State Seeks a
Rehearing in the
Pappio Flood Case
Says Court Wrong in Decision Sus
taining the $25,000 Verdict
Against State.
In asking the supreme court for
rehearing in the case from Sarpy
county where Thomas Glehill and
number of other land owners were
awarded damages of 125,000 because
of the character of the construction
of a state highway bridge over the
Pappio, Assistant Attorney General
Newkirk and Kyle Wednesday in
sisted that the decision hands over
to claimants thousands of dollars of
state funds for damages, which be
sides being of the most speculative
ture, were caused by recurring na
natural conditions wholly apart from
construction work on state Improve
ment projects. If the decision stands.
it will not only, rise as B&nquo's
ghost to harass the court in later
itigation, but will result in count
less suits instituted by those who
grow their crops on paper rather
than on the land they occupy.
It is insisted by the state's attor
neys that the decision is contrary to
the law and the facts, and that the
least that can be done Is to order
retrial of the measure of damages.
To comply with the rule of law laid
down in the decision it will be neces
sary to build bridges the full width
of a valley, it is contended. The court
said that bridges must be bo built
as to provide for the flow of all wa
ter which can be carried in the chan
nel including the natural flow of
the channel, which means the whole
valley. The bridge was a temporary
Improvement only, and complaint Is
made that the court awards larger
damages than were It permanent.

Ticket Sale
Senior Class Leads, with the Fresh
men a Close Second in Result
of Ticket Sales.
"The Seniors Win Again," has been
the common headline for football
ticket sale campaigns for a good
many years in the annual competi
tion between the classes of Platts
mouth high school. The clas3 of '33
was the victor in the campaign which
closed Friday but the unprecedented
showing of the freshman class was
the feature of the drive. The classes
finished in the following order: Sen
iors first, freshmen, second, Juniors,
third and sophomore fourth. The
Frosh maintained second place
throughout the contest and at one
time were within three points of the
lead. The entire student body gave
the freshmen a great ovation for the
wonderful showing which they made
and also gave the freshmen credit
for making the drive one of the most
successful in the history of the
school. It was the fear of the upper
classmen that the freshmen would
win which spurred them on to fever
ish efforts to sell tickets.
The drive this year was a great
success witn the exceedingly iow
rates making it possible for more
Etudents to buy season tickets. This
fact, coupled with the victory of the
team Friday points to a good foot
ball season.
The students also appreciated the
posters made by Francis Warren, a
post graduate. These posters show
rare talent and made a splendid ad
vertisement for the sale of tickets.
