Settlement was made in "Camp

Mary grew as a girl. Her father had
the first hotel in Nebraska City when
it was a struggling village of but

ing a value upon state aid bridges
that are purchased of private own
ers, that body Friday made a find-i
ing that the bridge built by the
King of Trails company across the
Platte three miles northwest of
Plattsmouth, is $120,974.30.
The counties of Sarpy and Cass
with state aid, propose to buy this
bridge, which is on the line be
tween the two counties. This is be
ing done over the protest of T. II.
Pollock, who owns another bridge
a quarter mile or bo distant from
this one. He says that the bridge
was not necessary and that to use
public money for buying it is to
waste it. He had attorneys present.
There is a lawsuit in the courts over
the matter.
The King of Trails company built
it last year, the plans and prelim
inary estimates being supplied by
the state. It was constructed under
contract after competitive bids had
been received. The contract price
was less than the estimate.
The contract called for a con-
crete-steel structure over the main
channel of the river which con
sisted of twelve one hundred foot ;
spans, with graveled roadway ap
proaches at the ends. By agreemen .
the plans were changed to twentj'-i
four fifty-foot spans, and during1
construction four more spans were!
added. I
The actual cost as reported to the'
state engineer and substantiated by
'the commission accountant was
$123,026.57. This included an al
lowance of $5,052.27 for interest
during construction, computed at S
per cent. The commission thinks C
per cent is ample, and so cuts this
item to $3,000.
The cost of right of way and bor-row-pits
was challenged in the testi
mony. The bridge stands on a north
and south line. The highway
approaches the south end of the
structure from the east and along
the bank of the river. The approach
makes a sharp turn to the north to
connect with the bridge. The natural Ashland, Neb., March 4. Poul-

The members of the community
surrounding Mynard spent a pleasant
evening when they were entertainea
by a two-act play, "The Charm of the
Old Album." sponsored by the My

The first part of the program was
given by the Cole orchestra assisted
by a flute solo "by Mrs. Elbert Wiles
and vocal solos by Mr. Raymond Cook,
with Mrs. Caldwell playing the violin
cbligato.
The characters were Mrs. Howard
Wiles, as a modern young girl of sev
enteen, Mrs. Sherman Cole, the girl's
mother, Mrs. J. Ii. Livingston, an
aunt, and Mrs. W. T. Richardson, the
jrandmother. The members of the
cast were well chosen and were ex
ceptionally clever in thier parts. Much
credit is due to the committees for
their part in making the play a suc
cess.
At the close a free will offering was
taken for the purpose of starting a;
