the excellent business administration
that had been given the people of Ne

and the support that had been ac
corded the other state officials in

Injury, suffered in an. automobile ac

HOME AFTER 37 YEARS
Cedar Bluffs, Neb. For the first
time in 37 years George Peterson, 54,
is back home and his family say they
will "try to keep him here."
In 1899, George had a family quar
rel and pedaled away on a bicycle.
For 37 years his two brothers, sister
and mother, now 91 years old, had
no knowledge of his whereabouts.
Last week, however, George wrote
to his two brothers Peter and Wil
liam both of Cedar Bluffs telling them
he was ill and wanted to see his
folks. Peter immediately cauea
George at Portland, Ore., telling him
he would come to Portland at once.
George, however, said he would come
hfirp nnd Wednesday he arrived. He
rested and visited his brothers and
his sister, Mrs. Mary Schultz of Mal
mo. Soon perhaps Friday, they'll all
drive over to Malmo, 10 miles from
here, to see their mother the first
family reunion in 37 years.
PROMISES WATER IN CANAL
North Platte. Donald D. Price,
chief engineer and general manager
of the Platte valley public power and
irrigation district, said that water
would be turned from the project e
Sutherland reservoir into the canal
and regulating reservoir Thursday.
He had a conference with a dele
gation of Dawson county irrigators
and explained to them the district
was doing all it could to furnish wa
ter to irrigators this year. Water
will be ready for delivery thru the
power house of the district sometime
in July or August.
Engineers for the district were
scheduled to present to the board of
directors plans for the construction
of a by-pass from the Sutherland
reservoir to the South. Platte river.
Price said the cost" of the by-pass
would be approximately $ 20 0,000 but
that it would be "physically impos
sible" to have it ready for use thi3
year, if the board approves the plan.
SUSENESS HESITANCY FADES
New York. An Improvement in
business sentiment during the first
part of the second quarter was dis
closed by the American Bankers as
sociation in its monthly publication.
"Business during the first part of the
second quarter is showing a tendency
to advance, generally speaking, in
comparison with the hesitancy dis
played in many lines during Febru
ary and March," it was stated.
"It is entirely possible, of course,
that the rate of recovery may not
be maintained, yet it might be re
garded as reassuring in some respects
if improvement proceeded at a slow
er pace. . . . The advance in April
was above expectations, seasonal fac- i
tors and all considered, in large part
as a reaction from flood and adverse
conditions in previous months.
Would Bar
Pupils from
School Work
Eakota County District Objects to
Teaching Federal Wards Ap
peal to Supreme Court.
School district No. 4 of Dakota
county, which operates a grade and
high school at Jackson, appealed to
the supreme court Tuesday from an
order of District Judge Ryan that
they admit to their schools and give
proper instruction to 28 children be
longing to 13 families that have been
settled by the federal government
two miles from town in connection
with rehabilitation work.
It was first announced that the
government would build its own
school, but lately admission to the
Jackson school, which is said to be
overcrowded with 47 pupils, was
sought and denied. The title to the
tracts of land upon which these fam
ilies have been settled is in the Ne
braska Rural Rehabilitation Corpor
ation, and is exempt from taxation.
Last year's taxes were paid by it be
cause when the land was assessed it
was in the name of a private indi
vidual.
The district claims that these fam
ilies are not bona fide residents, and
that it is unfair for the government
to unload their children on them and
demand that they furnish tuition
free. Its officers say that this places
a great and unfair burden upon
them, and will greatly increase taxes;
that the final result will be confis
cation by taxation of the property of
all private citizens; that it puts a
great hardship on them and makes
for unequal assessments. It is de
nounced as a fraud upon the district.
The government has bought small
tracts of land for the settlers, erect
ed buildings, provided a cow, chick
ens and hogs, the buildings consist
ing of a house, barn, chicken coop
and a cave. The government is pay
ing each head of a family $32 a
month digging caves.
The case is similar to another ap
peal pending in which a Hall coun
ty school district was enjoined. For
the current school year, the state
superintendnet's office is paying tui
ti6n for the children out of 1935 leg
islative appropriation, but judges in
both Hall and Dakota counties ruled
the constitution requires the furnish
ing of free education to all children
within a school district.
