Hiehwav Quarantine Lifted The two towns of Nehawka and Union, which have been under quar antine of the motoring public for the past nine months while the work of grading and paving the O street road has been in progress, will with the coming week be free, as the latter part of the concrete slab, extending from the new Weeping Water creek bridge east to the juncture of this road with U. S. 75, will bo uncov ered, beginning today. The opening of the new road is indeed welcome after the long wait its building has necessitated, and during all of which time people have avoided coming this way. There has been some talk of cele brating the event, but whether or not it will be done, we are unaware. It would surely be a nice thing to do so and to have news of the open ing of the pavement published as widely as possible, that all may know access to these two towns is no long er cut off and there is no hindrance in the way of detours. What do you think about it, boys? The paving is here and it would be a good time to celebrate! Opens New Store O. A. Gude, of Nebraska City, has opened a new store in the room where Mrs. Mabel E. Reynolds has been engaged in business for some years, prior to closing the business there a few weeks since.

Sattler Funeral Home 4th and Vine Plattsmouth Normal Board Cuts Salaries of All Employees Reduction Will Average Twenty Per cent in the Four State Nor mal Schools. The state normal board Monday afternoon struggled with a proposed reduction of salaries to be applied to all state normal schools beginning vith the new school year. The uni versity had set an example with a reduction of 22 percent. Edwin Crites of Chadron, proposed a straight reduction of 20 percent, which he said would come within the reduction made by the legisla ture in its appropriation for normal chools. Edgar Ferneau proposed a reduc tion of 20 percent on all salaries, no cut to apply below SI, 000, which would also come within the legisla tive allowance and not reduce the pay of the small salaried employes, some of whom have families. Both proposals were voted down. The board agreed to exempt the Irst 500 and to cut the next SI, 000 "jy 20 percent and the balance over and above $1,000 to be cut 30 per cent. This method, it was shown, would cut a $950 salary to I860, J600 salary to $580. J. R. Rohn of Fremont, compiled i statement showing that the present alaries at the four normals and the proposed reductions would be: Present Proposed Peru $151,216 $122,465 135,200 102,714 120,824 Kearney 169.100 Chadron 132,541 Wayne 149,970 Totals $602,827 $481,203 This makes a total reduction of $121,622, or a little more than 20 percent. Later the board will take up in dividual salaries under an agreement to raise or lower particular salaries to make them more equitable as be tween faculty members in each insti tution and as between the four col leges. The presidents of the institutions as the highest salaried officials will take the biggest cut. Basing their present salary at $5,600 they would receive a total cut of $1,410 a year each, which is slightly more than 25.5 percent. Two of the presidents have been paid $5,000 but were fur nished homes but the board ordered the salaries considered as of $5,600 in determining: the reductions Journal Want-AOs cost only a few cents and get real results!
