WEBSTER BOULE
VARD AN ASSET
TO COMMUNITY
Highway Should Be Paved Without
Delay Regardless of Other
Paving Projects.
From Thursday's Daily
The paving of the John R. Webster
hmiWarri orton.i;nr frnm Trim
street northwest to the federal high -
way at the north of the Nebraska
Masonic Home grounds, has been un
der discussion for a long period of
time that should long ago permitted
the paving to be completed and the
Nebraska Masonic Home association
been able to further advance their
improvement program at the home's
grounds.
The ordinances that cover the pav
ing of this very important street are
now before the council after six
months consideration and have again
been shelved for a two weeks period
and the work of improvement on one
of the great interests of the city
checked because of the slowness or
lack of real interest in this great
project by the council.
This boulevard is the most im
portant paving project of the year
as it is a street that is constantly
being traveled, hundreds of cars
passing over it each day. To aid in
the development of a fine boulevard
the Masonic Home and the city ac
quired the Parker property to widen
the approach to the boulevard and
now the work is again checked for a
period of several weeks instead of be
ing put through and the work start
ed so the boulevard might be com
pleted this summer, to be of use to
travelers as well as allowing the
Masonic Home association to go
ahead with their improvement pro
gram. Webster boulevard traverses the
grounds of the Nebraska Masonic
Home association and practicallj' the
entire cost of the paving will be
paid by the association which is
ready and willing at any time to
pay the cost to get the work done
and the boulevard completed. Under
these conditions is would seem that
there should be some prompt, actiozi
taken in regard to this particular
piece of work.
The Nebraska Masonic Home Is a
splendid institution and one that
Plattsmouth should take a just pride
in possessing, the Home management
and the officers of the association
have co-operated with the city in all
of the proposed improvements along
that section of the city, they have
paid heavy costs in paving Elm street
and part of Fifteenth, the association
has paid practically the entire cost
of the sewer extension there, they
have taken land and property that
was practically useless and without
real value and made it a part of a
splendid landscape garden to sur
round their fine array of buildings,
now that they desire to complete this
work they should. have the support of
the city council in seeing that the
paving project is pushed to comple
tion and the ordinance allowing the
work and the advertising for bids
should be acted upon as soon as possi
ble. The using of this Webster boule
vard paving as a football to be bat
tled around with other paving pro
jects should be frowned upon by the
citizens of the community and some
prompt action demanded.
Other paving is needed, but none
of these is as important as this one
particular piece of work, as it is a
link in the great federal highway
and traveled everyday by hundreds of
cars.
The Nebraska Masonic Home and
its interests are far more important
to the city of Plattsmouth than is
realized and the amount of improve
ment and the money spent by the
Home association in the past year in
this city is enough to command the
heeding of their request for the com
pletion of the paving work and par
ticularly as the Home association is
paying practically all of the cost.
It is a matter that is vital to the
entire city and every man, woman
and child should insist on the coun
cil getting busy on this piece of work
as soon as possible. The members of
the council should forget their
squabbles and heartburnings over
other pieces of work and show that
they have the best Interests of the
city at heart in allowing this paving
project to go through at once.

BAND CONCERT PLEASES
From Friday's Daily
Last evening one of the largest
crowds that have been out to attend
the summer band concert programs
of the Eagles band, was present to
attend the concert held on the lower
portion of Main street between Third

The program given consisted of
several of the popular standard se
lections, the familiar melodies of
"The Gypsy Baron," "The Prince of
Pilsen," and the sextette from "Lu
cia," which drew forth the hearty
applause of the large crowd.
Especially pleasing was the xylo
phone solo given by Anton Bajeck,
"My Regards," the accompaniment
being played very artistically by the
band and to which the soloist and the
band were compelled to respond with
an encore.
"June Night." one of the artistic
popular numbers, was also a great
favorite with the large audience and
the sweet-voiced singers of the band,
who assisted in the rendition of the
number, were compelled to respond
with an encore.
All the numbers were splendidly
given and the large crowd and the
warm reception given the selections
were proofs that Plattsmouth resi
dents are appreciative of the fine se
lections given.

JOHN WAYMAN
OLD TIME RESI

One Time Owner of Machine Shop

Several days ago the Journal re
ceived a letter from one of the old
pioneer residents of the city. John
Wayman, of Wyandotte, Michigan
who is now in his eighty-third year
and has been a reader of the Journal
since its establishment in 1SS1.
The name of Wayman will be very
familiar to the old time residents of
the community, as Mr. Wayman was
for many years one of the familiar
and active figures in the business
and social life of the community.
In the seventies and eighties, Mr
Wayman was engaged here as a ma
chinist and for a number of years
conducted a machine shop and foun
dry on Washington avenue, located
just east of the Heisel mill. At that
time there was a large brick build
ing there erected by Mr. Wayman
and occupied with his machine shop
as well as foundry and casting plant
where he made a large number of
pieces of iron work that were used
in the construction of buildings.

As the competition of the large

engaged as a machinist in the local
Burlington shops at which he con
tinued until leaving this city for the
east, where he lived for a time at
Pittsburg, and later went to Wyan

Mr. Wayman is still active as his
letter indicates, his work in the
