The residents of Blair gave large ly in the stock of the fine bridge that they have over the Missouri, which was the prospect when the matter was first suggested here sev eral years ago and the residents of - WA6HWEAR' Foc&Mldev OHIRTS and BLOUSES bearing this famous name and found only at this store in Plattsmouth are the first things needed for the opening round of school.

Plattsmouth Motor Telephone Nebraska City are now being solicit ed to raise the sum of S 300,0 00 to secure a bridge over the river. Here at this city, the Plattsmouth Bridge Co., was organized, there has not been any demand made as to the citizens subscribing any amount large or small, to secure the bridge and now; a $700,000 structure is nearing completion and will connect this city directly on the east and west routes to Chicago and Denver. The time has arrived when the bridge will be ready and is without a means of communication with the city near which it is built and at this time there is an imperative need for the construction of a road to the bridge and one that the people of Plattsmouth have the opportunity of making one that will be to the ad vantage of their property and busi ness interests. This is the only re quest that the bridge company has made and it is a most modest one indeed when the cost to other cities is viewed. The Cass county commissioners have aceeded to the requests for a road and with the assistance of the state of Nebraska has prepared plans for a highway that was suggested by the local people and the route of which was formally adopted at School Days! School Days! Good Old Golden Rule are mighty near at hand School Wear! himciL auar two, y Co No. 44 a meeting of the city councH several weeks ago. This road is the one on which it is now proposed to erect a viaduct from the park on "Wintersteen hill to the site of the Atlantic House on Third street to form an overhead crossing. In the building of this the Burlington has agreed to pay $4,250, the bridge company makes a donation of $4,250 and the city of Plattsmouth, $10,000, half of which represents an old disputed claim of the railroad against the city for taxes that were paid by the railroad on the wrong assessment. The road to run from Third street to Main and thence west. Ab the alternative to this road, it has been suggested that the road to the bridge be run on Lincoln avenue to the end of the Burling ton shops and thence over the hills east to the bridge. This road will require that the city widen Lincoln avenue apd also place in a sewer ing system in the creek east of the avenue and along the Burlington shop property. No estimate was made of the cost of this highway but it is expected that it will reach in the neighborhood of the first planned highway. The bridge company has notmade any excessive demands for support in this great project as was stated before, but is willing that the high way come through this city to aid anf possible way it might, the busi ness interests and the value of the property along the route and near the highway. It is time that the road matter be settled and work started on some road to lead to the bridge, the com munity owing it to themselves to make this effort to support a move that has cost other localities hun dreds of thousands of dollars.

Heiuss but brlnslii3 cattle for exhibition in Liacolci Month Allowed for Drivers to Obtain License New Law In Effect Next Sunday Need Permits by October 1 Must Be Over Sixteen General information to the public concerning the provisions and re quirements of the new drivers' li cense law for Nebraska, which will be in force on and after next Sun day, is contained in an explanatory statement prepared in the office of State Engineer Cochran, whose duty it will be to administer that enact nient. No only the terms of the act it self, but questions likely to arise in carrying it uot, are covered in this synopsis. For intance, if any citi zen of Nebraska happens to be ab sent from the state during the month of September and is thereby prevent ed from making his application In person within 30 days, as the law specifies he shall do, he will be al lowed to file it when he returns and receive a license without examina tion, the same as if he had been here within the specified period. The law itself is silent on this point, but it will be enforced in a reasonable manner. Herewith are the statutory pro visions and rules that will govern the issuance of divers' licenses, as set forth in the public works depart ment's cidcular: Aimed at Eeckless Driver. "The motor vehicle operator's li cense law goes into effect September 1. One month's time is given to se cure a license and every motor ve hicle driver will be required to have his license by October 1. "The sole purpose of the law is to control reckless driving. By the suspension of his license, a reckless driver will be kept of the highway for a time at least. It seems to be the general opinion that to deprive a person of the right to drive is more effective than a fine or even a jail sentence. . "The law will be administered by the department of public works. The county treasurer of each county acts as agent for the department. "A summary of the main items under this law is given below: "1. Every applicant for a drivers' license must fill out an application in duplicate before a license can be issued. The original is retained by the county treasurer and the dupli cate is filed with the bureau of reg istration at the capitol. "2. Each applicant., must make oath to the correctness of the state ments made in the application, which oath may be given by the county treasurer . or . someone appointed by him to take applications. , "3. All questions on the applica tion must be answered. No Proxies Accepted. "4. Every member of a family that wishes a license must make ap plication in person. "5. Persons who are out of the state during September will be given an opportunity to secure a license upon their return without any in convenience. "6. The owner of a car who does not drive it himself is not required to secure a license. "7. The application should be made out on the typewriter when ever possible as thes -applications are filed away for permanent records. S. The application when taken by an agent of the treasurer must be forwarded to the county treas urer, who shall pass on the fitness of the applicant and issue the li cense. "9. If a person lose his license card he will be given another for a cents, but this card must be marked 'Duplicate.' "10. While a person is learning to drive he does not need a license card, but someone who has a card must always be along. , 11. The county treasurer cannot refuse a license to a person whom he knows to be a reckless driver or to a person who might be too old to drive a car. Every person who has been driving a car for six months must be given a license and the li cense can be revoked if it is proven mat he is unfit to drive a car. "12. The county treasurer should refuse to issue a license card to a person who is not a resident of the county. "13. Boys and girls under 16 years of age, cannot be granted li censes to drive to school. The law previously prohibited persons under 6 years of age from driving cars. This law makes no change in this respect. All of the foregoing regulations apply to persons 16 years old and over who have been driving cars for 6 months prior to September 1, either in Nebraska or elsewhere. The law contemplates that every such person shall be licensed with out examination. The same rule will hold until January 1, 1930. A license once issued is good in efinitely without renewal, so lonjr as the holder shall continue to be a resident of Nebraska, unless it be subsequently revoked or cancelled for cause.

The dispute arose over the fact that the material was unloaded a long distance from the scene of operation and the drivers felt that' they should receive a larger sum for hauling as the trips required more time than when the work was first started and a longer distance had to be traveled by the trucks between the place of assembling the material and where the paving operations was made of the matter, the con tractors and the superintendent ar ranged an agreement giving the truck drivers a raise in the price of each load hauled and the men were back on the job and the work of lay ing the paving again under way. As soon as the present paving work from near the C. F. Harris farm south to the Union corner is com pleted the work will be started on the northern end of the roadway from where the paving started onto the Murray corner.
