i
I am yery grateful for the oppor-
tunity of - publicly expressing my
thoughts in y regard to Plattsmouth.
It has been my privilege to live
in a number of cities and a few
small towns from coast to coast and
have lived close to each border but
I think Plattsmouth the most beau-
tlbul small town I have ever saw
its people the most cordial and hos-
pitable and its climate the most
slrable I have found any place.
However, I feel in spite of all this
I could not have been so well sat-
isfied had it not been for the plea
Bure and benefit I derived from tak
ing part In the Plattsmouth Woman's
club activities.
For a number of years I had want
ed to study Parliamentary Law ana
once was invited to join a class pay
ing $2.50 a month for 3 months, 2
lessons a month. For the price of
joining the woman's club I have had
a very instructive course without
which no woman who is a member
of any organization can perform her
amies wen, especially 11 sue is mi ,
officer.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the
music and dramatic departments.
Civics and international relations
are subjects every woman should
take more interest in as well as act
ivity in order to better fulfill her
duty an an American citizen.
The American home is of vital im
portance and as bo merchant ever
knew too much about his business
no woman can know too much about
home making. All of these subjetcp
are studied and discussed in the dif
ferent departments of the Woman's
club.
The object of the woman's club all
over our country is educational, civic,
social service, study and friendly in
tercourse for its members.
An article in an eastern newspaper
has this to say describing the-new
woman's club:
"Its membership is made up largely
of home women, from gray Laired
grandmothers to young matrons, from
millionaires to wives of small salaried
men, all drawn together by common
interest in community problems."
I would like to see more women
members of the Woman's club both
for their own good and the good of
Plattsmouth. we get out of anything
what we put in it in every depart
ment of life.
Very Sincerely,
Mrs. Erie R. Teepell.

brought forth from the well laden
baskets of the members of the party
and served to the jolly crowd whose
appetites were well' whetted by the

Presents Interesting facts Cole
Orchestra Entertains.
Thprp a5 a vprv nTeaslne attend
ance last evening at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting at the public II-
brary auditorium and an especially
large number of the ladies of the
rittr Trt.ont oa ii no t.nsi n oko and
professional men and shop employes.
Preceding the opening discussions
of the evening the Cole orchestra
of Mynard, composed of Mrs. Roy
Cole, piano, Mrs. Elbert Wiles, flute,
Mrs. Sherman Cole, cello, Mrs. A. D.
Caldwell and Miss Jean Caldwell,
violins, L. D.. Hiatt, clairinet, Sher
man Cole, trombone and Roy Cole,
; cornet, gave a very fine program
that was enjoyed to the utmost and
reflected the greatest credit on the
artists and the general sentiment of
real appreciation of the musical
treat was given by President Wescott
as the orchestra was heard in the fi
nal selection of the evening at the
close of the evening.
The meeting had been selected by
the members of the chamber of com
merce at the July meeting to be the
occasion when the matter of the com
mission form of government for cities
of this size be discussed and the af
firmative and the negative sides be
presented, altho effort was made to
secure someone that could give the
unfavorable as well as the favorable
side of the proposition, it was found
impossible to secure the negative
speaker who at the last moment had
to cancel his visit and consequently
only the favorable side could be giv
en. The local Chamber of Commerce
was very fortunate in securing W.
G. Utterback of Nebraska City, head
of the department of streets, alleys
and public lands and buildings, as
the speaker of the evening and Mr.
Utterback gave a very clear and able
presentation of the conditions as he
found them iu "Nebraska City . both
before and since the adoption of the
commission.
Mr. Utterback stated that he was
not appearing as the speaking advo
cate of the form of government at
all, to urge it on any community that
might be the best judge of their own
needs and condition but would en
deavor to present the facts as to the
experience of Nebraska City. He re
lated that the commission form of
government came down from early
days and that the European system
was that largely used in the Amer
ican nation, the councilmanic and
mayor form being perhaps the most
distinctively American of the var
ious forms.
In speaking of the city manager
plan, Mr. Utterback was of the opin
ion that this did not work so well in
the smaller cities as the larger, as
the manager was not as responsive to
the people and also a great chance
was taken on the selection of the
manager, a good man making a suc
cess but one unsuited being hard to
get rid of under his contract. A
large salary was also necessary to
attract a good man to the position.
The system at Nebraska City was
that known as the Des Moines form
of commission and consisted of three
men, elected for a term of two years.
In their election the custom had been
established through the sixteen years
of the existence of the commission,
of making the man with the largest
vote the mayor, the next in rank,
the finance commissioner and the
third in charge of the streets, parks,
alleys and buildings.
The methods of the commission
selection as that anyone could file
and a 'arge number usually did. the
primary was held and six of the high
est ere placed on the ballot for the
final election.
The mayor of the commission had
general supervision of the city and
also the police department under his
charge. The finance commissioner
had the work of handling the budget
and under him the city clerk-treas
urer operated, being appointed by the
commissioner. The streets, parks and
buildings commissioner covered the
, greater field of activity in the gen-
eral care, repair and construction of
all streets and highways as well as
the parks, buildings and cemetery.
In Nebraska City the mayor re
ceived 160 per month and each of
the remaining commissioners $40
each. The city clerk-treasurer, ap-
pointed received the sum of $165 per
month.
The active work of the street de
partment was carried on by a force
of men under a foreman, there being
some ten or twelve men in the city
employe in this department, depend
ing on the work calls. The commis
sion also maintained the police force
and other employes as waa necessary
One of the advantages of the com
mission over the councilmanic form
Mr. Utterback Stated, was the factir
that fewer people were required to
; he 'seen, that the three could dis-
Paten matters wun speed ana eai -
clency and the responsibility for the
city worn was airecuy piacea ratner
than scattered over a large numoer
of men.
I The meetings of the commission
I were twice a month and open to the
public and also called meeting were
held to take up matters arising be
tween sessions. I
Mr. Utterback thought that one
improvement of the commission form
of government would be that of hav-
ing the filings made by candidates,
I for the offices for which they thought :
tnemseives oest nttea, mayor, nnance
or street departments. ;
Mr. Utterback stated that he was
not urging the commission form of.
government on any community and '
possibly the councilmanic form might'
be tor Plattsmouth, but he was I
"l l"c op"j" i"- toinruibuH
nd worked better at Nebraska City
J.na" other form. He also be-
"eved that the commisEion form was
more economical in the city as the
Proportion of overhead in his home
j city hal decreased twenty per cent
altho lareer exDenditures had been
made in the last few years in im
provement lines. The citizens in gen
eral seemed well satisfied with the
workings of the commission.
To remove a commissioner Mr. Ut
terback stated, the referendum and
recall was made a part of the act
creating the commission.
In the matter of creating paving
districts Mr. Utterback pointed out
it was carried out in accordance with
the state law as in this city, the com
mission could create a district but if
fifty-one per cent of the abuting
property owners objected the district
failed and also sixty per cent of the
property owners could petition for
paving and have the district created.
The remarks of Mr. Utterback
were much enjoyed and gave a very
clear insight into how this form of
government had been operated in Ne
braska City. .
At the conclusion of the address
it was voted to hold another meet
ing in September and the president
instructed to try and secure an op
ponent of the commission form to
give the other side of the picture.
