P. F. Peterson Baking Co., of Omaha
Seeks Injunction to Prevent En
forcing Ordinance.
The long standing battle between
the smaller towns in and near Omaha
with the baking companies of Omaha
that operate delivery trucks, has
spread "to Weeping Water and the
P. P. Peterson Co., of Omaha, is seek
ing to have the city of Weeping Wa
ter restrained from attempting to
collect the tax that was recently
levied under the provisions of ordi
nance No. 138 of the city of Weep
ing Water.
The petition states that the plain
tiff company, the P. F. Peterson Bak
ing Co., of Omaha, will resist the
payment of the tax of $5 per day,
$15 perweekor $50 per year, levied
on the non-resident vendors of bread,
etc. It is" "alleged that the ordinance
is- in violation of the constitution of
the United States regarding the pro
tection of the property of the citizen
from being taken without the process
of law. It is also contended that
the ordinance is discriminating and
illegal in that it provides for a tax
on "non-resident vendors of bread.
etc." and does not levy a tax on the
resident vendors.
This is the third case covering the
ordinances of cities that the Omaha
baking companies are now engaged
in fighting, having one with the city
of Fremont and which is pending in
the supreme court, one with the city
of Plattsmouth over a similar ordi
nance, which has been pending in the
district court for over a year but for
some reason has never been tried
and now the suit with Weeping Wa
ter.
The baking companies have paid
over to the city of Plattsmouth the
tax for the present year under pro
test and nave since made demand for
the refund of the amount paid
but
which was refused by the city.
GOODBYE PARTY
Friday evening while Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Jones were contemplating a
farewell attendance at one of the lo
cal lodges, they were surprisingly de
tained by a company of neighbors
and former teacher-associates who
happened In to spend the evening
before the departure of Mr. and Mrs.
Jones for their new home. This has
been the home of Mr. Jones from
early childhood and with his father's
family, he has seen and experienced
many of the changes thru which
Plattsmouth has passed and has al
ways been a loyaL citizen.
Mrs. Jones came here as a teacher
in the Junior high grades under Sup
erintendent Pratt, being called to
fill a vacancy -occurring in mid-year
1919-1920. She proved an excellent
teacher, especially fitted for that
grade of pupils and it was with re
gret that teachers and many school
patrons saw her retirement last
spring. After her marriage to Mr.
Jones a few years ago, her interests
as a citizen were given to Platts
mouth. The friends had hoped they
would remain with us thru the com
ing years and find some means of
adequate income here. Such was
their plan until the opportunity for
which they were looking opened in
another town, so with less than a
week's notice, they have packed their
household goods and will depart to
enter business for themselves at
Exeter, Nebraska.
Friends and neighbors therefore
joined in a social evening to express
their sincere friendship. The time
was spent in a return to games of
more youthful days each one con
ducting one game, and it is surpris
ing how young we stay in spite of
age. While merriment was still run
ning high, refreshments were served
by the committee in charge.
A gift' of remembrance was pre
sented to the guests of honor and
the evening closed with expressions
of regret that we were to lose from
our midst such congenial and in
terested associates. Best wishes for
success and happiness in their new
home was extended and a sugges
tion that the party be continued In
Exeter at some future date before the
snow files.
ENJOYS A FINE TRIP
From Thursday's Dally
Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Hild
and son, Verner, and Mrs. Alfred
Gansemer of Murray came home from
a very pleasant trip that they have
enjoyed to Minneapolis and through
the greater part of the state of Iowa.
They took with them on the trip
north, Mrs. William Puis, Sr., mother
of Mrs. Hild and Mrs. Gansemer and
who is making a visit for some time
with her daughter, Mrs. E. J. Ring
wood, formerly Miss Laura Puis of
Murray. While at Minneapolis Mr.
Hild enjoyed the pleasures of seeing
the Minneapolis and St. Paul teams
of the American Association play at
the Minneapolis league park, but the
projected double header was limited
by rain to one game.
The party In going to Minneapolis
drove by way of Spirit Lake, Iowa,
and Mankato, Minnesota, while on
the return they came by the way of
Fairbault, Mason City, Des Moines
and thence to Osceola and then on
to Shenandoah, where they enjoyed
a visit at the radio stations and
came home via Nebraska City.

teacher in history the board has
named Gerald Craznicka of Lincoln,

pleased to learn that Rev. and Mrs.
George A. Weaver, who have for a
number of years been in charge of

UA COLD HELL"
Frrm Thursdav's Panv
This was the general description
given by officials and employes of
the Cass county court house this
morning as the temperature glided
down to near the freezing point and
the fact that the work on the heat
ing plant which has been in progress
for some time was still on, there
could be no steam provided to heat
the city government building,
Several of the officials showed their
resourcefulness as they hiked out and
secured material from which to con
struct fires in the fireplaces which
.decorated a number of the offices of
the building and which partially
overcame the damp and cold. Still
others tried to get up sufficient heat
,'hy having electric heaters brought in
to warm things up, but which was
rather a feeble effort to provide suffi
cient heat.
Sheriff Reed and Deputy Sheriff
Young solved the matter of heat by
going to the county fair and leaving
the other officers to do their best to
keep warm. As the day progressed a
Jarger number also were preparing
to "go to the fair" for the day.
