the street and would make it much more sure that the flood waters could m.e V?elv ec&Pe without doing damr.ge as "tltey have done in former years. .The lavrejing of the street in 1908 was a great; saver for the city and a little fur ther precaution would no", be amiss, as it is far better to be sure of safe ty than to be filled with regret. As this matter is one that prob ably oecury the limelight in the near future it would "be well for the property owners to think the mat ter over very carefully between now and the time that the re-paving ia trough! up. The city council has already cre ated the district and the actual work of securing bids and letting tLe con tract for the work vill -probably h 'brought up in the spring. j EHGAMFKE8T OF ODD FELLOWS HOLS SESSION Newly Elected Officers Installed by Dist. Eeputy Elmer Johnson and Staff from Louisville. From Monday's IJhTIv The members of Mystic Encamp ment No. 31. I. O. O.

County Agent L. R. Snipes was over today from Weeping Water looking after the work of his office and while here offered the sugges tion to the former service men of the community in which they might have some real sport and also to the community a good deal of good. This was the holding of a big wolf hunt by the members cf the American Le gion in the different portions of the county where the Legion and service men are found. There l:r.s been re ports of a great many coyotes and -wolves over the county and the agent believes the former service men could go a long ways in reduc ing the number by holding these hunts.
