Road to New
Bridge Should
be Started Now
Completion - of Bridge Nearer and
Bickering Over Roadway Caus
ing Much Annoyance
From Wednesday's Daily
Back three and four years ago, the
business men and residents of this
city were visiting Eagle, Elmwood,
Weeping Water, Louisville and Glen
wood, carrying the message of a
bridge over the Missouri river at
this point and every meeting was
filled with enthusiasm and the prom
ise of support in every way and
which was the first starting of a
great movement that is now near
ing completion.
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

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

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.

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.

STRIKE ON PAVING WORK
The .truckers employed on the
paving on highway No. 75 near
Union had a small sized strike on
Friday and Saturday but which was
satisfactorily settled and tha warring
drivers of the trucks were back at
work Saturday. 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. Work on the.
paving in the vicinity of this city
has been checked by the fact that
re-location of part of the highway
has been made and which-. makes,. ,,,
necessary the appraisement and
condemnation of part of the land on
the Elbert Wiles farm south of this
city.
