His proposal to change the title of the bill to name tributaries as within the scope of the measure was accepted. Other senators with long prepared addresses sat dazen at the sudden action, and even the oldest attache of the senate could not recall that a measure of such far reaching im portance, and one that ultimately will take at least half a billion dol lars out of the federal treasury, had been put through with such swift ness.

We have closed the Plattsmouth Auto & Wagon Com pany's Toll Bridge over the Platte river north of Plattsmouth and we take this means of expiessing cur hearty appreciation lor the generous use the Public has made of our Bridge since its erection and opening for travel in December, 1911. Wc feel that our Bridge has been of great service to this community especially, as well as to the traveling public at large, and while it would now be entirely in adequate to handle the present day demands on ac count of the great increase in automobile travel and the constantly increasing tonnage of Trucks and Auto Busses, our bridge has served its purpose very satis factorily for many years and undoubtedly has been the means of hastezirg the construction of the new, mod ern capacious double track structure with its splendid roads loading to and from, and which has superceded our "Little Old Bridge." This State and County Aid Bridge will be paid for Wl t. II III the next few months and the closing of the old bridge will make possible the removal cf Toll Charges a trifle sooner. Again thanking the public for the splendid patron age our Bridge has always received We Remain, Very Sincerely THE PLATTSMOUTH AUTO & WAGON BRIDGE COMPANY T. H.
