VERY HAPPY EVENT
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard

by the birth of a fine little son to
them, which was born at the Meth
odist hospital at Omaha on Monday.

sio nhas brought the greatest of
pleasure to all of the family circle.
Mrs. Born was formerly Miss Eliza

Local Sponsored
Law Made
Paving
Plans Possible
Measure That Granted Cities Share
of Gas Tax Money May Make
Paving Work Possible.
The measure that was for several
years urged by former Mayor John
P. Sattler for the allotment of a cer
tain per cent of the gas tax funds
to the cities where the tax was paid,
may be the means of making possible
the repaving of Sixth street, one of
the world's worst highways.
Mr. Sattler when mayor urged re
peatedly that this measure be enact
ed and the Chamber of Commerce en
tered the fray and joined in the ef
forts that drew in other towns of the
state and with the result that the
legislature passed a law that gave a
percentage of the tax to the cities for
road work.
This road fund built from the gas
tax has been carefully guarded and
outside of a small amount used on
general road work is now in the
treasury and will be the contribution
of the city to the repaving of the two
blocks on Sixth street if the commun
ity will raise the needed $1,000 to ap
ply on the work. The gas tax fund
is now some $2,500.
All communities of the state have
profited by the law in carrying on
road work in the municipalities,
which is fair and just, as a large part
of the gasoline tax comes from the
auto and truck owners of the towns.

Repavement of
Sixth Street is
within Reach
Raising of $1,000 Among Property
Owners Last Hurdle to Assure
OK of Long Sought Job.
After many discouraging setbacks,
repavement of Plattsmouth's much
discussed (and cussed) Sixth street
is within reach provided property
owners and citizens interested raise
11,000 to help defray the $13,500
necessary to do this work in accord
ance with state highway plans and
specifications. Besides the heavily re
inforced concrete pavement the plans
include extension of the storm sewer
north and south from its present
terminus and enlargement of box in
lets all along the way to take care
of flood waters.
This fact was brought out at a
special meeting of the council held
last night to discuss rejection of the
WPA Sixth street paving proposal
as previously submitted, which had
been returned for revision due to its
carrying a greater man-year cost than
federal regulations permit.
The council voted unanimously to
hike its "ante" several hundred dol
lars over the amount previously pledg
ed in the rejected application, going
the limit of what it will be able to
spend from gas tax money, but there
still remains a shortage of approxi
mately S 1,000 to meet the federal re
quirements, and whether the job is
secured or not will depend wholly on
the response to the drive for funds
that is to be undertaken at once un
der joint sponsorship of the council
and Chamber of Commerce.
When one considers that a few
years ago an even greater sum than
this was pledged by adjoining prop
erty owners and those owning busi
ness buildings within a half block of
the street to be improved in the hope
of getting the ''work done at that
time, it should not be a difficult mat
ter to raise the needed thousand
now.
Man-Year Cost Too High
High material cost and the fact the
job is to be done in strict compliance
with' specifications mapped" by the
state highway department, including
heavy reinforcement and the provid
ing of increased drainage facilities,
is what brought the man-year rate
so far above the maximum amount
set by the government . for work of
this type, that it was necessary to re
ject the proposal outright or have it
scaled down through the furnishing
of a greater part of the cost by the
local community. To overcome this,
the council voted to provide gravel
and form lumber in addition to its
previously pledged contribution. Af
ter shifting these two expensive items
from the federal column to the spon
sor's column, the man-year cost was
still found to be prohibitive.
Turn Down One Block Proposal
The council, reeling that it had
gone the limit in contribution, then
took up the proposition of cutting the
work to one block of pavement, in
stead of two, with hopes of getting
the other approved later..
This proposal did not meet with
general favor, however, several mem
bers expressing the opinion there
should be no piece-meal construction
of these two important blocks of
heavily traveled highway that have
so long given Plattsmouth a black eye
with traveling motorists. A few, how
ever, voiced the opinion it might be
better to take the half loaf now and
run chances on getting the rest later.
The motion that was carried by
unanimous vote was to re-apply for
the two blocks, pledging all available
money in the gas tax fund and ask
ing property owners to make up the
shortage.
Present at the meeting was Charles
G. Young, of Lincoln, approving of-,
ficer and contact man for the seven
teen southeastern Nebraska counties
comprising the Lincoln district, who
was empowered by the council to re
draft the application on such basis
as will bring the man-year cost Just
inside the federal requirements,
which, as above stated, commits the
city to expenditure of all its available
gas tax money and in addition will
require contributions from the prop
erty owners to the amount of almost
SI, 000, and unless this sum can be
raised the repaving of Sixth street
will egain be lost.
Aside from gas tax money, which
the law specifically appropriates for
street improvement and maintenance,
the city has no other funds available
and will not register warrants in
order to get the work through.
Workmen Draw Security Wage
Besides the convenience of having
the street repaved . and adequate
drainage extension provided, there is
also to be considered the employment
angle, with money paid to laborers

on the security wage basis amounting
to about half the total cost, or some
$7,000. All of this money will prom
ptly find its way back into trade
channels herein Plattsmouth, proving
far more satisfactory from a business
standpoint than a dole of two or three
dollars a week paid to families on re
lief for the purchase of bare necessi
ties of life.
Workmen employed on this and
other federal projects that may be
undertaken in Cass county will be
paid security wages of $32 a month
for common labor and $38 for inter
mediate classifications, with a few
highly skilled men at $4 4. This is
based on 130 hours of work a month,
or straight five day weeks of six
hours per day. If weather prevents
continuous work, the men will be paid
their wages just the same, provided
they show up daily on the job. The
money to pay wages for such non
work days is provided by the govern
ment in addition to the regular sum
alloted to the job for payment of
labor actually performed.
The total amount of federal funds
alloted to this repaving Job, under
the new application now being made
will be approximately $9,000.
