Bridge Meeting
at Lincoln Mon
day Big Success
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Attends Meeting with Legis
lative Committee.
Regardless of the fact the Omaha
Bee in this morning's "Home" edi
tion, in reporting the bridge meet
ing at Lincoln, 3 p. m. yesterday, did
not extend to this city the courtesy
of mentioning the fact that Judge
Begley introduced the bill at - the
meeting, in a brilliant and forceful
speech, and that Plattsmouth was
fully covered in the program of loca
tion of bridges, and that we had the
largest delegation of any community
or city represented at that meeting;
we say, regardless of the fact the Bee
followed its usual tactics in ignoring
Plattsmouth, yet yesterday was the
linest demonstration of genuine pure
bred support of President Judge Beg
ley and the Chamber of Commerce
that has. yet been pulled off.

R the mud roads it was impossible to
get the doctors out before the event
occurred. Other accidents, other sick

must have safe highways.

with door receipts and the sale of
