See Return
of Venizelo's
Greece's Strong Man Expected to
Again Take Helm Outcome
of Political Crisis
Athens, The return to power of
Constantine Venizelos, strong man of
Greece during the war, was forecast
today as the outcome of the Greek
political crisis.
The cabinet has resigned and par
liament was suspended by President
Koundouriotis after it received the
cabinet's resignation.
Boisterous secenes followed the an
nouncement of the suspension. Par
tisans of Gen. John Mextaxas, min
ister of communications and lead
er of the free opinion party, a wing
of the former royalist party, pro
tested so uproariously that the speak
er of the assembly left the floor.
The vice-president, who is a member
of the free opinion party, took the
chair and the opposition held a short
sitting from which newspapermen
were excluded. This action resulted
in an address or protest from the
press gallery by a newspaperman.
The cabinet's hesignatlon followed
the announcement of Finance Min
ister George Kafandaris of his resig
nation from the cabinet and later
from the leadership of the liberal
party. Five other liberal ministers
then resigned and Premier Alexander
Zaimis found it impossible to recon
struct the ministery and offered the
resignation of his cabinet to the presi
dent. Should Veuizelas return, the mod
erate royalists, including the follow
ers of General Metaxes, were regard
ed as likely to stir up considerable
controversy. Refusal of General Met
axas to collaborate with any govern
ment influenced by Veniaelos, whe
has long been regarded as the power
behind the secenes, was held to be
partly responsible for the present
crisis.

Council Has
Very Quiet Meet
ing Last Night;
Designate fjjty Depositories and Dis-

tem for the City.
Frtiiri Tuesday's "Daiiv
Last evening the city council had
a very quiet time at their regular
meeting and the affairs of the body
the city. As these two are on the
finance committee with Councilman
Tills. Mayor Sattler drafted Coun
uilnien Smith and Horn to serve
temporarily and help check the
claims of the city.
A communication was received
! from the Farmers State and the
Plattsmouth State banks requesting
designated as city de-
fnr tinrm f nr,.
1 er.t city treasurer, and on motion
of Smith, seconded by Tulene the
resolution authorizing the designa
tion of the banks was made.
The council received a communi
cation announcing that the Platts
mouth Water Co., has disposed of
their holdings to the Plattsmouth
Water Corporation and which would
be thc designation of the company
! in the future.
1 The firm of McKee & Myers of
Lincoln was received and in which
, this firm offered to handle the city
; audit for the sum of $140 and one
aso from te O. M. Campbell Co.,'
offering to do the work for the sum
: of $150. Mayor Sattler stated that
t he did not know whether or not a
yearly audit was necessary but that
, this was for the council to determine
for themselves. It was decided to
refer the communications to the fi
nance committee for their investi
gation and to report at the next
meeting of the council.
Postmaster J. W. Holmes present
ed a statement that an inspector of
the postofTice department had look
ed over the city relative to the ex
tension of the city mail delivery and
wished a better system of street
signs or designation. The postmaster
suggested the adoption of the system
of numbered streets as at present
with the others being numbered ami
letter avenuen in the various sec-
tions of the city as proposed in 1913
! but which was not well observed as
the residents have continued the
original names of the streets which
i has been in existence since the plat
ting of the city many years ago.
I This matter was also referred to the
(Streets, alleys and bridges committee
for their action.

The mayor and councilmeu indulg-

interesting subject that of the
w3ter rates when a communication
(was read from the Lane Wells Sys-
j tern of Memphis, Tennessee, relative
. to the construction and maintenance
. of water plants over the country.

Mayor Sattier stated that the city
rhould commence to give the mat
ter of a water plant serious consid
eration as the franchise of the pres
ent company was expiring in 1932
and the citizens should prepare to try
and secure some relief from the high
rates that were prevailing. The city
of Plattsmouth. Mr. Sattler stated,
had to pay $75 a year for each of
the hydrants or a total of $7,500,
and the citizens paid high rates in
proportion to secure a return of
reven per cent of $200,000 valuation
of the water plant. In Nebraska City
Mr. Sattler stated the city paid $35
a year for their fire hydrants and
had 135 in use while this city main
tained 100. The time was near when
the community should consider try
ing to provide lower rates by a plant
of their own or purchase of the pres
ent plant.
The matter of the police judgship
then was brought up by the city at
torney as Judge Weber has been
quite ill for several months and the
city has had occasion to try cases
that must be heard before the county
court and where Judge Duxbury finds
his time largely taken with his own
hearings and makes it difficult- to
handle the city affairs. The members
of the cauncil and the councilmen
were hopeful that the police judge
might recover from his indisposition
and carry on his work, even if it
become necessary to have the cases
heard at his home.
The matter of having a heavier oc
cupation tax for the bread trucks and
other outside agencies that came here
and made direct sales to the local
people was then discussed, but as
the Judiciary commiteee has not as
yet prepared its report the matter
was not acted upon but will await
the gatherings of the judiciary com
mittee with the city attorney.
The streets, alleys and bridges
committee reported that in regard to
the work needed on Maiden Lane and
Pearl street to open that thorough
fare 'to travel, that the committee
had investigated and found that the
proposition, would be very expensive
and they wished the judgment of
the whole council before they took
any action in the matter. Chairman
Kunsmann stated that the job would
cost from $250 to $300 in bis opinion
and that the culvert which had
been placed in thc vicinity of where
the new wcrk was needed. wa3 also
in need of more wings and better pro
tection or the entire structure might
be washed out.
The light committee through
Chairman Highfield stated that they
would recommend the moving of a
light which was now located at Sixth
and old to Seventh and Silver
streets where it was needed a great
deal worse.
The cemetery committee through
Chairman Tulene reported that the
work of cleaning up the cemetery
was under way and that a great deal
of work had been looked after but
that the whole cemetery could not be
cleaned up by memorial day altho
every effort would be made to get it
in shape. The committee also re
commended that a large tank be
placed in the cemetery and that wa
ter be hauled to supply those who
would need it for their lots on mem
orial day.
The council then discussed the
matter of the vacating of the road
just south of the cemetery and where
the city might be able to get half
of the roadway for use and which
would make cemetery lots.
There being no other pressing
business and adjournment was had
at 9:30 of the city legislative body.
Mrs. Philip Snowden admits that
she "never expected the millennium
as a result of thc women's vote."
Well, that is what they promised us
over here; or If not millennium some
thing so like it you could not tell
them apart.
